HQD20 12-16BAR Rotary Screw Air Compressor with Variable Speed: Direct Drive, 20HP, 1400LPM

The high-pressure range of full-feature screw compressors is specifically designed for use with fiber laser cutting machines. The 16 bar high pressure rotary screw has an extreme pressure to meet the requirements of most laser cutters. Designed with a comprehensive 5 stage filtration system and air dryer, rest assured absolutely no impurities are present in this unit’s air output, guaranteeing no air impairments to your laser cutter. As the cost of operating with nitrogen increases, 16-bar screw compressors are becoming a more popular choice due to their significantly lower running costs—typically less than one-eighth of the cost of nitrogen systems. Due to this unit’s variable speed, unlike most air compressors that run continuously, these machines only operate as needed, minimizing waste and optimising energy use.

The 20HP 16BAR and 30HP 18BAR full-feature compressors are equipped with a high-efficiency refrigeration air dryer and a 5-stage filtration system. As the compressor draws in air to compress, it also brings in moisture from the atmosphere. If this moisture enters your airline, it can not only lead to problems within the compressor and other equipment, but also impair your laser cutter’s accuracy. The most effective solution to prevent these issues is the installation of an air dryer. Air Our HQD Variable Speed Compressors are built to lower your power consumption, offering a quick return on investment. With an impressive output of 1400 liters per minute at 16 bar (232psi), these compressors are ideal for high-pressure laser cutting applications. For ease of use, the compressor features an LED touchscreen control panel, allowing users to easily monitor its performance, check service intervals based on operating hours, view critical data such as operating pressure (in MPa or PSI) and energy consumption. The full-feature unit also includes a built-in refrigeration air dryer and a 500L air receiver, making installation quick and straightforward— everything is pre-installed and ready to go, requiring only an electrician to wire the system.

Dryers are designed to remove moisture before it reaches your airlines, helping you avoid costly and damaging problems down the line. The Peerless-branded filters are specifically engineered to efficiently remove solid particles, water, oil aerosols, hydrocarbons, odors, and vapors from compressed air systems that will damage and hinder your laser cutter. The 3 stage oil filtration and 2 stage dust and particle filtration fitted to this unit will ensure the performance of your laser cutter is always on point.

Revolutionary Laser Cutting Technology

The HQD20VSHP-FF-16 delivers an impressive 1400L/min at 16 bar (232psi), making it the perfect choice for fiber laser cutting applications. With operating costs typically less than 1/8th of nitrogen systems, this compressor offers substantial savings while maintaining exceptional performance.
