For use in professional applications: High charging rate in continuous operation

Now significantly quieter: thanks to the new anti-vibration frame and noise-optimised Super Silent housing

B-DRAIN: The new automatic condensate drain is quieter and saves energy

Fully automatic compressor control: B-CONTROL MICRO with colour display

Optional oil level monitoring system: For safely switching off the compressor unit when the oil level is low.

The VERTICUS series has been developed and built specifically to meet high performance requirements in continuous operation in professional applications.

The new VERTICUS combine the legendary BAUER compressor blocks with improved components and ultra-modern design! During the redesign, the focus was on ergonomics, making operation as easy as possible, reducing noise and boosting efficiency.
All control elements that are important for everyday operation are ergonomically arranged and easily accessible from the front. A new condensate vessel integrated into the housing with 40 % more capacity. The compressor control monitors the fill level and informs the operator in good time if the condensate needs to be emptied.The advanced B-CONTROL MICRO is more powerful and ready to communicate with the B-APP for remotely controlling and monitoring the compressor.

The VERTICUS breathing air compressors are available in versions for 225 and/or 330/350 bar as well as in a version for up to 420 bar. The high modularity of the VERTICUS series means that the units can easily be adapted to provide the best possible solution to your requirements and wishes.

Integrated gas measurement system B-DETECTION PLUS i
As an option, the B-DETECTION PLUS i gas measurement system can be integrated into the compressor. This permits the monitoring of all gases required by DIN EN 12021:2014. Thanks to the option for discharge to the outside in the event of short-term contamination and the shut-down of the compressor in the event of extended overruns of the limit values, observance of DIN EN 12021:2014 can be ensured at all times1.

1 Measurement of humidity and total oil value (VOC) as option. Total oil measurement based only on volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Sensor calibration based on isobutene.

Monitoring the intermediate pressures and intermediate stage temperatures
Monitoring the intermediate pressures and intermediate stage temperatures

Monitoring the intermediate pressures and intermediate stage temperatures
This monitoring system is recommended for continuous operation and fully automated operation, as well as for compressor units that do not receive regular attention from specialist personnel. Monitoring tracks the minimum value of stage 1 (intermediate pressure only) and the maximum value of all compressor stages. The compressor unit shuts off if the values monitored fall below or exceed the permissible limit values. The actual value is displayed by the B-CONTROL compressor control unit.

Oil level monitoring
Oil level monitoring

Oil level monitoring
Optional oil level monitoring system for safely switching off the compressor unit when the oil level is low.
If the oil level reaches the minimum mark, this is displayed on the control and the compressor is switched off automatically for safety reasons. This option is particularly recommended for compressor units in continuous operation.

Particulate filter
Particulate filter

Particulate filter
In combination with the P41, P61 or P81 purification systems, an optional integrated particulate filter is available for effective protection against fine dust and other solid particles. This permits the reliable removal of particles in accordance with ISO 8573 class 2.

Connection for external intake system
Connection for external intake system

Connection for external intake system
When filling breathing air cylinders, the quality of the compressed air is dependent on the quality of the ambient air intake. Clean fresh air must be taken in from an external source in particular if there is a risk of exhaust gases (CO) and exhaust air from other units. A connection for an external suction line has been provided for this purpose.

Intermediate pressure gauge kit

Intermediate pressure gauge kit
The intermediate pressure gauges show the operating pressure of the individual compressor stages. This information about the pressure is used to check the corresponding stage valves (inlet and outlet) for leaks so that potential faults can be detected quickly. The intermediate pressure gauges are installed inside the compressor housing.

AERO-GUARD
AERO-GUARD

AERO-GUARD
Using the AERO-GUARD reduces the CO2 content of the breathing air to approximately one-third of the intake value. The constantly increasing levels of CO2 concentration in the air resulting from unfavourable environmental influences are making it more and more difficult for the operators of filling stations to be sure of achieving compliance with legally binding maximum limits for CO2. With AERO-GUARD the operator is always on the safe side! Read more
