Details & Features
With its vertical design and compact footprint, the PE-MVE is perfectly suited for confined installation spaces. The standard Super Silent enclosure ensures extremely quiet operation. The BHW-CONTROL system allows for fully automatic operation and simplifies handling - ideal for filling storage cylinders as well. Two kink-resistant filling hoses are included as standard. The 420 bar version offers maximum flexibility and safety for applications requiring the highest pressure levels.
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.
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.
P 41 filter system
The P 41 filter system with additional oil and water separator as well as pressure-retaining non-return valve ensures reliable breathing air in accordance with DIN EN 12021:2014¹ when using original BAUER filter cartridges. A type-tested, sealed final pressure safety valve ensures high operational safety. The processable air volume is 1,550 m³.¹ Applies with proper maintenance, installation according to the operating manual, and when using the BAUER B-AEROGUARD if the CO₂ concentration exceeds the standard limits.
Compressor control
The electrical control with monitoring electronics shuts down the compressor at final pressure, records operating hours and oil pressure, displays the current status, and features phase sequence monitoring.
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.
Filling hose
The high-quality high-pressure filling hoses are made of food-grade, durable material and provide maximum flexibility during handling. The hose connections ensure quick, easy, and safe connection of the filling valve to the breathing air cylinder.
Motor rocker with belt tensioner
Thanks to the integrated motor rocker with belt tensioner, no retightening of the V-belt is required anymore.
Options
B-TIMER filter cartridge monitoring
The unique B-TIMER minicomputer displays the operating hours and the current filter cartridge saturation in real time. A prominent blinking signal indicates when a cartridge change is due – including the corresponding order number. This ensures the filter capacity can always be used optimally.
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.
Changeover device PN 300/200 bar
The PN 300/200 bar changeover device allows filling of cylinders with different operating pressures.
Fully automatic compressor control
The compressor control is also available as a fully automatic version. In this design, the compressor not only shuts down at final pressure but also restarts automatically when the pressure drops below a defined minimum – ideal for storage operation.
