Question 2

What is the difference between a fixed-speed and VSD screw compressor?

Accepted Answer

A fixed-speed compressor runs at constant motor speed and load/unloads to match demand. A VSD (Variable Speed Drive) compressor adjusts motor speed to exactly match air demand — saving up to 35% energy in variable-load applications. VSD is recommended where air demand varies significantly during a shift.

Question 3

Do you supply screw compressors with tanks and dryers?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we supply complete packages: screw compressor with tank (SANS-compliant air receiver), rotary screw compressor with dryer (refrigeration dryer + filters), or full turnkey systems. All packages are installed and commissioned by our technical team.

Question 4

Are your screw compressors oil-injected?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all standard Trycomp rotary screw compressors are oil-injected (oil-flooded) screw compressors. Oil-free models are available on request for food processing, pharmaceutical and medical applications.

Question 5

What is the quietest screw compressor you supply?

Accepted Answer

Our smallest models are also our quietest. The 7.5kW Trycomp screw compressor runs at approximately 62 dB(A) — comparable to a normal conversation. The 15kW runs at 66 dB(A). All models feature sound-dampened enclosures making them suitable for workshop and light industrial environments.
