Screw Compressor A screw compressor is a rotary, positive-displacement machine that compresses gas by trapping it between two intermeshing helical rotors and reducing the volume of the trapped gas as it moves along the rotors' length. The design ensures smooth, continuous compression with minimal pulsation, making it suitable for industrial applications requiring a steady supply of compressed air or gas. There are two main types: oil-injected and oil-free. In oil-injected screw compressors, lubr
