The Maximator high-pressure boosters are suitable for the oil free compression of gases and air.
Air driven boosters are an efficient alternative instead of electrically driven products and can be used in explosion-proof areas (according to 2014/34/EU).
Application & Implementation
As a result of the wide range of models it is possible to select the optimum booster for each application. Single stage, double acting or two stage boosters or a combination of these models can be used to achieve different operating pressures and flow capacities.

Functional description
The Maximator boosters’ operating principle is similar to a pressure intensifier. A large air piston is charged with low pressure (air piston (3)) and works on a small area with high pressure (hp piston (2)). The continuous operation is achieved by a pilot operated 4/2 way valve (spool (4)). The spool leads the drive air alternately on the upper and bottom surface of the air piston.
The spool is piloted through two 2/2 way valves (pilot valves (7)) which are mechanically actuated through the air piston in its end positions. The pilot valves charge and discharge the spool chamber. The hp piston supported by the check valves (inlet check valve and outlet check valve (1)) delivers the flow.
