Boge SLF40-3 Rotary Screw Electric Compressor (Used)

Introduction

The Boge SLF40-3 compressor , with inverter regulation, is a highly efficient machine designed for industrial applications. Thanks to its power of 30 kW (40 HP) and 1:1 direct transmission, it offers optimal performance at a low rotation speed of just 1400 rpm . The machine is used but in excellent condition, ensuring a great option for those looking for quality at a lower price than new.

Components and Mechanical Characteristics

The compressor is made up of the following main components:

• 30 kW three-phase electric motor
• Rotary screw compressor unit with inverter regulation
• Boge Focus 2.0 control system
• Integrated antifrost system , to prevent freezing
• Integrated ventilation for cooling and maintaining the optimal temperature
• Air filter to maintain the quality of the compressed air
• Air tank not included, but compatible with standard tanks.

Measurements and Technical Specifications

• Air flow : from 1300 lt/min up to 5500 lt/min , variable thanks to the inverter.
• Operating pressure : Configurable for various industry standard pressures.
• Rated power : 30 kW (40 HP).
• Rotation speed : 1400 RPM , low to reduce wear and noise.
• Weight : approximately 1500 kg .
• Dimensions : 1600 mm x 1000 mm x 1700 mm (indicative for variants with tank).

Usage

The Boge SLF40-3 stands out for its ease of use and management, thanks to the Boge Focus 2.0 controller , which allows you to monitor the compressor's performance in real time. The inverter control allows you to automatically adjust the compressor speed based on needs, significantly reducing energy consumption.

Usage Procedure

1. Switching on : switch on via the control panel and set the desired parameters.
2. Flow rate adjustment : The compressor speed automatically adjusts to maintain optimal air flow.
3. Automatic maintenance : the management system warns if maintenance interventions are needed, reducing the risk of breakdowns.

Sectors of Use

The Boge SLF40-3 is ideal for:

• Manufacturing sector : for the operation of pneumatic machinery.
• Automotive : in painting and assembling parts.
• Food industry : for packaging and management of production lines.
• Pharmaceutical : for processes requiring clean, moisture-free compressed air.

Formulas for Optimal Use

The key formula to calculate the power needed based on the flow rate and air pressure is:

$P$

Where:

• PP $P$ is the power required (in Watts),
• QQ $Q$ is the air flow (in m³/s),
• ΔP\Delta P $\Delta P$ $is$ the pressure difference (in Pascals),
• η\eta $\eta$ is the compression efficiency.

Maintenance

• Replacement of the air filter : every 1000 hours of use.
• Checking the cooling system : to avoid overheating.
• Check the motor components and inverter system every 3000 hours to prevent wear.

How to Evaluate a Good Used Car

When considering the purchase of a used Boge SLF40-3, you must:

• Check working hours : machines with less than 10,000 hours are preferable.
• Check the status of the inverter system : check that it is working correctly, as it is essential for the efficiency of the compressor.
• Check the condition of the screw : excessive wear may indicate the need to replace expensive components.

Advantages of Buying Used

• Savings : a used compressor can cost up to 40-60% less than a new one.
• Immediate availability : Compared to a new one, which may take weeks or months to be delivered.
• Guaranteed quality : the Boge compressor is known for its robustness, and a used model, if well maintained, can still guarantee years of service.

The Boge SLF40-3 is therefore an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable, efficient and economical compressor
