Largo screw compressors provide high-quality air for wide range of industrial applications. Largo and Allegro compressors are built around three features which make the, stand out: Superior efficiency; Intelligent control; Ultimate reliability and serviceability.
Up to 35% of energy consumption can be saved through a combination of advanced elements, compared to a fixed speed machine of the same size. This series is a brilliant choice for modern engineering and manufacturing facilities. Equipped with Aircontrol 5.1 controllers, the machine operates to its maximum efficiency when you have a full control of your compressed air system.
Designed and manufactured to help you achieve more in your daily operation. Reliable, efficient and easy to operate, the compressor will ensure trouble-free operation while keeping the operating costs at a minimum.
Did you know that energy costs represent about 70% of the total operating cost of your compressor over a 5-year period? That’s why reducing the energy consumption of your compressed air installation should be a major focus. For the right application, variable speed technology, such as on the Allegro variable frequency drive compressor, can cut the energy bill of your compressor by up to 35%.
The Allegro reduces energy consumption in the following ways: The variable frequency drive compressor matches air supply with demand therefore reducing energy consumption when the demand is lower. If the demand is stable then the Air Control 5.1 guarantees a fixed set pressure, No unload cycles above 20% load, No peak current due to soft start.
Allegro air compressors are built around three features which make the, stand out: Superior efficiency; Intelligent control; Ultimate reliability and serviceability.

When it comes to laser cutting and other industrial processes, the choice of assist gas is crucial in achieving optimal results. Nitrogen and oxygen are commonly utilized as assist gases, each with its own unique properties and applications. Understanding the characteristics of both gases, will help you to make an informed decision to ensure precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in your operations.

Your company purchased an air dryer for your compressor, now where should you install it? One of the most common things we see in the industry are air dryers being stored on top of the compressors. Seems like a wasted space not being used on top of the compressor, right? Wrong.

We Kiwi's love our Coffee! Coffee, like all other food & beverage products, must go through a preservation process to keep the beans fresh during storage and packaging before they reach the consumer. Coffee that is not properly stored after it is roasted will lose a large amount of carbon dioxide, which lessens its' flavor and speeds up the staling process. One of the most common ways to preserve the freshness of coffee is the use of nitrogen gas. Learn more here:

Air compressors create the energy used by pneumatic tools and processes throughout your compressed air system. The component that connects everything together is the piping. It is very important to choose the right compressed air pipe to avoid pressure loss, rust and other problems.

We get it, buying an air compressor is a big financial decision. And now we are suggesting that you need two air compressors, not just one. Ask yourself one question- Can your business still run if your air compressor goes down?

It’s no secret – air compressors are excellent sources of energy. Not only do they power essential manufacturing elements and applications, but the heat generated as a result of the compressed air processes can be used as a byproduct that offsets other energy costs. However, there’s another form of energy that is also a consequence of the air compression process – sound.

The emergency stop, "e-stop", is for true emergency situations only. When hitting the e-stop, all power is halted from the machine
and the unload process isn't achieved. The emergency stop button is intended to help with possibly hazardous situations that are developing.
Common conditions of having to use the e-stop is the misuse of the equipment in ways that weren’t intended, predictable failures not
addressed or failing to consider all the foreseeable uses of the compressor.
