Belt-driven rotary screw compressors with air receivers and refrigerated air dryers

Rotary screw compressors with air receivers and refrigerated air dryers

Belt-driven rotary screw compressors connected to air receivers with refrigerated air dryers combine compressed air generation, storage, and drying in a single compact unit. In this category, you’ll find the FRD series ranging from 3 to 22 kW with 270- or 500-liter air receivers.

Depending on their capacity, the available models deliver approximately 0.38 to 3.6 m³/min at 8 or 10 bar. The integrated refrigerated air dryer reduces the moisture content of the compressed air produced, thereby facilitating the setup of a compact compressed air station. The appropriate capacity and tank size depend on air demand, operating pressure, load profile, and compressed-air quality requirements.

✅ 3 to 22 kW drive power

✅ 270- or 500-liter air receivers

✅ Integrated refrigerated air dryer

FRD Series with Air Receiver and Refrigerated Air Dryer

Rotary screw compressors with air receivers and refrigerated air dryers combine several key components of a compressed air station into a single compact unit. The FRD series combines a belt-driven rotary screw compressor, a 270- or 500-liter air receiver, and a refrigerated air dryer.

The current product line includes models ranging from 3 to 22 kW. Depending on the power level, they deliver approximately 0.38 to 3.6 m³/min at 8 or 10 bar. The series thus covers workshop and industrial applications with moderate continuous compressed air requirements.

Why an integrated refrigerated air dryer?

During compression, moisture condenses from the ambient air that is drawn in. A refrigerated air dryer reduces the moisture content of the compressed air and helps supply downstream lines and equipment with drier air. However, the actual compressed-air quality required depends on the application; additional filter stages may be necessary for more demanding applications.

270- or 500-liter air receivers

The smallest FRD models, with 3 and 4 kW, are mounted on 270-liter tanks. In the mid-power range, capacities of 270 or 500 liters are available, depending on the model. The larger versions, with 18.5 and 22 kW, are offered with 500-liter tanks.

Capacity tailored to air demand

The 3-kW models start at 0.38/0.46 m³/min. The series ranges across several power levels up to 3.0/3.6 m³/min at 22 kW. Even with a complete station, the following applies: The tank and dryer do not change the fact that the compressor must deliver the required continuous flow rate.

Plan an FRD System

✅ Determine the air consumption of all equipment

✅ Set the operating pressure to 8 or 10 bar

✅ Choose the right 270- or 500-liter container

✅ Check requirements for residual moisture and filtration

✅ Include condensate drain in the system design

Buy a rotary screw compressor with a refrigerated air dryer

Anyone looking to purchase a rotary screw compressor with a refrigerated air dryer and air receiver will find the FRD series designed for this purpose in this category. It is intentionally distinct from the FR series, which lacks an integrated air dryer, and the F series, which is mounted on a basic frame only.
