Two New Vilter Single Screws at GCAP
by Jeremy Williams on Oct.16, 2015, under News
This morning we had the privilege of unloading our two new Vilter Single Screws for the new engine room. These are the first single screws at GCAP and are excited to showcase these machines. It has been a pleasure working with Vilter and especially want to thank Sam Gladis.
The Vilter Single Screw compressor is a rotary, positive displacement compressor which incorporates a main screw and two gaterotors. Compression of the gas is accomplished by the engagement of the two gaterotors with the helical grooves in the main screw. The drive shaft imparts rotary motion to the main screw which in turn drives the intermeshed gaterotors.
