Boosting supercharger efficiency
Holroyd has successfully transferred its helical rotor technology for screw compressors, into the latest range of high performance superchargers for powerboats and drag racers. Screw superchargers provide many advantages over traditional lobe type blowers: they provide smoother power delivery; a power boost right at the bottom of the power range; considerably more torque at low revs, and help extend the life of the engines to which they are fitted.
Key to Holroyd's success is the Ex series of high speed milling machines, which offer the high power, high stock removal rates and onboard measuring capabilities, which are fundamental to providing the flexibility to produce new types of rotor profiles in a matter of hours; thus reducing development times.
