30 HP Rotary Screw Air Compressors

Energy-Saving Control:

The integrated refrigerated dryer in "T” units provides high efficiency performance thanks to its energy saving control. The dryer is active only when compressed air actually needs to be dried. This approach achieves the required compressed air quality with maximum efficiency.

Eco-Drain:

The integrated refrigerated dryer also features a zero loss Eco-Drain. The advanced level-controlled condensate drain eliminates the compressed air losses associated with solenoid valve control. This saves energy and considerably enhances the reliability of the compressed air supply.

Climate-Friendly Design:

In addition to energy-saving controls, our integrated dryers feature the new R-513A refrigerant with 56% lower global warming potential than common dryer refrigerants. Combined with our advanced heat exchanger design, we need only half the refrigerant — resulting in the most climate-friendly dryer possible.

Kaeser's 30 hp rotary screw air compressors provide outstanding efficiency and reliability. Featuring an energy-saving SIGMA PROFILE airend, these compressors meet and exceed our customers' expectations, outperforming and outlasting other compressor solutions on the market. Choose from a v-belt drive design (AS series) or a true direct drive model (ASD).

We've designed these compressors from the ground up with the user in mind. Fewer wearing parts and using premium quality materials ensure reduced maintenance requirements, longer service intervals, and extended service life. With our 30 hp air compressor, you get a smarter component layout with generously sized maintenance doors that simplifies service and lowers your operating costs.

In our comprehensive design approach, Kaeser chooses the components that work together in the most energy-efficient way possible. We carefully select each and every component, from inlet filter to discharge flange, with performance in mind. In fact, these 30 hp screw compressors are more efficient than the competition. With Kaeser’s superior integrated controls, we guarantee an efficient system with lower operating costs, however small or large your demand may be.

Kaeser’s screw compressors meet our rigorous “built for a lifetime” standard. Designed and built with Kaeser’s generations of compressed air experience, these 30 hp air compressors will continue to deliver the air you need with the exceptional reliability you expect from a Kaeser compressor.

The SIGMA CONTROL does more than manage compressor operation. It gives your maintenance team visibility into system health before problems escalate. The integrated web server and Ethernet interface allow remote monitoring of operating parameters, pressure settings, temperature readings, service intervals, and fault history from any connected device. For multi-unit installations, the SIGMA CONTROL interfaces with Kaeser's SIGMA AIR MANAGER master controller, which coordinates compressor output across the system to match demand and eliminate unnecessary runtime.

The 30 hp rotary screw air compressor class covers numerous industrial and commercial applications. Common users of these compressors include: 

• Automotive service facilities and body shops running multiple air tools simultaneously 
• Fabrication shops operating plasma cutters and pneumatic grinders 
• Food production lines requiring clean, dry air for packaging and conveying operations 
• Mid-size manufacturing plants with assembly tooling 

Facilities with variable air demand, where production runs differ in intensity throughout the shift, often find that SFC variable-speed drive models produce the most meaningful energy savings, while operations with steady, predictable demand are well served by the fixed-speed AS or ASD series.

A rotary screw air compressor performs at its best when it operates as part of a properly engineered system. The AS and ASD series units ship fully piped and connection-ready, which simplifies installation considerably, but the equipment surrounding your compressor directly impacts air quality, pressure stability, and operating costs.

Kaeser's "T" models include an integrated refrigerated dryer mounted in a separate cabinet, keeping it isolated from compressor heat and internal contaminants. For facilities with more demanding air-quality requirements, such as food processing, pharmaceutical packaging, or precision manufacturing, we can include additional filtration and drying equipment downstream. We size and select our compressed air treatment products to match the full flow of your 30 hp air compressor, so the system meets your air quality targets at every point of use.

Because rotary screw compressors run continuously rather than cycling on and off like reciprocating machines, a properly sized air receiver works with the SIGMA CONTROL to buffer short-duration demand peaks and maintain stable header pressure — rather than serving as the primary storage source. A correctly sized receiver allows the SIGMA CONTROL to manage load and unload cycles efficiently while preserving consistent pressure throughout the facility. Kaeser's engineering team can help determine the appropriate receiver volume for your application based on your peak demand, pressure band, and system piping volume.

The piping network between your compressor and your production equipment affects pressure drop, air quality, and energy costs. Kaeser's SmartPipe™ modular aluminum piping system connects directly to the AS and ASD series discharge and features smooth interior surfaces, leak-resistant fittings, and a layout that simplifies future expansion. Proper piping design ensures the efficiency built into your 30 hp screw compressor is preserved all the way to the point of use.

Kaeser's application engineers can evaluate your facility's cfm requirements, pressure targets, air quality needs, and physical installation constraints to identify the right 30 hp rotary screw air compressor configuration for your operation.
