Rotair launches a new range of compact electric and hybrid compressors and new product lines for light dem-olition and site handling


Rotair, a company based in Caraglio (CN), has announced the international launch of its compact portable air compressors: the Mdvn34E and the Mdvn32B. Rotair is an Italian industrial reality specialized not only in the design, production and distribution of high-tech portable air compressors, but also multifunctional dump trucks and hydraulic breakers under the ELGi Equipments Limited brand for over 60 years. The two Mdvn34E and Mdvn32B compressors are already highly appreciated by operators for their flexibility, sustainable electrification and the ability to intervene quickly and flexibly within the site, thanks to a dual power supply which makes them adaptable to different operational needs.


A sort of hybrid


The design basis is a structure with both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine able to develop compressed air. The system is designed to contain a generator giving the very important advantage of remaining within the strict european regulations on emission. Rotair's compact portable compressors also have european road approval which allows them to be towed and used throughout the European Union.


Mdvn34E: connectable to the main electrical supply


In the Mdvn34E model, the unit was created to offer construction sites 3,400 litres/min compressed air, without the use of internal combustion engines, to work in those municipalities and sites where diesel engines are limited in use. Its design allows to be connected to the building site's electrical main supply network and allows the air flow to be modulated according to the user's request.


Mdvn32B: the portable one


On the same chassis and bodywork, Rotair also offers a variant of the 40 HP gasoline engine able of delivering 3,200 litres/min at a constant of 7 bar, within the Stage V emission parameters. Performance remains the same or even better than Stage V diesel engines with considerable savings on the purchase price and on the management of the compressor itself.


“Rotair has always been proud of designing and producing innovative solutions that meet the current and future needs of its customers. Our new portable electric compressor, Mdvn34E, is leading this evolution towards cleaner, more convenient energy for optimal performance and reliability,” said Giuseppe Donadio, chief executive officer of Rotair. “This approach apply also to the Mdvn32B portable fuel compressor, which remains well below Stage V emission benchmarks.”


A 2023 full of news


Rotair products also cover the demolition sector, with a range of light hydraulic hammers. Among these is the new OL95ST for 2023, featuring a completely redesigned and engineered design with reduction both in production costs and in the final price for the customer. Furthermore, ROTAIR will expand in 2023 its product range with two new products: the VRK Fibra Plus compressor, designed for the laying of last mile fiber optic cables and the Rampicar dump trucks (in the R70 and R100 variants) equipped with completely hydrostatic transmissions to facilitate easy handling for the most demanding work requirements in renovation sites and civil engineering works.
