SCR: APM screw, GPM2 and XA oil-free air systems

Match pressure and demand to the air path, control range and treatment package before comparing SCR offers.

SCR · Shanghai Screw Compressor Co., Ltd.

A Jinshan compressor manufacturer within the ANEST IWATA network

上海斯可络压缩机有限公司 / Shanghai Screw Compressor Co., Ltd. was established in 2000. ANEST IWATA's current Asia/Oceania network lists SCR at the North Jinshan Industrial Zone in Shanghai with air-compressor manufacture and sales.

ANEST IWATA's November 2017 announcement describes an agreement to acquire 51% of SCR; SCR dates the resulting China–Japan joint venture to 2018. An acquisition agreement and a later operating relationship are different milestones.

Keep SCR separate from the group's Hangzhou compressor company and Shanghai coating-equipment company. Name the legal seller, manufacturing/test site and selected model in the offer. An imported airend or group relationship does not establish that the complete package was made in Japan.

Choose the compression air path before choosing motor size

Industrial plant air

APM: oil-injected screw with variable-speed control

Start with the shift's changing demand and the required header pressure. Define the downstream treatment needed for the process.

Oil-free screw duty

GPM2: two-stage compression and stage-speed control

Match the larger air duty and required oil-free air path. Define drying and model-specific air-quality acceptance.

Oil-free modular duty

XA: scroll modules sequenced with demand

Choose module arrangement, storage and useful remaining capacity during service, then define treatment and control.

APM · Oil-cooled permanent-magnet VSD drive

The pressure suffix and flow band belong together

Capacity note: GB3853, described by the manufacturer as equivalent to ISO1217 Annex C. Standard table supply: 380V / 50Hz / three-phase; confirm other supplies for the selected model.

The source recommends the 60–100% capacity range. Request input/performance through the actual working-shift load; the printed minimum and maximum do not promise the same efficiency throughout the band.

Standalone and T-D offers have different boundaries

The small 10–20 HP T-D arrangements offer dryer, filters and receiver. Their footprint and weight differ from standalone units. State which treatment/storage arrangement is included and specify pressure dew point, oil and particulate requirements at the point of use.

SCR describes an oil-cooled, IP65 permanent-magnet motor and direct airend-shaft mounting. Agree service access, ventilation, controls and consumables for the complete machine; a motor feature does not remove package maintenance.

Two oil-free routes · Different mechanisms and system choices

GPM2 and XA solve different demand and maintenance questions

GPM2: select the two-stage screw duty

The page describes direct drive, permanent-magnet motors and adjustable first- and second-stage speeds. Oil-cooled motors and an oil-free compression air path refer to different parts of the machine.

XA: select capacity and storage at the required pressure

The airend uses fixed and orbiting scrolls without oil for compression cooling/lubrication. Larger packages start the modules needed for demand; establish the remaining capacity during one module's service.

Turn the factory test and installation into an agreed handover

Original manufacturer company-tour view. Request the actual selected machine's pre-delivery test record and conditions.

SCR describes pre-delivery performance testing. Make the order-specific test traceable to the model and serial number, then agree the useful air quality and delivery at the buyer's system boundary.

  1. Selection: duty pressure, flow/reference, normal/peak demand and required air quality; APM load band or GPM2/XA configuration.
  2. Package: driver/control, treatment, receiver, electrical supply, cooling/ventilation and general-arrangement/service drawings.
  3. Acceptance: model-specific performance conditions, package input, treatment dew point and applicable certificate/destination documents.
  4. Operation: sequencing, commissioning responsibility, exceptional site configuration, consumables and model-specific service/parts plan.

Questions to settle before comparing SCR offers

Does the ANEST IWATA relationship mean the whole machine is Japan-made?

The current group network identifies SCR as a Shanghai manufacturer. XA uses ANEST IWATA scroll airends, but that component relationship does not establish whole-package origin. Ask for the offered machine's actual manufacturing and test location.

Can an APM 8 bar maximum be used for a 10 bar enquiry?

The variants have different flow bands. SCR30APM-8 lists up to 3.40 m³/min at 8 bar; its -10 variant lists up to 3.00 at 10 bar. Choose the pressure-matched row and request input throughout the actual load profile.

Does an oil-cooled motor contradict GPM2 oil-free compression?

Motor cooling and the compression air path are different systems. Confirm the offered airend arrangement and air-quality test scope; drying and distribution quality remain separate selection requirements.

Does a multi-module XA package guarantee full flow during maintenance?

Determine useful delivery at the required pressure with one module unavailable. Agree the module count, sequencing, storage and service access; modular construction alone does not state the required remaining capacity.

Does every XA model include a receiver and dryer?

The reviewed table lists 50 L for SCR5XA and 230 L for SCR10XA, but no receiver for the larger entries. Dryer and storage scope should be named in the actual offer rather than assumed from a family image.

Compressor for a textile factory Jet looms and spinning do not share a pressure. Write the machine OEM’s bar(g) and the hall FAD, then 50 Hz voltage for most Asian mills.
Oil-free screw compressor manufacturers in China Oil-free screw is a different factory from oil-injected screw. Dry airends and water-lubricated airends are also different quotes. Name the architecture.
