Efficient Reciprocating Air Compressor

Unique Diagonal Design

The unique Belliss & Morcom ‘W’ design means each compression stage runs on its own cylinder line. This gives you an extra layer of reliability and efficiency. So whatever your system size and output, capacity control can be achieved in the most cost effective way possible. 

Our efficient 50% load system manages smaller flow variations and allows tighter pressure bandwidth without the need for a variable speed drive (VSD). However, where required, Belliss & Morcom high pressure air compressors also offer a market leading VSD system. Combined with our 50% load and available running speed range, it offers unmatched output control - down to 30% of the maximum output.

Reduced Wear

Belliss & Morcom high pressure reciprocating air compressors feature a 45 or 60 degree incline. This reduces static piston ring loading by up to 29.3% compared with horizontal cylinder lines. It means less wear and completely eliminates the need for interim turning of either compression or bearing rings.

Ease of Access

As a result, our engineers have been able to move the largest piston off the vertical cylinder line, significantly improving access and reducing service complexity and downtime.

Compact Footprint

In busy production sites, space is always at a premium, so a smaller machine footprint can be a big advantage. Because of their unique diagonal design, Belliss & Morcom high pressure air compressors are significantly more compact than competitors’ equipment. It means more air delivered for a given amount of factory floor – and valuable extra space for productive activity.

Custom Design

Where your available space is limited, and yet you still require high performance, Belliss & Morcom can create a bespoke solution specifically for you. Our expert team has extensive experience of fitting complete systems in even the tightest of spaces. Our diagonal set up, water cooled motor and modular package mean our systems can operate effectively and efficiently where competitors’ simply can’t fit.
