Base-mounted rotary screw air compressors, also known as screw compressors, utilize a rotary screw as a positive displacement mechanism. Larger screw compressors are generally all base mounted due to the weight and size of the compressor. A rotary compressor is commonly used for tight installations and replacing a failed screw compressor or piston compressor in industrial applications. Compressor World carries a complete line of industrial-sized rotary air compressors built to reliably handle the demands of your business.
