The 2018 EPM range features a high-efficiency permanent magnet driven 1:1 direct-drive and a VSD Variable Speed Drive. The unit smoothly slows down and speeds up to only supply the air you need. Depending on how much a customers’ air demands fluctuate, the EPM series can also save up to 60% in power and is capable of a 1-2 year payback.
The EPM now has a new extra-large high-efficiency airend which produces around 10% more air than previously. Plus with the direct-drive efficiency and the permanent magnet drive, the EPM produces up to 10%-15% more air than some other brands. We have found that, on top of all the great power saving features, it may even be possible to use a smaller kW compressor to achieve the customers’ air demands.
Example: If your peak air demand is 7.2m³/min (254cfm) at 8 Bar, A Westair SCR50EPM-8 with a 37kw will deliver the air you require. Other compressor companies could suggest a more costly 45kw or even a 55kw variable speed drive compressor to deliver the air to meet your peak demand.
Just another example of how Westair and SCR are committed to delivering Advanced Energy Saving Compressed Air Solutions
