Compressors

Screw compressor and expander profiles

Our rotor software is designed to help you easily create efficient rotor profiles for screw compressors and expanders.

Optimized Rotor Profiles for Efficient Screw Compressors

High efficiency in screw compressors and expanders starts with a precise rotor design. By carefully shaping the rotor, we reduce unwanted leakage, both between the rotors and through the “blow hole,” which is the gap where leakage can occur between the rotor and its housing. At the same time, it’s important to maximize displacement to ensure high flow rates through the compressor.

A design that performs well must also be practical to manufacture. Sharp corners and steep angles can create problems during production and raise costs. Our approach finds the right balance between performance and manufacture.

Advanced Tools for Compressor Profiling

Designing a profile that meets all these demands is difficult. Optimizing for one factor often compromises another. That’s where Rotor Design Solutions comes in. Our team have decades of experience in both rotor design and manufacturing so we can offer design solutions that deliver the best possible combination of performance and production.

To support our clients, we provide both standard and customized software solutions for profile generation. Whether clients are looking for complete design support or targeted assistance, we offer services tailored to their in‑house expertise and project scope.

Profiles can be supplied as individual items or as bespoke software solutions capable of generating rotor profiles and tooling across a wide range of sizes and operating speeds. We’re able to assist at any stage of the design process—from concept development through CFD analysis to full manufacturing support.
