Motor rocker
The integration of a motor rocker means that the tension of the V-belt no longer has to be adjusted.
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.
Super Silent version
Super Silent housing reduces the noise level of the compressor unit and makes the unit compatible for operation in working environments where noise is a key concern. For units in the (MINI-) VERTICUS series, Super Silent sound insulation can be retrofitted on request.

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.
B-SECURUS filter monitoring
The B-SECURUS system monitors the saturation of the filter cartridge(s) by measuring the moisture in the molecular sieve. Read more
Monitoring the intermediate pressures
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 II compressor control unit.
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.
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.
First stage separator
The installation of a separator after the first compressor stage is recommended for units operating in conditions where the moisture content of the ambient air is high (in tropical regions and for the effective compression of gases with a high moisture content. Read more
Filling device 4 × 200 bar
The filling device consists of four flexible UNIMAM high-pressure filling hoses and one filling valve each for 200 bar. The integrated final pressure gauge makes it easy to read off the final pressure.

Exhaust shaft with ventilation damper control
The exhaust shaft with ventilation damper control provides the means via which the exhaust air is discharged into the surrounding room or outdoors under controlled conditions and dependent on temperature. A temperature sensor measures the temperature in the room and controls the position of the ventilation dampers for optimised operation (only possible in conjunction with a Super-Silent housing).
Paint finish/Special paint finish
All frame parts of BAUER compressors are finished with a sophisticated powder coating. Read more
Other voltages/frequencies
All electric motors are available with other voltages and frequencies on request.
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
External BAUER filling panels
Depending on requirements, filling panels are supplied with filling hoses or lever filling valves with 4, 6 or 10 filling valves. A stainless steel design can be provided as an option.
60 l condensate collection system
This convenient system provides a central collection point for the condensate (oil and water mixture) produced during the compression process inside the compressor. The condensate tank features an integrated float switch which can be relied upon to monitor the level of condensate in the tank and provides protection against overfilling. A combined silencer and filter unit prevents pollution caused by noise or odour.
