About Sauer Compressors

Ocean-going shipping has stringent quality and reliability requirements. Sauer Compressors has been fulfilling them for more than 135 years.

According to Sauer, its starting- and working-air compressors are among the most modern and economic compressors available, with proven reliability under demanding operational conditions.

Starting air and working air

Sauer supplies air-cooled starting-air compressors and air-cooled working-air compressors for commercial vessels. Sauer highlights lower operating temperatures and reduced installation and maintenance costs as the main benefits.

3-stage air-cooled starting-air compressors

Air-cooled compressors used to be limited to 80 m³/h due to compression temperatures of over 250 °C. Three compression stages reduce temperatures to under 170 °C and make effective air cooling possible.

Sauer describes its 3-stage air-cooled compressors as the standard product in commercial shipping.

2-stage starting-air compressors

Available as air-cooled Mistral or water-cooled Typhoon compressors. Sauer delivers well over a thousand 2-stage starting-air compressors to customers worldwide every year.

  • Robust machines built on decades of experience
  • Lightweight and compact, with little installation space required
  • Rated by Sauer for ambient temperatures up to 60 °C
  • Suitable for harsh ambient conditions

Service and Sauer Easy Care

Even dependable compressors need parts replaced at some stage. Sauer Service packages are designed to give fast assistance in getting a system running again. Sauer Easy Care is Sauer's preventive maintenance concept, built around all-inclusive kits at fixed running-hour intervals.
