  • Details & Features

    Uncompromising performance, quiet operation, and modular expandability: The stationary high-pressure compressors of the VERTICUS series are designed for demanding continuous-duty applications. Featuring energy-efficient automatic condensate drain (B-DRAIN), smart control system (B-CONTROL MICRO), and optimized ergonomics, they set new standards for safety, operating convenience, and durability.

    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.

    P 61 filter system

    The P 61 filter system with 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 guarantees high operational safety. The processable air volume is 2,400 m³.
     
    ¹ Applies with proper maintenance, installation according to the operating manual, and use of the BAUER B-AEROGUARD if the CO₂ concentration exceeds the standard limits.

    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.

    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.

    Motor rocker with belt tensioner

    Thanks to the integrated motor rocker with belt tensioner, no retightening of the V-belt is required anymore.

    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.

    P 81 filter system

    The P 81 filter system with oil and water separator as well as pressure-retaining check valve enables reliable breathing air purification in accordance with DIN EN 12021:2014¹ when using original BAUER filter cartridges. A sealed safety valve ensures high operational safety. The processable air volume is 5,200 m³.
     
    ¹ Applies when properly maintained and with the use of the B-AEROGUARD in case of elevated CO₂ levels.

    Integrated gas measurement system B-DETECTION PLUS i

    The integrated B-DETECTION PLUS gas measurement system monitors breathing air and Nitrox in real time according to DIN EN 12021:2014. It measures CO, CO₂, O₂, humidity, and VOCs, and protects with automatic shutdown in case of limit exceedance. The CO ping test checks sensors before start. With B-CLOUD, digital documentation and remote access are possible. Optionally, contaminated air can be vented automatically outdoors.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Connection for external air inlet

    When filling breathing air cylinders, the quality of the compressed air depends on the quality of the ambient air being drawn in. Particularly when exhaust gases (CO) or ventilation from other equipment may enter the compressor room, pure fresh air must be drawn in from outside. For this purpose, a connection for an external air inlet is provided.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Filling device 4 × 200 bar / 4 × 300 bar

    The filling device consists of four flexible UNIMAM high-pressure filling hoses, each with a filling valve for 200 or 300 bar. An integrated final pressure gauge allows easy reading of the final pressure.

    Pressure reducer

    The optional pressure reducer allows simultaneous filling of 200 and 300 bar cylinders.

    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.

    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.

    Condensate collection system 60 l

    The large condensate collection system centrally collects condensate produced during compression. An integrated float switch reliably monitors the fill level. Silencer and filter unit reduce noise and prevent odors in the working environment.
