CM160PVF Variable Frequency Screw Air Compressor

CM160PVF Full Technical Specification — Working Pressure, FAD, Power & Dimensions

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM)

At the heart of the CM160PVF sits a rare-earth permanent magnet rotor integrated directly onto the airend shaft — a direct-drive configuration that eliminates belt losses, gear losses, and coupling inefficiencies common in conventional designs. The PMSM motor maintains high power factor and efficiency even at partial loads, which is precisely where traditional induction motor compressors haemorrhage energy. Over a full working year in a typical UK manufacturing environment, this translates into energy savings that can exceed 35% compared to fixed-speed alternatives, with typical payback periods well under three years at current UK industrial electricity tariffs.

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Inverter Control

The integrated variable frequency drive continuously monitors system pressure and adjusts motor speed in real time to match actual air demand. Unlike load/unload cycling in fixed-speed machines — which wastes power running unloaded — the VFD modulates output between its minimum and maximum FAD range with no discrete step changes. This soft-start capability also dramatically reduces mechanical stress on the airend, bearings, and seals at startup, extending service intervals and total asset life. The inverter cabinet is IP54-rated and thermally managed, suitable for the damp, variable-temperature conditions characteristic of British factory environments.

Premium Airend & Materials

The twin-screw airend uses asymmetric rotor profiles machined to micron-level tolerances from high-grade alloy steel, surface-treated for extended corrosion resistance. Sealed, grease-packed precision bearings require no external lubrication maintenance for up to 40,000 hours of operation. The oil-injected compression stage uses food-grade compatible synthetic lubricants, and the high-efficiency oil separation system ensures downstream air cleanliness well within ISO 8573-1 Class 1 standards when paired with appropriate filtration — critical for pharmaceutical, food, and electronics manufacturing clients across England, Scotland, and Wales.

Automotive Manufacturing

Powering paint booths, robotic assembly lines, press shops, and bodywork tooling in facilities from the West Midlands to Sunderland. The CM160PVF’s consistent pressure band ensures spray finish quality and robotic repeatability throughout multi-shift production schedules.

Food & Beverage Processing

Supplying clean, dry, oil-free compatible compressed air for bottling, canning, CO₂ recovery, pneumatic conveying, and hygiene cleaning in breweries, dairy plants, and food packing lines throughout Northern England and the Home Counties. Compliant with BRC and BRCGS food safety standards.

Laser Cutting & Metal Fabrication

Providing the high-pressure, high-purity assist gas flow that modern fibre laser cutters and plasma systems demand. Clean, dry compressed air at consistent pressure is non-negotiable for cut-edge quality on stainless, mild steel, and aluminium sheet. The CM160PVF screw air compressor supports multiple simultaneous cutting heads without pressure drop.

Pharmaceutical & Cleanroom

Supporting tablet pressing, blister packing, sterile filling, and laboratory instrument supply in UK pharmaceutical sites requiring GMP-compliant compressed air. Low noise output of 78 dB(A) is compliant with occupational noise exposure limits under UK HSE guidelines, reducing the need for acoustic enclosures.

Up to 35% Energy Saving

VFD speed modulation matches output precisely to demand, eliminating no-load running losses entirely.

Ultra-Low 78 dB(A) Noise

Direct-drive PM motor and acoustic-optimised housing keep noise at conversation levels — no sound enclosure required in most UK settings.

Extended Service Intervals

Sealed bearings rated 40,000+ hours and soft-start VFD reduce mechanical stress, extending time between planned maintenance interventions.

Stable Pressure Band

Pressure fluctuation held within ±0.05 MPa regardless of demand swings — essential for precision manufacturing processes.

CE & UK PSSR Compliant

Fully certified to CE marking standards and UK Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, ensuring seamless approval for installation across British industrial sites.

Smart Controller Interface

Colour touchscreen controller with remote Ethernet/Modbus connectivity supports integration into factory SCADA, BMS, and Industry 4.0 monitoring platforms.

“We’ve been running the CM160PVF for over 14 months now in our Sheffield stamping facility. The noise reduction alone justified the upgrade — our operators can actually hold conversations next to the machine. Energy bills are noticeably lower and maintenance has been zero-fault so far.”

“Ever Power’s team worked with our M&E consultant to size and configure the unit for our bottling hall expansion. The response was fast, the pricing was competitive, and the commissioning was handled professionally. The variable speed control is perfect for our demand fluctuations during seasonal production peaks.”

Food & Beverage Production, East Midlands

“We needed a compressor that could support four simultaneous fibre laser cutting beds without pressure variance. The CM160PVF screw ауа компрессоры handles it without breaking a sweat. Cut quality has been outstanding and assist gas consumption is measurably reduced. Strongly recommended for any serious laser cutting operation.”

🏭 Our Production Capability

Ever Power operates a 38,000 m² manufacturing facility equipped with CNC rotor-grinding machines, automated assembly lines, and a dedicated testing bay capable of full-load performance validation up to 250 kW. ISO 9001:2015 quality management governs every stage from raw material induction through to final factory acceptance testing. Our in-house R&D team holds over 60 registered patents in rotary screw compression technology, and we continuously invest in precision machining upgrades to maintain the rotor profile tolerances that separate premium airend performance from commodity manufacture.

⚙ Custom Configuration Service

We understand that no two industrial sites are identical. Ever Power provides a full custom engineering service for the CM160PVF and our entire screw air compressor range, including: bespoke pressure ratings beyond standard catalogue ranges; custom canopy and enclosure colours for brand or safety compliance; integrated refrigeration or desiccant dryer packages; remote monitoring packages pre-configured for Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell FactoryTalk; special voltage configurations for 525V, 600V, and 690V site power; and cold-climate packages for outdoor installations in Scotland and Northern England. Our applications engineers will work directly with your site team to produce a fully engineered solution, not just a catalogue selection.
