Considering that the highest cost in the lifecycle of a compressor is the energy to run it, the unique design of Ultima has allowed us to combine the ultimate performance with the ultimate efficiency, and still deliver a footprint 37% smaller than a conventional two-stage oil-free compressor. This allows easy installation in the smallest possible space – more than a benefit where space is limited – it is a real property cost saving.
Ultima™ - the real deal
Ultima compressors are 100% oil and silicone-free and meet ISO 8573-1 Class Zero (2010), making them the ideal choice for stringent oil-free applications within food and beverage, pharmaceutical, electronic and the automotive industries. What makes this compressor series unique is the lack of a gearbox. Ultima uses ultra high efficiency direct drive motors which replace the gearbox and the single motor, which optimise performance throughout the complete volume range, as the airends can be driven at different speeds dependant on the demand. With a single motor driving both airends together this is not possible. This is where Ultima is hard to beat.
The Ultima utilises an intelligent "digital gearbox" design, which continuously monitors and independently adjust the speeds of each airend, ensuring maximum efficiency and pressure ratios at all times. When any regulated speed compressor gets to the minimum speed, it goes into idle run. For any compressor, this is wasted energy. Ultima uses 45% less energy in idle run than a conventional two-stage compressor and a 160kW compressor uses only 8 kW in idle run.
It is available with iConn remote monitoring. iConn is the all new and smart, proactive real-time monitoring service that delivers in-depth and real-time knowledge on the system to our compressed air users. It enables accurate production planning and total peace-of-mind protection, generating insight and statistics that keep users informed on performance, at the same time highlighting potential issues before they become a problem.
It's compact, low maintenance, high capacity, and exceeds industrial expectations.

The unique drive design
Traditional oil-free compressors are driven by a single motor using a gearbox which in turn, drives both the low and high pressure airends. Gearboxes require oil and create friction which equates to energy loss. Ultima uses ultra high efficiency motors which replace the gearbox and the single motor which optimise performance throughout the complete volume range, as the airends can be driven at different speeds dependant on the demand. With a single motor driving both airends together this is not possible. This is where Ultima is hard to beat.
