Reliability
The reliability of machines is a cornerstone of operational excellence in any industry. Reliable machinery minimizes unexpected failures, which can lead to costly downtime and disruptions in productivity.
VSD & circulation valve increases machine reliability
The Variable Speed Drive and circulation valve ensure smooth, continuous operation by matching output to demand, eliminating frequent load/unload cycles and start/stop events. This reduces mechanical stress, lowers wear, and extends the booster’s service life.

Oxygen inlet
The quality of the inlet oxygen has a significant impact on the booster’s performance and reliability. The minimum recommended inlet O₂ quality is Class 2:2:1 in according with ISO 8573-1:2010.
-
Variable Speed Drive
- Lowers starting current, reducing impact on the local power grid.
- Deliver the flow according to consumption, eliminating the waste during unload operation, and lowering energy consumption.
- The adjustable flow provides the flexibility for OGB to suit all applications, even those with high flow fluctuations.
-
Elektronikon
- Dedicated start/stop button with warning indicator, providing operators with an intuitive control and a clear visual alert on operational status.
- Remote control connectivity allows integration with the central control system, enabling automated workflows and the ability to start or stop the machine from a safe distance, reducing exposure to potential hazards.
-
Blow-off valve
The blow-off valve releases outlet pressure before startup, allowing the machine to start under no-load conditions.
-
Pump block
- The double-acting design improves performance while keeping the pump block compact.
- The vertical inline cylinder aligns piston movement with gravity, reducing wear and extending component life.
-
Oil-free crankcase
- No oil needed in the booster, eliminate contamination risks with O2.
- Prevents potential explosion hazards caused by contact between O2 and oil.
-
Main motor (IE3)
The IE3 motor delivers high mechanical output with minimal energy loss, boosting overall efficiency.
-
Oxygen ventilation
Leaked or vented O₂ is safely collected through a dedicated pipe that can be routed outside the work area.
-
Cooler
High performance cooler ensures the stable inter/outlet temperature and enhance over all machine reliability.
-
Circulation
- Enables flow delivery based on application requirements even under high flow fluctuation.
- Eliminates the load/unload and enhancing overall system reliability.
-
Pressure gauge
Inlet and outlet pressures are clearly visible at a glance, making operation and monitoring easier.
