A rotary screw compressor is a type of gas compressor that uses two interlocking helical screws to compress air or gas. As the screws turn, they trap air in a chamber and reduce its volume, increasing pressure. This design allows for continuous operation and efficient air delivery, making it popular in industrial applications. These compressors are known for their durability and low maintenance requirements. They typically operate quietly and can handle large volumes of air, making them suitable for various uses, including powering tools and equipment in manufacturing and construction settings.
