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.

Hurricane

The SAUER Hurricane series offers a robust solution for high-pressure needs with its 4-stage, air-cooled compressors designed for pressures up to 400 bar. Featuring a direct drive and efficient air cooling system, these compressors ensure maximum reliability, performance, and easy maintenance even under challenging conditions.

Key features:

  • 4-stage compression for improved cylinder cooling and reduced oil consumption.
  • A highly efficient cooling fan to lower operating temperatures and maintenance needs.
  • Automatic drainage between stages and combined suction/discharge valves.
  • Durable pistons and standard rings in the high-pressure stages.
  • Strong, flange-mounted connection between motor and compressor.

Each compressor undergoes a full pressure test and includes a 3.1 inspection certificate, with a long lifespan and a 25-year spare parts availability guarantee.
