Lubricated Rotary Screw Compressors (45 - 55 kW)

We’re excited to present the completely redesigned ESM / VS Series — 45–55kW, available in both single and two-stage configurations, with fixed and variable speed options. These oil-lubricated rotary screw air compressors incorporate cutting-edge technology, purpose-built to deliver superior performance and energy efficiency across a broad range of industries.

Driven by passion and a positive spirit, the entire Gardner Denver team came together with a shared vision: to make a meaningful impact on the world around us. Not content with simply changing the rules — we’ve completely redefined them.

Compressors represent more than a monetary investment — they play a vital role in delivering consistent, high-quality, and cost-effective air to manufacturers, processors, and operators.

As the core of the compressor, the screw compression element is critical — which is why Gardner Denver designs and manufactures it in-house. Utilizing advanced CNC rotor grinding and integrated laser technology, they ensure exceptional reliability and performance. The result: consistently low operating costs throughout the compressor’s lifespan.

Premium-efficiency motors come standard — featuring Permanent Magnet (PM) IE5 motors for variable speed models and IE4-class motors for fixed speed variants. Thanks to Gardner Denver’s patented oil-cooled motor design, even minimal efficiency losses are recovered through integrated heat recovery, maximizing overall energy performance.

The high-resolution touchscreen is intuitive and easy to use. Its advanced control system, combined with integrated sensors, automatically adjusts the compressor to match real-time operating conditions—reducing energy consumption and safeguarding your equipment from condensate damage.

Built-in IoT capabilities include an onboard web server and Base Load Select, enabling seamless coordination with up to three secondary units. Both the main board and controller meet high CS Standard requirements for cybersecurity.

The system is Ecoplant-ready and features iConn integration for comprehensive monitoring and control.

Engineered and built in-house by Gardner Denver,

our comprehensive range of air treatment and downstream equipment is designed to maximize energy efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and reduce total cost of ownership.

We ensure a consistent supply of high-quality dry air—delivering the same exceptional standards of performance, reliability, and efficiency that define our air compressors.
