Technical Gases and High Pressure

Expertly engineered in Germany, the Sauer line of piston compressors is crafted by specialists at J.P. Sauer & Sohn Maschinenbau GmbH in Kiel. These high-performance, oil-lubricated compressors are designed to handle pressures up to 500 barg and are built for continuous operation. They feature reciprocating designs that can compress in up to five stages, with configurations including up to six cylinders arranged in star, V, or W formations. Ideal for both atmospheric suction pressure operations and as gas-tight boosters with pre-pressures up to 25 barg, these compressors offer versatile and reliable performance.

6000 Series

Pressure: Max. 500 barg
Suction Pressure: Max. 20 barg
Volume Flow: 200 – 1,000 m³/h
Rated Power: 120 – 250 kW
Media: Air, Nitrogen, Helium, Natural Gas, Bio-methane, Hydrogen

The SAUER 6000 series water-cooled compressors offer a blend of power and versatility with their modular design, featuring up to six cylinders and delivering pressures up to 500 bar with drive power reaching 230 kW. These large immersion piston compressors excel in challenging environments while providing maximum performance.

Key features include:

– Flexible compression unit configurations.
– Low-vibration operation thanks to W- or V-arranged compression units.
– Fully operational and foundation-free installation with integrated anti-vibration mounts to isolate noise.
– A high-performance water cooling circuit for each cylinder.
– Advanced protection systems with temperature and pressure sensors in every stage.
– Compression of multiple technical gases due to a gastight crankcase and minimal leakage.
– Variable frequency drive support for optimized process control.

Each compressor undergoes a full pressure test and includes a 3.1 inspection certificate, with guaranteed spare parts availability for at least 25 years.
