Our History
L & W is one of the leading and renowed companies in the market of high-pressure applications.
L&W released the 1st compressor control worakable by an App control. This offers the possibility to control the compressor by a 10“ tablet. Customers are able to learn more about the compressor parameters from now on and are free to analyse their own filling requirements.

2020
New development of a small compressor block up to 250 l/ min. The innovative design enables a very slim construction. Compressors can be offered with delivery rates of 150 l / min, 200 l / min or 250 l / min. These mobile units can be offered with all possible options of the stationary series. This is the 1st time, an oil pump can also be optionally ordered for small delivery capacities.

New mobile and stationary PURACON systems for breathing air monitoring can in addition to the water content also check the value of CO / CO2 / O2 and oil in the compressed air. For the first time the monitoring of all required limits according to the European standard for breathing air EN 12021: 2014 is now possible.
