Ultra-Lightweight

Spinning scroll technology provides aerospace applications the lightest compressor and vacuum pump solution available.

Oil-Free Design

Oil-free scroll technology offers a non-lubricated alternative to traditional technology like piston, diaphragm, and vane.

Compact Footprint

Unique staged and co-rotating scroll configurations allow scroll compressors and vacuum pumps to fit in small envelopes without sacrificing performance.

High-Efficiency

When minimal power consumption is critical, leverage the inherent efficiency advantage of orbiting and spinning scroll technology.

Gases Other Than Air

With several patented semi-hermetic configurations, scroll compressors and vacuum pumps can be used for far more than moving air.

Elevated Temperatures

Using patented liquid-cooled scroll technology and stainless steel or other alloys, solutions can be designed to withstand harsh temperatures and environmental conditions.
