Compressor manufacturer Rotair has launched the MDVN52 Eco5.

Described as a lightweight, high-performance compressor designed to meet increasing market demands for efficiency and versatility, the unit is powered by a 42kW Hatz Stage V diesel engine and offers 5200lpm at 7bar and up to 3100lpm at 14bar.

The unit features a pneumatic control system that automatically adjusts engine revs based on air delivery requirements, which Rotair said helps operators save fuel while maintaining consistent performance.

At the same time, the MDVN52 Eco5 is built to operate in extreme conditions and can withstand temperatures from -10°C to +55°C, delivering compressed air temperatures ranging from ambient +8°C (with an optional aftercooler) to ambient +40°C as standard.

The MDVN52 Eco5 also features electro-galvanized bodywork and an advanced painting process to ensure long-term protection, Rotair said.. Other features include an oversized air filter for effective air intake filtration, a combined radiator for efficient cooling, and an intelligent start/stop system that prevents incorrect operation.

In terms of transportation, the MDVN52 Eco5 is lightweight and compact enough to be towed under a standard B license, making it accessible to a broader range of operators and boosting utilization rates, a key metric for rental companies.

Optional features include a line lubricator for automatic lubrication of air-operated tools, reducing rust and extending tool lifespan and a clogging sensor for the engine air filter to maintain efficiency and ensure correct air supply.

Giuseppe Donadio, managing director of Rotair, said: “Rotair’s designs focus on sustainability, operational efficiency, and ease of maintenance. The MDVN52 Eco5 exemplifies these values, offering a compact yet powerful solution that meets the needs of the rental market and modern construction sites.”
