Anest Iwata SLW-150

Anest Iwata SLW-150 is a 20 HP (15 kW) oil-free industrial scroll compressor producing roughly 60 ACFM at 100 PSI from a multi-element multiplex of four scroll elements that load and unload individually with demand. Anest Iwata is a Japanese manufacturer focused on oil-free and high-purity air technologies and is one of three major suppliers (with Atlas Copco and Hitachi) of multi-element scroll plant-air systems. The SLW family extends the SLE single-scroll dental/lab range upward into industrial mid-flow applications by combining multiple scroll elements, providing both inherent redundancy and excellent part-load efficiency. The package is ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certified, includes integrated aftercooler and electronic auto-drain, and is normally specified with an integrated refrigerated or desiccant dryer for clinical or pharmaceutical use. Sound is approximately 65 dBA. Best fit is a multi-chair dental hospital, mid-size pharma lab, electronics assembly cell, or any installation requiring around 60 SCFM of certified oil-free air with redundancy.
