Reliable, efficient and application-specific compressed air solutions for industrial applications.
Gurudev Enterprises offers VSD/VFD and Direct-Drive Oil-Injected Screw Compressors under the Intello Kompressor brand for industrial applications requiring reliable, efficient and application-specific compressed air solutions.
A Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Oil-Injected Screw Compressor uses a variable frequency drive to control the speed of the compressor motor according to the required compressed air demand.
Instead of continuously operating the motor at a fixed speed, the VSD system allows the compressor to increase or decrease its speed as air demand changes.
Oil is injected into the compression chamber to provide lubrication, cooling and sealing during the compression process.

Find answers to common questions about VSD/VFD, Direct-Drive technology, maintenance and services.
A screw compressor that adjusts motor speed according to compressed air demand.
A screw compressor where the motor transfers power directly to the airend.
VSD/VFD controls motor speed, while Direct-Drive describes the power transmission arrangement.
Yes. Some compressor designs combine variable-speed control with direct-drive technology.
VSD is particularly suitable when compressed air demand varies significantly.
It eliminates conventional belt-and-pulley transmission and reduces belt-related maintenance requirements.
Filters, oil separators, compressor oils, valves, sensors, seals, electrical components and model-specific service parts are available.
Yes. Gurudev Enterprises provides compressor repair, servicing, troubleshooting and preventive maintenance support.
Yes. Annual Maintenance Contract services are available for planned preventive maintenance and ongoing support.
Selection depends on FAD/CFM, working pressure, HP/kW, air-demand pattern, operating hours, application and future requirements.
