    GRASSO vs SABROE



    Hi Guys,
    I have two GRASSO RC411 Compressors but they are not in so good condition and too old - they are 35 years old. I think to replace them now, but I wonder what is the better choice - GRASSO again or Sabroe. What do you think? What do you know from your experience - what is better to do?

    Thanks,
    Rgds

    Maybe I had to say that it is about changing the two piston GRASSOs with a screw Sabroe or Grasso

    Hi manev

    The Grasso RC411 is a 4 piston recip with a swept volume of approx 530 m3/h.

    Grasso / Sabroe - screw or recip now thers some choices. Depends if you are a Coke or Pepsi man.

    I have worked more so with Grasso products and their screw machines are very robust.

    What are the process conditions such as temperature, constant load or variable etc?

    Sturt.

    Hi rnanev.
    Have you seen many 35yr old screws?
    I know I haven't!
    I would replace with recips.
    They seem to handle the low load running better.
    Particularly with the low load conditions you are describing.

    Basically either Grasso or Sabroe are good machines.
    I have worked a lot on either brand
    And would struggle to choose between them.
    I suspect you know the grasso's better, because that's what you already have.
    If you wish to daisy chain their control. Then I prefer the unisab control system.
    But again like most of us that's because I know their system better.
    When all's said and done the choice is yours.

    Hi,
    I think if you specify all requirement of your compressor and compare them between sabroe and grasso you finally found answer.
    furthermore you should consider the price and money saving.
    if you want to use parallel system i advise you to chose sabroe.

    best regard

    with a good service is very good compressors.
    if you need replace select grasso RC12 series with more cilinders.

    I think compressor Sabore 100 model. hi speed at 1500 rpm and screw rotatune maximum speed at 6000 rpm.
    But Grasso rep. can not running at maximum such as Sabroe.
    Because Grasso be no oil cooling effect quickly lubricant deteriorate .

    The most reciprocating compressor is SABROE.
    The most screw compressor is FRICK.
