Scroll Compressors Medical Air Systems Operating without the application of oil during the compression process, Amico’s scroll compressors will deliver the high quality, oil-less compressed air your facility demands. By utilizing Amico’s scroll compressors, end users can rest assured that the system will run quietly with little vibration, low starting torque and low maintenance. Our scroll compressor systems ensure pollutants and environmental contaminants are removed from the compressed air stream at all times, resulting in further savings for our customers on operating and maintenance...

Scroll Air Technology Delivery Opening with Fail-Safe Temperature Sensor for Unit Protection Scroll compressors are orbital motion, positive displacement compressors whereby suction and compression are obtained through the utilization of two mating, spiral shaped scroll halves (one fixed and one orbiting). The fixed scroll is attached to the compressor body and the orbiting scroll is coupled to the crankshaft and rotates rather than being stationary. The orbiting motion creates a series of gas pockets traveling between the two scrolls. On the outer portion of the scroll, the pockets draw in...

Reciprocating Compressors Medical Air Systems With decades of accumulated experience, our proficiency in evaluating and applying air compressors, filters, regulators, dryers and dew point/CO instrumentation has enabled us to develop and manufacture the newest class of reciprocating air compressors. What differentiates Amico’s reciprocating air compressors from the rest is that we have a renowned reputation for manufacturing the most reliable and efficient compressors. Our mandate at Amico is to reduce unnecessary expense for our clients while ensuring each assembly is vigilantly designed...

Piston Head The reciprocating air compressor system is the most widely used equipment for gas service. The basic design consists of a piston in a cylinder with pressure-actuated check valves to control suction and discharge flow through the cylinder. Inlet Connection Belt Guard Electric Motor Standard practice is to have the piston driven by a rod passing through a packing case to seal against pressure leaks. With this design, gas can be compressed on both sides of the piston. Aftercooler (rear) Base Low hp - Triplex Modular Stack Mount High hp - Triplex Modular Stack Mount Quadruplex...

Contact-Less Claw Vacuum Systems Medical Vacuum Systems Amico’s contact-less claw vacuum systems are refined and economical in design. Utilizing the most advanced technology of an oil-less, high efficiency, frictionless claw mechanism, end users are provided with the most energy saving and high performance system possible. Operating friction-free with no lubrication necessary for proper functioning, selecting Amico guarantees cost effectiveness. Capable of producing the most CFM per HP of any medical vacuum technology, our contact-less claw is capable of running reliably for a lengthy...

Claw System Technology Electric Motor Terminal Box Located within the compression chambers are two claw shaped rotors which trap air as they rotate in opposite directions without the use of friction or lubrication. Subsequently, the air is compressed by the rotor and released through a silencer into the atmosphere. The non-return valve incorporated into the inlet flange prevents air from flowing back into the vacuum chamber when the pump is shut off. The contact-less claw vacuum pumps are direct driven by a flanged motor and coupling is synchronized via precision gears. Acoustic Enclosure...

Lubricated Rotary Vane Vacuum Systems Medical Vacuum Systems The Amico lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps are single-staged, air-cooled and direct driven. Proven to be one of the most reliable pumps currently available in the industry; the compact, simple design offers low maintenance as well as quiet and long lasting operation to end users. Constructed with direct driven vacuum pumps, this assembly eliminates potential wearing or loosening of gears. Additionally, the dynamically balanced multi-vane design yields maximum heat dissipation for the vacuum system. Duplex Horizontal Tank Mount...

Lubricated Rotary Vane System Technology The lubricated rotary vane consists of a rotor positioned within the cylindrical housing such that it operates in close proximity to the cylinder. When the rotor begins to rotate, centrifugal force pushes the blades out of the rotor slots, causing them to slide against the internal surface of the cylinder. Discharge Port Electric Motor During rotation of the pump’s rotor, the entering gas is trapped between the vanes of the vacuum. As the pump continues to rotate the gas is compressed and discharged to the exhaust chamber. The discharged gas is...

Dry Rotary Vane Vacuum Systems Medical Vacuum Systems The oil-less rotary vane vacuum pumps are designed to meet the demanding requirements of various medical facilities. Thanks to the implementation of a very simple yet highly reliable design, Amico’s oil-less rotary vane pumps provide excellent vacuum performance. Constructed with self-lubricating, carbon/graphite vanes and operating 100% oil-free, we guarantee our clients the following benefits: no oil leakages, less frequent vane change out and low operation and maintenance cost.
