Gardner Denver GDK Series of Rotary Screw Compressor
Hybrid Permanent Magnet motor provides significant energy savings
Ingersoll Rand's proprietary HPM motor is an IE5, IP66 rated unit that is designed for maximum efficiency and reliability. Featuring a compact design that is 30% smaller than conventional variable frequency motors, The GDK HPM motor can be directly connected to the male rotor of a compressor's airend. This unique configuration eliminates many of the drive train losses experienced in conventional compressor design, significantly reducing energy consumption. Combined with a detachable stator winding, the unit streamlines maintenance and service, helping to further reduce costs.
Total control delivers maximum productivity
The GDK Series compressors utilize the state-of-the-art LE-120 intelligent touch screen controller. The LE-120 provides simple, user friendly control of the compressed air system. Continuous monitoring of critical components, combined with "smart" control, allows the LE-120 to optimize compressor operation to meet downstream compressed air demand. This allows the GDK Series to provide reliable operation that delivers stable and consistent pressure; maximizing productivity and helping to reduce system downtime in even the most demanding industrial applications.
