Although screw compressors have some construction advantages compared with the widespread piston compressors, its market share in the industry increases slowly. One of these advantages: screw compressors have few mobile parts, this is why they have low maintenance needs. Besides, they are really quiet and efficient. Screw compressors are rotary compressors, whose helicoidal rotors gradually decrease the compression chamber and continuously compress the intake gas (e. g. air). At Surplex you will find used screw compressors from leading manufacturers such as KAESER, ATLAS COPCO, BOGE and DEMAG. There are also modern models with few operating hours among them!

A reciprocating compressor is much more expensive in regards to maintenance and energy usage. Compressed air is a form of energy that is essential in all modern industry facilities. Whether it is for pneumatically operated machines or compressed air cleaning guns, a compressed air tube and compressor are necessary in almost all industrial facilities. Contrary to the reciprocating compressor, screw compressors only have two movable parts. The screws are complexly formed workpieces that move against and into one another. 
Through this movement, they transport the in-coming gas from one side of the screw to the other. Thereby, the space in between the screws becomes continually smaller, resulting in the compression of the in-coming gas. Screw compressors work significantly more quietly and efficiently than reciprocating compressors. At the same time, they require a higher minimum speed and have specifically designed components. 
Screw compressors are not as widely available as reciprocator compressors and they are not yet commonly used in small refrigerator units or freezers. In the industrial context, screw compressors make up about 50% of compressors.
