Kobelco® KNW Series Oil-Free, Rotary Screw Air Compressor is designed to have a long operating life, require minimum maintenance and low operating costs. Kobelco® features FDA approved rotor coating that further increases volumetric efficiency for the life of the machine.
Energy Efficient Operation
The load and unload control provides efficient operation while eliminating adjustments and minimizing maintenance. When the compressor unloads, the brake horsepower drops to approximately 18% of the full load, reducing overall energy costs. The compressor will shut down after operating unloaded for a period of time and will automatically restart on pressure demand.
