Wittig Rotary Vane Compressors

Wittig rotary vane compressors are mostly used for transporting a wide variety of gases and air.

This technlogy is particurlarly reliable, efficient and enduring.

What is a Rotary Vane Compressor?

Rotary vane compressors, also called sliding vane compressors, are a type of displacement compressor that utilizes rotating vanes within a rotor to compress air or gas.

Known for their versatility, these compressors are widely employed across various industrial applications due to their high reliability and efficiency. The terms "sliding vane" and "rotary vane" both refer to the same compressor design; "sliding vane" emphasizes the dynamic movement of individual vanes within the rotor, while "rotary vane" highlights the rotational action of the entire vane assembly.

What is the Working Principle of Rotary Vane Compressors?

In this video you can see the operating principle of the rotary vane compressor:

A rotor with sliding vanes rotates inside an off-center chamber. As it spins, the vane extend, creating a larger volume at the inlet, drawing in air. The rotor's motion compresses the air/gas.
