General
2.1 Product general description
The XK12 is a robust, medium fl ow, oil free, contactless, low maintenance
screw compressor designed for the contaminant free discharge of dense
bulk powder products (e.g. cement, fl our and lime), usually at 1.5-2.5 bar g
pressure in 3” pipework.
The machine is generally comprised of synchronised screw rotors,
combined main body/step up gearcase assembly and inlet bearing carrier.
The compact shape and size of the compressor make it ideal for mounting
inside the chassis on most vehicles to enable low cost prop. shaft driving.
A through shaft allows CW or ACW input drive rotation with mounting points
on either side of the machine to provide further fl exibility.
The standard compressor package consists of the following equipment:
• Basic XK12 machine and mounting kit.
• Inlet fi lter/kit
• Commissioning fi lter
• Relief valve
• Check valve and fl ange pack.
• Discharge (outlet) silencer - absorptive or reactive
• Torque limiting coupling
