Comptech · High pressure air
High pressure air boosters for PET
Take your existing plant air up to 40 bar for PET bottle blowing and high pressure testing. Fully air cooled, with no cooling tower. VIMCO sizes, supplies, installs and services them.
What a booster does
It raises pressure you already paid for
A booster is a reciprocating compressor that accepts elevated inlet pressure and boosts it further. Comptech lists inlet up to 10 kg/cm² and outlet as high as 40 kg/cm².
- Make low pressure airA screw compressor serves your plant at around 10 bar.
- Dry and filter itA dryer and filters protect the booster and the bottles.
- Boost to 40 barThe booster raises the pressure for the blowing machine.
- Dry and filter againA high pressure dryer and filters condition the air at the machine.
Booster or dedicated high pressure compressor?
| Booster | High pressure compressor | |
|---|---|---|
| Takes air from | Your plant system | Free atmosphere |
| Best when | Most air is at 10 bar and only part needs 40 | All air needs 40 bar |
| Energy | Uses the work already done | Compresses from zero |
| Flow range | 75 to 400 CFM | Up to 2,565 CFM (oil-free) |
What is inside
Built for PET duty
The features Comptech lists for its boosters.
Fully air cooled
A heavy-duty air-cooled after cooler removes the need for a cooling tower.
Less maintenanceForce-feed lubrication
Concentrated lubrication of the rotating parts reduces friction versus splash lubrication.
Longer life, longer oil lifePiston rings and cylinders
Imported piston rings and precision-bored cylinders keep oil use and wear low.
Lowest oil carryoverValves
Concentric ring valves in imported stainless steel.
Higher efficiencyCrankcase and shaft
High grade cast iron, fully hardened.
Better life, less downtimePLC control
Online pressure, temperature and current measurement, safety settings and maintenance indications.
Easy operationQuiet running
Vibration-free, quieter operation suits plants close to residential areas.
Lower noiseSustainable design
Built for decades of service with the lowest life-cycle cost.

What does your compressed air cost to run?
Enter the compressor power and hours to see the yearly electricity cost.
Energy cost and saving
Use the motor rating and your typical load. The saving figure is yours to set.
Approximate. Uses motor rating × load as input power, which ignores motor losses.
Sizing
What we need to size your booster
Bottle blowing duty cycles are bursty, so we size with your receiver in mind.
