Vert Rotors has developed the world's smallest low-vibration air compressor: VERT.04\. It is a tiny conical screw compressor which produces high-pressure air without vibration and without the need for oil lubricant at significantly lower energy usage and can be produced at a micro scale, which is critical for medical device applications. This project will solve a technical problem in the manufacturing process so that we can produce the components using a hard engineering-grade polymer to the required dimensional tolerances so that the compressors will work for the full required duration. Commercialisation of this product will allow existing medical devices to become lightweight and compact, quiet and significantly more energy efficient and effective from a user perspective as well as leading to many new innovative applications particularly in wearable/mobile medical devices.

VERT Rotors已开发出世界上最小的低振动空气压缩机：VERT.04。它是一种微型锥形螺杆压缩机，可以产生无振动的高压空气，不需要润滑油，能耗显著降低，并且可以在微型范围内生产，这对医疗设备应用至关重要。该项目将解决制造过程中的技术问题，以便我们可以使用硬工程级聚合物来生产部件，以达到所需的尺寸公差，从而使压缩机能够在所需的全部时间内工作。该产品的商业化将使现有的医疗设备变得更轻、更紧凑、更安静，从用户的角度来看，它将显著提高能效和效率，并导致许多新的创新应用，特别是在可穿戴/移动医疗设备中。
