Bergamo, Italy– Nearly 100 years after manufacturing its first compressor, SIAD Macchine Impianti (SIAD MI), a SIAD Group company, introduces its latest engineering innovation: a high-pressure, hydrogen compressor equipped with oil-free technology that delivers top performance and reliability. Designed specifically to meet the needs of the transportation and hydrogen refueling station sectors, and thanks to this initiative, SIAD Macchine Impianti becomes a leading player in the sustainable mobility supply chain, an area of particular priority for the company.
Sandeep Gadkary, Manager of the Compressors Division and Global
“This new product” – explains Sandeep Gadkary, Manager of the Compressors Division and Global Service at SIAD Macchine Impianti “is the testimony of a dedicated team that has worked on this for almost two years and who I thank together with all the other people involved in this important project. The compressor has been developed for use in the hydrogen filling stations for heavy vehicles that are gradually beginning to appear around the world. Just like traditional, gasoline fuel stations, Hydrogen stations will also be equipped with pumping systems, using compressors like ours. Its features have been designed specifically for this application: high pressure, oil-free, with a strong focus on safety, low maintenance cycles, and low energy consumption, an important factor in reducing operating costs. Our customers” – Gadkary continues and concludes – “can rely on us to provide solutions that keep downtime to a minimum, ensuring continuous, trouble-free production. We recognize that every customer has different needs, and we are able to adapt our solutions to meet those needs. Whether it is size, flow or special configurations, we work closely with our customers to ensure that they receive exactly what they require.”
