Sauer truck-mounted high-pressure

compressors up to 40 bar for deep
drilling systems.

Sauer piston compressors for pressures up to 350 bar are used in industry for controlling processes and
production methods which require high-pressure air or inert gases. Long years of experience confirm that
Sauer compressors are highly reliable and highly developed meeting even the most demanding applications.

One of our major concerns is a competent, comprehensive customer service. From the project phase to sales
through to after-sales, we are there for our customers with advice and specific solutions to ensure optimum
economics over the entire compressor life cycle.

As well as compressors, we supply high-quality accessories, engineering services and installation, for complete
system solutions and modules through to complete turnkey systems.
