The NEA hybrid is the answer to the technically highly demanding emission- and oilfree compression. This innovation combines NEA's gas-tight crankcase with HOFER's diaphragm head. The multi-stage, one crank drive system offers a leakage-free solution for low suction and high discharge pressure ratio at higher mass flows.
HOFER diaphragm compressors are absolutely hermetically sealed towards the environment. Thus, the contamination-free compression of different gases as well as for gas mixtures is also suitable for toxic and hazardous gases. High purity gases can be delivered without any contamination or losses even at highest pressures.
With the acquisition of HOFER in 2015, NEA now provides a performance range from low pressure up to 5,000 bar from a single source. The special design of HOFER`s crank drives gives the opportunity to combine a dry-running NEA piston compressor and a diaphragm compressor. A combination of diaphragm technology and NEA’s gas tight crankcases makes leak-free high compression possible. With this intelligent hybrid solution NEUMAN & ESSER responds to the current Zero Emission megatrend and serves new market niches.
