Compressed air treatment

In the FORMULA.E version, the compressed air provided is dried and filtered through
a refrigeration air dryer with R134A ecological gas and by two air treatment filters. The air
dryer package is installed in a separate area of the compressor cabinet but it is controlled
by the compressors microprocessor based controller which regulates its operating cycles
matching the compressed air demands of the system, providing constant monitoring and
control of the dew point. The air treatment filters eliminate all polluting particles which occur
normally in industrial conditions along with water droplets and any lubricant particles resulting
from the compression cycle:

The ceramic pre-filter intercepts solid particles and emulsions up to 5 micron;

A further desoiling filter intercepts solid and liquid particles up to 1 micron.

The compressed air at outlet is thus clean, environmentally friendly and suitable for use in
pneumatic applications throughout industry. A condensate drain controlled by the compressor
microprocessor provides for the single discharge of all the condensate. The discharge time
as well as intervals can be customized by the end-user.
 ED TriAB Air ends
E NT
PAT
The ABAC screw compressors are fitted with the
unique TriAB air ends that are designed and built
exclusively at the ABAC factories, which are
certified to ISO 9001. The highest quality standards are
strictly adhered to throughout the manufacturing
process ensuring constantly high quality.

Highly developed, asymmetric rotor profiles with

precision ground 5/6 lobe configuration,
provides higher compressed air output with lower
power consumption.
Each rotor is fitted with 3 oversized high precision
bearings allowing a longer air end life.
Shaft seal with a 3 lip design providing a total
protection from oil and other contaminants.
Toothed safety washers and special locking nut
ensure that the rotor tolerances are set throughout
the life of the unit for improved reliability.

MC2 Controller
Latest generation microprocessor.
Easy to use, with a backlit display, extended messages,
multi-language, with special functions and/or emergency
signaling leds, the MC2 controller also features:

Possible hardware expansion.

Possibility to interface with other compressors using
the optional interface card.
Daily and/or weekly operational programming of up to
4 compressors allowing start/stop switching
and sequencing control.
Remote Control
Auto-restart
Programmed routine maintenance.
Diagnostic functions with fault log.

Clean inlet air

One of the most important factors in achieving
increased performance and a longer service life with
all rotary screw compressors is the quality of the inlet
air. With this in mind, the FORMULA range features
a two stage air filtration system: air enters through
a pre-filter panel, which helps to keep the internal
components of the compressor clean as well
as maintaining optimum cooling efficiency.
The second stage of filtration occurs as the air flows
through a highly efficient air suction filter, this ensures
that the air entering the compressor element is
cleaned efficiently, thus providing a considerably
longer service life to the whole compressor.
 Accessibility
In the design of the FORMULA series a
good deal of consideration was given
to providing accessibility and ease
of maintenance, all standard service
components have been positioned
at the front of the compressor thus
allowing immediate accessibility by simply
removing the front panel.
Air cooling
The constant air flow generated by the
electric fan provides very efficient cooling
even during continuous use and in high
ambient temperatures. This combined with
the high efficiency air/oil cooler allows
operating temperatures to be very
low. The lower operating temperatures
result in longer life to both components
and to the lubricant.
Low maintenance
times and costs
The quick and easy access to the routine
maintenance components allows
minimum compressor downtime and also
a drastic reduction in service time
and thus lower costs.
Oil filtration
Providing high quality compressed air in
Line with key environmental objectives has
been given a lot of attention during the
development of the FORMULA range.
Thanks to the unique internal design of
The vertical air/oil separator vessel and
the high efficiency air/oil separator
cartridge, very clean compressed air is
provided.
Residual oil content within the delivered
compressed air is less than 3 mg. per
cubic metre. Furthermore, an oversized
and extremely robust stainless steel delivery
hose allows for very low load losses.
Silence
All drive components such as the main
motor and the air end etc. are mounted
on a sturdy baseplate which is supported
by anti vibration-dampers absorbing
vibration and any resulting noise.
The sound absorbent cabinet panels finally
ensure the lowest possible noise levels.
Automatic belt adjustment
The entire FORMULA range features
an automatic belts tensioning system
ensuring longer life to the drive belts,
preventing slipping and allowing for simple
quick replacement.
