Providing tools and aggregates with a pneumatic machine brings many benefits to the workflow. The supply of compressed air involves the formation of a force action, which eliminates the need to use network sources of energy supply. Compressors act as force generators, while having different technical and physical characteristics. The segment of domestic models of this equipment is inferior to foreign equipment in some respects, but there are companies that offer solutions that are optimal in terms of price and quality. These include the manufacturer Interskol. The compressor of this brand combines the reliability of the design, new technologies, wide functionality and modern ergonomics. However, the company's family offers several compressor options with an emphasis on different performance.
Features of compressors "Interskol"
In the same niche with manufacturers of the level of Fubag, Abac and Metabo, not every Russian company will be able to surprise with something. Nevertheless, Interskol engineers and designers are developing durable structures that are easy to manage and low price. Compressor balanceis the core concept of the company. This problem is solved in different ways. For example, to ensure the reliability of the units, protective coatings against corrosion are used (the receiver is processed), valves are integrated in case the pressure indicator is exceeded, and casings with increased strength are installed. So that the Interskol air compressor does not impede the processes of physical handling and control during use, the creators provide for the presence of supporting elements in the form of legs and wheels in the design.
A damping anti-vibration protection is also used to increase stability, and in general, designers strive to minimize the dimensions of equipment without losing performance. Added to this is the possibility of integrating measuring devices to monitor the operating parameters of the compressor. A manometer has long become an obligatory component, and in modern versions, the Interskol compressor is also provided with a pressure switch to change pressure indicators.
Key characteristics of compressors
According to the main performance indicator in the form of air supply, domestic compressors can suit both an ordinary home craftsman and an industrial workshop. In medium modifications, oil belt units provide about 150-200 l / min. For more demanding tasks, you can look at the equipment that works with indicators of 400-500 l / min. As for the average working pressure, it is 8-10 bar, depending on the type of installation and its power potential. Here the nominal value parameter will also be significant.engine power "Interskol". The compressor is provided with electric power units of 1.5-3 kW. Accordingly, the higher the performance, the more powerful the electric motor will be. These parameters are also related to the volume of the receiver, which can hold 25, 50, and 100 liters.
Types of Interskol compressors
The company mainly produces coaxial compressors, which are also called reciprocating. The features of such units include the combination of mechanical components and an electric motor into one system. Both the piston and the power plant operate at the same speed, which allows the compressor to be reduced in size. Also, the developers rely on oil and belt models. Oil-free devices differ from oil-free devices in a longer service life, but their air quality is less high. Lubricant particles can get into the air streams, which adversely affects the operation of the pneumatic tool. But on the other hand, the Interskol oil compressor is optimally suited for semi-professional areas of operation. It is effective in car workshops, on production lines and in the maintenance of construction equipment. Belt modifications, due to the features of the drive, are more resistant to wear and damage, but have slightly reduced performance.
Model KV-240/25
Entry level compressor with low power and modest performance. The technique has a coaxial device with a piston and provides for oillubricant. With a power potential of 1.8 kW, the unit is capable of supplying air with a volume of 130 l / min. This is enough to maintain the function of the sandblaster, which is planned to perform cleaning or painting surfaces. Users also note the good ergonomics that this Interskol compressor is endowed with. Reviews highlight both the comfortable handle for the operator and the wheels, complete with rubberized stanchions.
Model KV-430/50
Medium performance compressor, which is considered one of the most popular in the family. The model belongs to the category of belt oil units, from which it follows that the emphasis is on increasing durability at the expense of lowering productivity. According to the manufacturer, this modification has a service life of about 7,000 working hours before repair. The volume of the receiver is 50 l, and the productivity is 430 l/min. What is more important, the compressor "Interskol" KV-430/50 is made of materials improved in terms of working properties. For example, the cylinder group is made of honed cast iron and the valves are made of polyurethane.
Model KVB-330/50
One of the most expensive compressor stations in the company's family. This is an oil-free piston unit with many design features. Engineers used pistons without a functional edge, and the cylinder walls were treated with aluminum oxide. The result was an optimized technical basis, ready forwork with frequent starts in conditions of temperature changes. In addition, this model can be considered as a universal installation. The developers have provided two quick-detachable connections, which makes it possible to use several consumers at the same time. But before that, it is important to make sure that the equipment being serviced meets the requirements of the Interskol donor station. The compressor operates at 10 bar and delivers a flow rate of 330 l/min.
What to consider when choosing a compressor?
In addition to calculating the basic performance indicators, it will not be superfluous to initially decide on the configuration of the equipment. Depending on the nature of the operation, additional fittings, hoses, filtration devices and adapters may be required. Lubrication should also be provided in advance. In particular, the compressor "Interskol" 430/100 refers to oil technology and in the process of working with large volumes, it will require stable protection against corrosion. It is desirable to provide it with mineral oils with modifiers that increase the physical qualities of the composition. As an addition, you should also take care of measuring instruments that will allow you to keep under control the possible loads of the equipment.
Conclusion
At first glance, the connection of construction or production equipment with a compressor station seems complicated and unreasonably expensive. However, the principle of power supply with compressed air in practiceapplication is not only economical, but also beneficial in terms of the efficiency of the work cycle. Also, the equipment itself is inexpensive, especially in the case of Interskol products. A budget-level compressor with a 25-liter receiver costs about 9-10 thousand rubles. Such a unit is suitable for working with light construction pneumatics. In the middle and upper segments, there are productive and reliable models worth 25-30 thousand. Equipment of this type can be safely used for professional needs.
