3 min read
Schulz Compressores continues evolving in manufacturing an unprecedented product for the domestic and foreign markets: the compressor Audaz (MCSV 20). This is the first compressor of 5 hp, with direct coupling, making it a revolutionary product with innovating features.
The excellent performance of the new compressor is directly related to the exclusive technology IC-Tech®, developed by Schulz, which allows quick integrated connection between stages of high efficiency.
With transmission by direct coupling, Audaz does not have a belt, handwheel, coil or pulley. It is an innovation for reducing power consumption by 20%, compared with the conventional models. All the saving generated by the product allows the return over investment to the end user to occur in up to 30 months.
The technology also improved the air cooling system by forced flow, ensuring the functioning of the compressor with lower temperatures, which reduces the wear of the components and extends the useful life of the equipment.
The smart construction system of the new compressor offers even further advantages. Besides efficiency, Audaz has the lowest maintenance cost in the category. This is because it is not necessary to change the belt or coil. The lubricating oil MS LUB SCHULZ, specifically for piston air compressors, has durability of up to 300 hours between changes.
Safety is a differential of Audaz. As the transmission is by direct coupling, there are no exposed rotating parts. The air tank is produced as per Administrative Rulings Inmetro (248 and 255, of May 2014), besides following the resolutions of Regulatory Standard (NR) – 13.
Developed internally by engineers, masters and doctors, Audaz is the most important launching of Schulz Compressores in the last ten years. “We invested 2.5 million dollars in two years, projecting 35% growth in sales for the power of 5 hp. Audaz shall attain absolute leadership in the segment, with more than 60% of share”, estimates Ovandi Rosenstock, CEO of Schulz S.A.
The product is indicated for professional and industrial use, being used in automotive repair workshops, toolrooms, joineries, metalwork, paint shops, service stations and industry in general. The new compressor is already on sale in the main specialized resales of machines and equipment, besides home centers and magazines.

High productivity and a cost-effective solution for your industry with Schulz’s High-Pressure Line
The Schulz High-Pressure Line offers a complete solution for industries that use fiber laser cutting machines in the production process.
Including rotary-screw compressors and air treatment systems, it is the only product line in the Brazilian market designed for applications with pressures of up to 20 bar.
The SRP 4000 Flex High-Pressure Rotary-Screw Compressors are available in power ratings ranging from 15 to 60 hp, offering both direct drive (AD) and direct drive with integrated dryer (ADS) options.
For air treatment, the portfolio includes air dryers, condensate separators and filters. In other words: the line completely covers the generation, treatment, and storage of high-pressure compressed air.
Benefits for industries using compressed air in the fiber laser cutting process
The primary advantage of employing compressed air in fiber laser cutting processes lies in its role as an auxiliary gas, replacing noble gases (like oxygen and nitrogen) during the cutting process. This results in a significant reduction in production costs, while simultaneously promoting a sustainable and renewable gas solution.
Therefore, the biggest benefit of Schulz’s High-Pressure Line is the reduction in operating costs. After all, with the line’s compressors, your industry reduces costs and increases productivity, achieving savings of up to 70%.
