Africa Series: A-40VSD to A-350VSD

Built for Africa, Powered by Gratitude

.

Engineered with affordability, durability, and reliability in mind, the Africa Series isn’t just another low-cost compressor—it’s a robust, hardworking solution designed to grow with your business. We refused to compromise on quality, and the result is a range of machines that deliver big performance for small budgets.

The Africa 40HP to 150HP models have an updated design that includes significant changes to the powertrain and cabinets. We focussed on improving durability and reliability across the range and did this by upgrading the electric motor to handle higher swings in unstable power supplies, and upgrading the drive unit on VSD equipped models to compliment the upgraded motors. Cabinets were given a little more space to make repairs and servicing more efficient. Finally new artworks and colour styling refreshed the range with a clean minimalistic modern style.

How to select the right screw compressor model?

Selecting the right low pressure screw compressor model involves several key considerations to ensure that it meets your specific needs. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you make an informed decision:

  1. Understand Pressure and Flow Requirements: Identify the required pressure for your applications. Typically, wastewater treatment plants require a compressor that can adjust to varying air demands. To meet this need, the compressor is equipped with an inverter, allowing it to regulate its speed and airflow effectively through a variable speed drive system.

  2. Evaluate Air Quality Needs: Some industries, like food processing or pharmaceuticals, require oil-free air to avoid contamination. If your industry requires high air purity, consider an oil-free screw compressor model with appropriate filtration.
  3. Consider Efficiency: Look for energy-efficient models that can reduce operational costs over time. 
  4. Size and Space: Take into account the physical size of the compressor and the available space in your facility. Ensure there’s enough room for operation and maintenance access.
  5. Noise Levels: If the compressor is located near workspaces, consider the noise level of the unit. Models with noise enclosure features can be beneficial in reducing noise pollution.
  6. Maintenance and Service: Understand the maintenance requirements of the compressor. Choose a model with easily accessible components to facilitate routine maintenance. Also, consider the availability of service and parts from the manufacturer.
  7. Total Cost of Ownership: Beyond the initial purchase price, consider the total cost of ownership, which includes operating expenditures such as maintenance, repairs, and energy consumption over the lifespan of the compressor.
  8. Additional Features: Depending on your specific needs, you may requireadditional features such as filters, or advanced control systems that can provide additional benefits and convenience.

By carefully evaluating these factors, you can select a low-pressure screw compressor model that will provide reliable performance, meet the demands of your applications, and offer the best value over its operational life.
