LINE CNG

CNG Booster RC

Compact, robust, high-performance.
And very Coltri

Designed to compress previously treated and filtered natural gas and biomethane with a suction pressure of 2 to 8 bar and a final pressure of up to 250 bar. Robust and compact, created for filling gas storage cylinders. The use of products from the line CNG Booster RC is easy and can be done safely. The equipment includes a remote electromechanical panel with 5 meters of cable for control and automatic stop function when the tank is full.

Watch it closely

Simplicity comes as standard

Imagine having a compressor capable of great performance and endowed with extraordinary robustness. What would all this be without absolute simplicity in operating it? We believe that’s what innovation is for: to make it simpler.

And now for all the details
3-stage high pressure pumping unit for methane
  • Aluminum monoblock
  • Spray lubrication with tang immersed in oil
  • Safety valves after each compression stage in bell
  • Pipes, fittings and nuts made of AISI 316 stainless steel
  • Intermediate condensate separator after the second stage
  • Die-cast aluminum cylinders with nicasil barrel coating
  • Forged aluminum connecting rods
  • Forged steel crankshaft
  • Pressure maintenance and control valve after final air filter purification
  • Stainless steel second and third stage valves
  • Roller Bearings for intensive work
  • Hardened steel third stage with 5 segments made of special cast iron
  • Second and third stages with thrust pads to eliminate lateral forces on the pistons
  • Filter system Maxifilter
Electric motor

One of the key parts of the compressor: the motor transfers motion to the pumping unit through the belt. A 3-phase electric motor from 3 to 5.5 kW is available on this model.

Purification system Maxifilter

The purification system Maxifilter enables reliable treatment of breathing air according to DIN EN 12021 when using original filter cartridges. Placed after the compressor 2nd and 3rd stage separator and before the pressure maintenance valve to create a first fundamental barrier against moisture. Filter capacity with inlet air at 20°C and 200 bar is 890 m³.
