Compressor unit КС-400

Compressor КС-400 is designed to compress and supply air under pressure. The main characteristic of this compressor is that it does not add oil to the compressed air, which is very important for the food industry, where air purity is important. The compressor is used on semitrailers intended for: flour, cereals, animal feed, lime, lime materials, sand, plastic granules, gravel, cement, etc. 

The compressor is designed as an easy to maintain, reliable in operation and inexpensive unit. The direct drive from the cardan shaft saves additional costs for V-belt or chain drives and the resulting consequential costs. The pulsating supply of compressed air helps during unloading of the product, preventing the formation of "plugs". 

Operating conditions

The compressor is manufactured according to the technical documentation of SESPEL Cheboksary enterprise, CJSC in the climatic version "Y1" in accordance with GOST 15150 and is operated at:

• ambient air temperature from minus 40 to plus 50 degrees Celsius; 
• relative air humidity, up to 80% at 20 ^оС.
  

Technical characteristics

Compressor structure and functioning

The compressor is a mechanism with a positive value of the working chamber volume. During compressor operation the atmospheric air through the air filter enters the cam block, in which the air is compressed by rotating cams. The air enters the compression space which is formed by two cams and the cam block body. When the cam block rotates, the space "moves" and decreases in volume. Thus, the air is compressed. The rotation of the cams is provided by the drive and the drive clutch.
