Industrial diaphragm compressor for high-purity applications

Experience reliable and contamination-free gas compression with minimal wear, ensuring optimal handling of explosive, toxic, and expensive gases while maintaining high-purity standards across your production line.

The NEA|HOFER MKZ Diaphragm Compressor from Neuman & Esser offers reliable, oil-free compression for high-purity and sensitive gas applications. Utilizing a leakage-free diaphragm design, it excels in compressing hydrogen, helium, and other specialty gases in industries such as renewable energy and fine chemicals. The compressor supports continuous and automatic operations, offering discharge pressures up to 43,511 psi (3,000 bar) with stage pressure ratios up to 7. It integrates smoothly into existing systems with options for base frame mounting and includes pulsation dampers, coolers, and operational controls. Its hermetically sealed system eliminates technical abrasion, extending service life and ensuring safety in handling explosive and toxic gases. The equipment adheres to major compliance standards, including the European Machinery Directive and explosion-proof certifications. Each unit is factory-tested for performance, providing documentation of operational data. Optional customization and engineering support are available to meet diverse industrial requirements.
