Details & Features
The MINI-VERTICUS series sets new standards in technology and ergonomics. Equipped with the latest B-CONTROL control system, the MINI-VERTICUS is quiet, efficient and particularly maintenance-friendly. The well thought-out arrangement of the operating elements guarantees intuitive operation from the front. The integrated condensate tank with increased capacity is automatically monitored and signals when it needs to be emptied. Its robust construction and optimised components make it the ideal solution for continuous use under high-pressure conditions up to 420 bar.
B-CONTROL MICRO compressor control system
The B-CONTROL MICRO is a modern, user-friendly compressor control system with a color display that intelligently manages and reliably monitors all basic functions. Interaction between the user and the control system is intuitive and straightforward, with information displayed in clear text. Various languages are available. External signal transmitters can be connected at any time, and operation in a networked system or with an external display is also possible.
Kompressorsteuerung B-CONTROL SMART
Die B-CONTROL SMART ist eine leistungsstarke Kompressorsteuerung mit erweitertem Funktionsumfang, viel Speicher und IoT-Konnektivität via B-CLOUD. Sie unterstützt den Verbundbetrieb und bietet hohe Performance für anspruchsvolle Anwendungen. Wahlweise mit 3,5" Farbdisplay oder 7" Touchscreen ermöglicht sie intuitive Bedienung und sicheren Fernzugriff – eine zukunftssichere Lösung.
System design
The compressor systems impress with their compact design, minimal space requirements, and high-operating comfort. All control elements are ergonomically arranged and easily accessible from the front. The compressors are directly cooled by ambient air, and the generated heat can be efficiently dissipated. The platform concept combines proven BAUER quality with modern design.
Compressor block
Our compressor blocks are based on decades of experience and development. An efficient air cooling system with large coolers and finned cylinders ensures optimal cooling. Robust industrial roller bearings, pressure lubrication, and fine oil filters minimize wear. Dynamically balanced drive units ensure smooth operation and long maintenance intervals.
B-DRAIN automatic condensate drain
The B-DRAIN condensate drain automatically discharges the water-oil mixture from the intermediate and final separators. Solenoid valves control the discharge individually and reliably. The gentle, controlled condensate release reduces pressure losses, saves energy, and increases efficiency. Compared to conventional solutions, B-DRAIN operates significantly more quietly.
Drive
Power transmission is carried out via a low-maintenance, self-tensioning V-belt drive. Thanks to the integrated motor rocker, re-tensioning is not required. The compressor systems are equipped as standard with energy-efficient IE3-class three-phase motors, ensuring reliable and economical operation.
B-LINK 4G
With an integrated WiFi or 4G router, compressor systems equipped with B-CONTROL MICRO can be wirelessly connected to the B-CLOUD. This enables stable remote access, reliable remote monitoring, and secure data transmission via WLAN or mobile networks. If required, the B-LINK 4G can be installed externally to optimize signal strength. It is designed for use in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Options
Super Silent version
The Super Silent enclosure significantly reduces the sound pressure level of the compressor system and enables the connection of an exhaust duct. Its effective sound insulation ensures quieter operation and can also be retrofitted if required.
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.
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.
Oil level monitoring
When the minimum oil level mark is reached, a warning message appears in the control system. This option is particularly recommended for continuous operation and increases the operational safety of the compressor system by providing early information about critical fill levels.
B-CLOUD & B-APP
With BAUER B-CLOUD and the B-APP, users can keep an eye on their compressor system at all times, even remotely. Operating data, maintenance instructions, and status messages are transmitted and visualized in real time. This increases transparency, simplifies monitoring, and supports optimized maintenance planning. In addition, the stored operating data in the B-CLOUD is available for later analysis and system performance optimization. If the condition of your compressor system changes, B-CLOUD or B-APP will notify you immediately – by email or via push notification straight to your smartphone.
B-LINK
Wi-Fi and 4G routers enable the wireless communication of the B-CONTROL MICRO with the B-CLOUD. They establish a reliable Wi-Fi or mobile network connection, allowing secure remote access to the compressor system.
Purification system
Depending on the system type, the compressors can be optionally equipped with the integrable P 61 or P 81 purification system. This allows pure air and gas qualities to be reliably achieved in accordance with ISO 8573-1.
Particle filter
An integrated particle filter is optionally available in combination with the P 41, P 61, and P 81 purification systems, ensuring consistently high purity levels.
B-SECURUS filter monitoring
The B-SECURUS system monitors the saturation of the filter cartridge(s) by measuring the moisture level in the molecular sieve and provides a timely indication when a cartridge replacement is required – either on the display or via the control unit. Once saturation is reached, the system automatically shuts down the unit. The B-SECURUS filter monitoring system can only be used in conjunction with the P 41, P 61, or P 81 filter systems, as well as the external BAUER filter systems.
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.
Intake device
The intake system supplies the compressor with air or gas at the appropriate monitored intake pressure. In the event of overpressure or underpressure, an automatic shutdown is triggered. The intake system consists of, among other components, a pipe filter, intake pressure sensor, pressure gauge, piping and connection, as well as an intake solenoid and safety valve.
First-stage separator
For operation in humid ambient air, such as in tropical regions or when handling moist gases, a separator is recommended after the first compression stage. It reliably discharges the increased amount of condensate and minimizes its entry into the compressor oil.
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.
Base frame
On the extended base frame, the compressor and up to two storage cylinders, each with a geometric volume of 50 or 80 liters, are mounted to form a turnkey system. This compact solution simplifies both installation and operation.
Subframe for ship loading
The additional auxiliary frame allows qualified personnel to load the compressor system onto a ship using a crane and designated lifting devices. The system can be operated permanently with the integrated frame.
Exhaust shaft
For installation in containers or operating rooms, two exhaust duct variants are available: without ventilation flaps for vertical discharge of cooling air, and with flaps for temperature-controlled exhaust air routing either into the room or to the outside. Both variants can only be connected to an exhaust air duct when used in conjunction with the Super Silent enclosure.
