Ful-Vane compressors feature proven
sliding-vane technology backed by over
80 years of manufacturing know-how.
Ful-Vane gas compressors are unequalled
for efficiency, smooth operation and long
life, even under the harshest conditions.
Simplicity is engineered into every
Ful-Vane gas compressor. All parts are
easily accessible and readily available from
a number of parts warehouses, making
on-site service a reality. In addition,
authorized service centers are strategically
located to address more complex service
needs.
• Specializing in sour
gas applications

casting allows for
up to five rebores
Double lip bearing seals on
vacuum pumps - available for
compressors
A liberal exchange program allows you to
upgrade your equipment as you see fit.
• Cylinder can be re-bored numerous times,
depending on condition
• Rather than being replaced, rotor can be
re-slotted to accept wider blades
• Optional double-shaft design for greater
versatility on multi-compressor systems
• Compressor efficiency does not degrade
over time
Double ball check valves on all new
and reconditioned compressors
Oil quills included where needed
for better lube injection
Mechanical seal with single
spring and large seal face
Protective coating on
inlet and discharge ports
Fixed bearing design on all
compressors - jackshafts
not needed
