Nantong firm sets new standard for air compressor industry
Elang Smart Technology (Nantong) Co Ltd, located in the Nantong National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, recently contributed as the lead drafter in the development of the general-purpose variable frequency single-screw air compressor industry standard, which has been approved by experts and publicly released globally for the first time.
The standard was jointly drafted by eight leading domestic manufacturers of single-screw air compressors, with input from 35 research institutes and enterprises. It applies to general-purpose fixed and variable frequency single-screw air compressors with power ranging from 7.5 to 355 kW and pressure from 0.3 to 4.0 MPa, including mobile variable frequency versions of these compressors.
Zheng Xiaorong, executive vice-president of Elang Smart Technology (Nantong), explained that until now, there had been no established standards for general-purpose variable frequency single-screw air compressors, either in China or globally. This new group standard fills a significant gap in the compressor industry, particularly for products in the variable frequency single-screw air compressor category.
Elang Smart Technology specializes in high-end equipment manufacturing, focusing on energy-efficient products. The first phase of the company's production project officially began on Oct 27, 2023, and includes a range of products such as screw compressors, permanent magnet variable frequency compressors, and bipolar compression compressors, all of which have received top-level energy efficiency certifications.
"We have a dedicated R&D team of about 20, which includes several senior engineers and professors. We invest more than 5 percent of our annual revenue in R&D, which is one of the main reasons we were able to lead the drafting of this standard," Zheng said.
Currently, the second phase of the Elang project in the NHIZ is under construction. Once operational, it is expected to boost the company's overall annual output capacity to over 1 billion yuan ($136.40 million).
