Claw compressors

The energy consumption of an oil-free claw compressor is generally lower than that of many other compressor technologies because they achieve higher efficiency. The exact savings depend on the specific application and operating conditions. Some key factors include:

• Lower motor power
  Claw compressors require smaller motors in many cases as they operate efficiently at lower speeds, resulting in lower operating costs.

• Optimised compression
  The high efficiency of these compressors leads to better utilisation of the energy applied, which reduces overall energy consumption.

• Longer service life and lower maintenance costs
  The reduced maintenance requirement leads to less downtime and lower indirect energy costs due to frequent repairs.

In practice, the savings can be up to 30-40% compared to conventional, less efficient products, depending on the application and conditions.

Due to their specific design and functionality, Becker claw compressors have several positive environmental impacts:

• Lower Energy Consumption
  The oil-free compressor technology is highly energy efficient, contributing to a lower overall energy demand in industrial applications and directly reducing emissions.

• Oil- and Environmentally Friendly Operation
  The oil- and contact-free operation minimises the risk of oil contamination and reduces the need for oil changes, resulting in less waste and a lower environmental footprint.

• Longer Lifespan and Less Waste
  With high reliability and low maintenance requirements, the compressors last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements and thus minimising waste.

• Use in Environmentally Friendly Applications
  These compressors are often used in wastewater treatment, waste recycling, and air purification, helping to combat environmental issues such as air and water pollution.

Overall, these devices are a sustainable choice for many industrial applications.

Depending on the application, claw compressors (or claw-type compressors) generate a positive pressure - for example, in the form of compressed air for printing processes or drainage systems - whereas claw vacuum pumps are used to create a vacuum in applications such as vacuum clamping or pick & place in woodworking. However, all claw pumps belong to the category of displacement pumps.
