Broomwade

History Defined 1898 was when the BroomWade story started, in the form of Broom and Wade; building machinery for the woodworking industry. 1919 was not only a year of name change ( BroomWade) but it also saw the company produce their first air compressor. Within a short period of time BroomWade built a reputation for quality air compressors, to the point that they were market leaders in many countries. 1968 was when BroomWade merged with Holman to create International Air Corporation, which shortly after became CompAir. Established over 100 years ago, the BroomWade brand is known globally as an established manufacturer of industrial air compressors. BroomWade was acquired by Gardner Denver, Inc. in 2008, a leading global manufacturer of highly engineered compressors, blowers, pumps and other fluid transfer equipment. Our Product: -V-Major Specification The V-Major compressor is a slow speed, double acting, water cooled design – lubricated or oil free and available for pressures from 1.5 to 20.5 barg and power from 55 to 280 KW. Oil Free Option Available with oil free cylinders for applications where oil cannot be tolerated in the gas or air being compressed. Extended piston rods have non-lubricated packings and self lubricating PTFE piston rings run in corrosion resisting, replaceable, austenitic iron cylinder liners. Energy Efficiency Regulation The V-Major has three step regulation for full, part or no load operation to reduce power consumption. Suitable for high ambient temperature These robust compressors work equally well in ambient temperatures of up to 55º c. The V-Major is equipped with water jackets and intercoolers to maintain correct running temperatures. Closed circuit cooling systems can be provided for locations where cooling water in not available. Available options Vee belt driven Direct coupled motors Suitable for gases other than air Custom built packages / specifications - V-Compact Specification The V-Compact is a free standing, single acting, lubricated or oil free unit set on anti-vibration mounts and is suitable for air or water cooling. Pressures range from 1.5 to 10.5 barg and power from 18 to 63kW. For air applications. Oil Free Option Available with oil free cylinders for applications where oil cannot be tolerated in the gas or air being compressed. In-Built Reliability The V-Compact has many built in features to improve reliability. A submerged gear type oil pump gives positive, force fed lubrication to main bearing and crossheads reducing part wear. Valve life is extended through a specially designed discharge pulsation damper. The intercooler ensures cool delivery air to the second stage, compressing air at a lower temperature which will create less moisture. An automatic drain valve opens when the compressor unloads which ensures all condensate is removed from the compressor. Noise Reduction The air intake filter has low resistance to intake air flow and is combined with a silencer to reduce noise. Simple Installation Compact direct coupled design incorporating integral, anti-vibration mounts, requires no special foundations. Efficient Regulations Automatic valve unloading matches air output to system demand to reduce power consumption costs. Available options Air or water cooled intercooler Direct coupled motor or Vee belt driven Custom built packages/ specifications
