Details & Features
The GIB-SP series from BAUER KOMPRESSOREN combines a screw compressor and high-pressure booster in a compact system for maximum free air delivery and extreme loads in continuous operation. Thanks to multi-stage compression and targeted water cooling, compression and operating temperatures remain low, extending the service life of the system and minimising maintenance requirements. The water-cooled design enables reliable operation even under the most difficult environmental conditions, while the standard equipment with soft start and B-CONTROL III ensures maximum efficiency and ease of use. GIB-SP compressors are particularly suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications.
B-CONTROL III
The B-CONTROL III is the premium control system for complex applications. Its 7-inch touchscreen display provides a user-friendly visualization of all operating data. Features such as a data logger, USB interface, Remote HMI, and protocols including OPC UA, Modbus, and CAN bus are integrated. The control system supports up to four compressors in a network and can be expanded flexibly.
System design
The BAUER GIB SP series is a compact, integrated unit combining a screw compressor and a high-pressure booster. Both modules are driven by a single motor. Unlike conventional systems with separate components, this integrated solution requires only one control system and one motor. With three or five compressor stages and efficient water cooling, it ensures low compression and operating temperatures – all within a minimal footprint.
Compressor block
The BK 23 to BK 52 block series feature a specially engineered crankcase design that ensures even distribution of internal gas forces. Precision manufacturing with tight tolerances and minimal clearance delivers outstanding energy efficiency. Plasma-nitrided cylinders, chrome-plated piston rings, and finely honed surfaces minimize friction and contribute to extended service life. The integrated oil pan, flanged beneath the crankcase, reduces oil consumption and enables installation at angles of up to 30° in any direction.
Options
Monitoring of intermediate pressures and intermediate stage temperatures
This monitoring system is ideal for continuous or fully automatic operation, as well as for systems without constant specialist supervision. If defined limit values are exceeded or undershot, an automatic shutdown is triggered. The current actual values are displayed in the B-CONTROL compressor control system.
Intermediate pressure gauge
Analog pressure gauges are installed at appropriate points of the compressor system and allow for easy monitoring of operating pressures. They support diagnostics and simplify maintenance work on the system.
Vorschmierpumpe
Nach längeren Stillstandszeiten erfolgt die automatische Vorschmierung der Gleitlager. Die Ansteuerung dieser Funktion übernimmt die B-CONTROL Steuerung.
Condensate collection system 60 l
The large condensate collection system centrally collects the condensate generated during compression. An integrated float switch reliably monitors the fill level. The silencer and filter unit reduce noise and prevent unpleasant odors in the working environment.
Plate heat exchanger set
The plate heat exchanger enables the creation of a separate, closed cooling water circuit for the compressor. This is especially important in open cooling systems that use river water, seawater, or open cooling towers. By isolating the compressor from the primary cooling source, the system ensures a consistently high and reliable cooling water quality for compressor operation.
Heat exchanger set
The set includes an air-water heat exchanger that allows water-cooled compressor units to operate independently of an on-site water supply.

What is the GIB26-SP series used for?
The GIB26-SP series is designed for industrial high-pressure compression of air and helium when large volumes of gas must be reliably compressed to high pressure and supplied in continuous operation. Typical applications include the oil and gas industry, pipeline testing, nitrogen supply systems, wind tunnel applications, hydropower plants, gas filling facilities, and industrial presses, for example in laminated panel or engineered wood production.
What is the technical concept of the GIB-SP series?
The GIB-SP series combines a high-performance screw compressor with a high-pressure booster in one compact system. The screw compressor generates the required pre-compression pressure, while the downstream high-pressure block compresses the gas to the desired final pressure. Both compression stages are driven by a single shared motor, resulting in a particularly compact and energy-efficient system configuration.
What pressure ranges does the GIB26-SP series cover?
The high-pressure compressors of the GIB-SP series achieve final pressures from approximately 100 to 520 bar, depending on the configuration and operating conditions.
What flow rates does the GIB26-SP series provide?
The GIB26-SP series delivers flow rates of approximately 10,400 to 15,000 liters per minute. This makes the system particularly suitable for industrial applications with high gas demand and high throughput requirements.
Which gases can be compressed with the GIB26-SP series?
The GIB-SP series is specifically designed for the compression of air and helium and is optimized for industrial applications with high pressure and high performance requirements
How are the GIB26-SP compressors controlled and monitored?
The compressors in the GIB26-SP series are equipped with the B-CONTROL III control system. It reliably manages and monitors all relevant operating parameters. Thanks to numerous interfaces, the system can be easily integrated into existing plant control systems and industrial automation environments. Operating states, messages, and alarms are clearly displayed, supporting safe, efficient, and reliable plant operation.
What are the advantages of water cooling in the GIB26-SP compared to air-cooled compressors?
Water cooling enables targeted and efficient heat removal directly from the compressor block as well as from intercoolers and aftercoolers. This reduces thermal stress on components, resulting in lower mechanical wear, longer service life, and increased operational reliability. In addition, only minimal room ventilation is required to dissipate motor and residual heat.
How maintenance-friendly is the GIB26-SP series?
The robust design, efficient cooling concept, and integrated screw-compressor-booster configuration reduce maintenance effort and downtime. At the same time, the system supports long service intervals and high plant availability, even in demanding industrial environments.
