ASK – More powerful, more efficient
Today’s users expect maximum availability and efficiency from their compressors, regardless of size.
ASK series rotary screw compressors meet all of these needs and more. Not only do they deliver more
compressed air for less power consumption, but they also combine ease of use and maintenance with
exceptional versatility and environmentally responsible design.
