G series: MINI-VERTICUS & VERTICUS – The turnkey compressors for helium, argon, neon and other noble gases

BAUER VERTICUS Super-Silent, sound-insulated, helium compressor, side view

BAUER VERTICUS Super-Silent (sound-insulated) high-pressure compressor

BAUER MINI-VERTICUS Super-Silent (sound-insulated) medium-pressure compressor

Now significantly quieter: thanks to the new anti-vibration frame and noise-optimised Super Silent housing

Compact dimensions: For installation wherever space is at a premium

Ergonomic design: optimum accessibility and operation

B-DRAIN: The new automatic condensate drain is quieter and saves energy

Very easy to maintain: The tension of the V-belt does not have to be adjusted

The new generation of stationary compressors from the VERTICUS series once again demonstrates BAUER’s leading-edge technological status.

Optimised for helium and other noble gases, MINI-VERTICUS and VERTICUS are the gas-tight and helium-tight classics in the successful BAUER G-series.

The new MINI-VERTICUS and VERTICUS combine the legendary BAUER compressor blocks with improved components and ultra-modern design! During the redesign, the focus was on ergonomics, making operation as easy as possible, reducing noise and boosting efficiency.

All control elements that are important for everyday operation are ergonomically arranged and easily accessible from the front.

Recirculation of blowby and lost gas from the automatic condensate drain into the intake buffer combined with efficient encapsulation of the safety valves effectively minimises gas losses.

Low speeds and optimised grading of the compressors provide the basis for the very best compression ratios for the compression of noble gases.

B-CONTROL MICRO compressor control
The B-CONTROL MICRO is a modern, easy-to-use compressor control with colour display for the control and reliable monitoring of all basic functions. Read more

MINI-VERTICUS and VERTICUS – the concept
Powerful compressor systems featuring compact design, small footprint and outstanding ease and convenience of use. Read more

Vertical unit concept, G series with intake buffer and condensate collecting vessel on common base frame

Helium configuration
The G Series MINI-VERTICUS and VERTICUS are purpose-designed helium / gas compressors for industrial applications. They are especially modified for compression of helium and other rare gases. Read more

Compressor blocks
With their outstanding surface hardness, plasma-nitrided and plateau-honed cylinders are able to achieve extremely long service lives combined with low energy consumption and reliable oil lubrication of cylinder surfaces. Read more

B-DRAIN automatic condensate drain
The automatic condensate drain automatically removes the condensate that forms during compression (water/oil mixture) from the intermediate separators and the final separator and collects it in a condensate vessel. Read more

AIR COOLING
Compressors in the MINI-VERTICUS and VERTICUS series are cooled directly using ambient air. The heat they generate is discharged efficiently and effectively. Read more

Drive
A low-maintenance, self-tensioning V-belt drive is used for power transmission in the MINI-VERTICUS & VERTICUS series. The integration of a motor rocker means that the tension of the V-belt does not need to be adjusted. The compressor units are fitted ex works with energy-saving three-phase motors which meet the requirements of energy efficiency class IE3.

Super Silent version
Super Silent housing reduces the noise level of the compressor unit and enables an exhaust shaft to be used. For units in the MINI-VERTICUS & VERTICUS series, Super-Silent sound insulation can be retrofitted on request.

Complete version
Separate intake buffer and condensate vessel, completely piped and mounted on common base frame with compressor unit. Instead of combined intake buffer and condensate vessel without common base frame.

B-CONTROL II
The BAUER B-CONTROL II compressor control is the extended version of the B-CONTROL MICRO basic compressor control. Read more

Monitoring the intermediate pressures and intermediate stage temperatures
This monitoring system is recommended for continuous operation and fully automated operation, as well as for compressor units that do not receive regular attention from specialist personnel. Monitoring tracks the minimum value of stage 1 (intermediate pressure only) and the maximum value of all compressor stages. The compressor unit shuts off if the values monitored fall below or exceed the permissible limit values. The actual value is displayed by the B-CONTROL compressor control unit.

Oil level monitoring
If the oil level reaches the minimum mark, this is indicated on the control display as a warning message. This option is highly recommended for compressor units in continuous operation.

B-APP
The B-APP allows remote access to BAUER compressors with the B-CONTROL MICRO control via the B-CLOUD. It offers useful features such as calculation tools, an integrated worldwide dealer search, news and videos about compressed air and BAUER compressors. Available in the App Store (iOS) and on Google Play (Android). Read more

P 61 Purification system
The units in the MINI-VERTICUS & VERTICUS series can be supplied with the P 61 purification system integrated as an option. Clean air and gas qualities meeting the requirements of ISO 8573-1 (among others) can be achieved.

P 81 Purification system
The units in the MINI-VERTICUS & VERTICUS series can be supplied with the P 81 purification system integrated as an option. This system doubles the intervals for changing cartridges compared with the P 61 purification system and meets the requirements of more far-reaching treatment standards.

Particulate filter
An integrated particulate filter is offered as an option in conjunction with the P61 and P81 purification systems, to remove particulates safely in compliance with industrial requirements under ISO 8573 class 2.

B-SECURUS filter monitoring
The B-SECURUS system monitors the saturation of the filter cartridge(s) by measuring the moisture in the molecular sieve. Read more

Intermediate pressure gauges
Analogue pressure gauges mounted on the compressor unit in a suitable location. They make it easy to check, diagnose and maintain the unit.

Intake pressure reduction
IIntake pressure reduction ensures that the compressor takes in the gas at the appropriate pressure. The level of intake pressure reduction is adjusted according to prevailing gas pressure and required intake pressure. Integrated safety valves and pressure monitoring effectively ensure that intake pressure does not fall below or above the permissible level.

Exhaust shaft
Two types of exhaust shaft are available for the installation of compressors in containers, housings or service rooms. Read more
