Sauer Compressors for the Navy are developed on the basis of the philosophy that for the maritime market and especially for the navy market special demands exist. This is the reason that maritime or navy users require different solutions compared to industrial applications.
As a result Sauer Navy compressors were developed especially for use on submarines and naval combat ships.
This development was based upon established expertise in the production of navy compressors as well as long experience in the production of commercial compressors.

The main requirements of development are:
- small space requirements,
- light weight,
- reduction of noise and vibration,
- high shock resistance,
- high reliability,
- long maintenance intervals,
- easy service.

Sauer Compressors for the Navy are the answer to
these requirements as they incorporate all special
features which are vital for naval applications.
Constant innovation, such as the development of
the WP 5000 range with 100% balanced free inertial
forces, ensures the technical leadership necessary
for future naval applications.

Used by more than 50 navies worldwide:
J.P. Sauer & Sohn Maschienbau GmbH (formerly Poppe Compressors) have been building special compressors for Navies for over 50 years.
Starting as supplier to the German Navy, Sauer quickly gained a world-wide reputation as a reliable manufacturer of navy compressors. Today more than 50 Navies rely on Sauer compressors.
