Compressors CompAir Ultima – the ideal solution for your business

Revolution in energy efficiency

Compressors CompAir Ultima series – a new word in oil-free compressed air technologies. Designed with the highest standards of energy efficiency in mind, these compressors combine innovative design with exceptional performance. The Ultima series (models U75 – U160) offers variable operating speed, available in both air and water cooling. Thanks to the advanced developments of CompAir, part of the Gardner Denver group, you get equipment that surpasses traditional analogs in all parameters.

Why Ultima – the number one choice?

Ultima – not just a compressor, but a true revolution in the compressed air industry. A unique design with low and high-pressure dry screw blocks, each equipped with an individual permanent magnet synchronous motor with variable speed, ensures unmatched efficiency. Unlike traditional oil-free compressors, Ultima eliminates the use of gearboxes, reducing energy losses and increasing overall performance.

Energy efficiency at a new level

• Savings of up to 13% energy compared to standard solutions.
• Minimal electricity consumption in idle mode – up to 45% less than competitors.
• A unique heat recovery system allows the use of up to 98% of the heat generated during compression for heating or industrial processes.

Compactness and ease of installation

Thanks to a 37% reduction in size compared to traditional two-stage oil-free compressors, Ultima is ideal for spaces with limited room. It can be installed directly in the workplace without the need for complex ventilation systems.

Benefits for your business

The highest air quality

Ultima compressors are certified to ISO 8573-1 Class Zero (2010) standard, guaranteeing 100% absence of oil and silicone. This makes them the ideal choice for industries with strict air purity requirements, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automotive manufacturing.

Flexibility and scalability

The Ultima series allows easy equipment upgrades from 75 kW to 160 kW without significant costs or downtime. If your needs grow, an upgrade is immediately available, saving time and money compared to purchasing a new compressor.

Low noise level

With a maximum noise level of 69 dB(A) (water cooling) and 70 dB(A) (air cooling), Ultima is one of the quietest compressors in its class. This allows it to be placed directly in the production area without discomfort for workers.

Innovative technologies in action

Unique drive system

Traditional compressors use a single motor with a gearbox, leading to energy losses due to friction. Ultima replaces the gearbox with two highly efficient motors that independently regulate low and high-pressure speeds. An intelligent "digital gearbox" continuously optimizes the pressure ratio, ensuring maximum efficiency under any load.

Heat recovery: savings and ecology

Ultima – the world’s first air-cooled oil-free compressor with heat recovery for industrial needs. The integrated system allows heating water up to 85°C, enabling savings of up to 91% on heating costs, replacing gas or electric heaters.

Impressive savings: comparison of operating costs

The chart illustrates how CompAir Ultima compressors radically reduce annual energy costs. A comparison of traditional oil-free compressors with Ultima, with and without a heat recovery system, shows savings of up to 91% when replacing electric heaters, highlighting Ultima’s financial benefits and eco-friendliness.

Minimum space – maximum possibilities

This image demonstrates the unique compactness of CompAir Ultima compressors, which take up 37% less space compared to competitors. This design allows easy installation in confined spaces, saving valuable area and reducing setup costs.

Unmatched efficiency at every step

The chart reflects the exceptional energy efficiency of the 160 kW Ultima compressor at 10 bar pressure. Thanks to the innovative drive system, Ultima provides up to 45% energy savings in idle mode compared to traditional models, ensuring optimal performance under any conditions.

Real-world examples of use

Ultima in service of innovation

Ultima compressors have proven their effectiveness in the most challenging conditions. For example, in Saudi Arabia, at the first independent power plant and water desalination facility, Shuaibah Water & Electricity Company (SWEC), four U160 models ensure uninterrupted operation of a facility producing 1,200 MW of electricity and 800,000 m³ of water daily. Thanks to their resistance to high temperatures and high air quality, Ultima became the ideal solution.

Support for the pharmaceutical industry

Thermo Fisher Scientific in the UK chose Ultima to ensure clean air at its production site. Thanks to energy savings of over 30% and projected savings of £12,000 per year, Ultima proved its flexibility and adaptability to varying production needs.

Smart management with iConn

Ultima is equipped with iConn Industry 4.0 technology – an intelligent real-time monitoring system. It helps:

• Predict maintenance needs.
• Avoid unplanned downtime.
• Optimize energy costs.

The system is compatible with APIs such as SAP, GE, and Microsoft, ensuring integration with your existing software.

Additional options for individual needs

Ultima compressors offer a wide range of additional equipment:

• External cooling module (U-Cooler).
• Option for outdoor use with C5M protective coating.
• Heat recovery system for air and water models.
