MULTICOM® integral gear unit: reliable and efficient high-speed power transmission
The MULTICOM® is a multi-shaft integral gear unit designed using the latest gear technology. This type is capable of driving up to 10 compressor or expander stages at five different speeds, making it a core component in various compressor systems. With efficiencies up to 99%, the MULTICOM® gearbox is a highly versatile and energy saving solution.
The integral gear unit is the preferred choice for a wide range of industrial applications requiring high speed, multi-stage compression and power transfer. The MULTICOM® can be found in industries such as air separation, chemical and petrochemical, LNG, and new applications like Energy Storage, Hydrogen, Heat Pump, CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) and other process industries as further described below.
