ROTAIR Boasts Road Transportability with Lightweight MDVN52 Eco5 Portable Air Compressors

At under 750 kg and delivering airflow up to 5200 l/min at 7bar, the MDVN52 Eco5 offers high power and is easy to transport even with a B category driving licence.

Caraglio, Italy - October XX, 2024: ROTAIR SPA, a company specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of high technology portable air compressors, multi-functional dumpers and hydraulic breakers for more than 60 years and a brand of ELGi Equipments Limited, responds to market demand with the MDVN52 Eco5, portable air compressor delivering improved performance, increased efficiency and lower weight compared to other models.

The MDVN52 Eco5 was created to offer strong airflow capability in a compact package to handle tougher jobs and complete tasks faster (5200lpm at 7bar and up to 3100lpm at 14bar). The compressor features a 42kW Hatz Stage V diesel engine with a max speed of 2300 RPM. To ensure fuel savings, the pneumatic control system automatically adjusts engine revs based on the required air delivery. The MDVN52 Eco5 is capable of operating in extreme weather conditions, ranging from -10°C to +55°C, and can deliver compressed air temperature ranging from ambient +8°C (with optional onboard aftercooler) to ambient +40°C standard.

Offering the optimum dimension-to-power ratio, the ROTAIR MDVN52 Eco5 is lightweight and compact. Its electro-galvanized bodywork and chassis with advanced painting procedure ensure long-term durability. The oversized separator filter provides efficient air/oil separation, resulting in a low ppm, while a single-stage oversized air filter allows effective air intake filtration. The combined radiator facilitates cooling for both the compressor oil and the engine liquid. An "intelligent system" start/stop feature prevents the risk of incorrect operation during specific functions.

Additionally, the MDVN52 Eco5 compressors can come with options, such as:

  • Line lubricator that provides automatic lubrication to air-operated pneumatic tools to prevent rust and corrosion and steer the tools to have a smoother more effective operation, and prolongs lifespan.
  • Control with clogging sensor for engine air filter to avoid bad air supply and deliver maximum efficiency of the diesel engine and correct pressure of the supplied compressed air.

“ROTAIR's designs prioritise environmental sustainability and meet international standards for quality and processes. All our products emphasise extreme manoeuvrability, efficient performance and ease of maintenance with a reduced footprint. MDVN52 Eco5 is a bright example of a technological solution that harnesses energy for optimal efficiency. The unit fulfils a "standard" that has become widely expected, especially in the rental market" - said Giuseppe Donadio, managing director of ROTAIR S.p.A.

The MDVN52 Eco 5 opens up the use of compressors of this size to a broader audience and can contribute to a higher utilization rate, which is a key performance indicator in rentals, since a B license is sufficient for towing a trailer with a mass of up to 750 kg.

ROTAIR’s MDVN series compressors have been recognized by international experts. In 2023, MDVN34E and MDVN32B were awarded the "Innovation Award" by SaMoTer for their operational flexibility, sustainable electrification, and ability to solve real construction site problems.
