Ultra Controlo product lines
| Line | What it is | Key facts |
|---|---|---|
| ULTRASCREW | Oil-injected rotary screw compressors, offered in fixed speed (FSD), variable speed (VSD) and two-stage with variable speed (DS) configurations | The datasheet states up to 35% energy savings for the variable speed version, which can operate over 5 to 14 bar |
| ULTRASEC | Refrigeration dryer with an aluminium heat exchanger and a hot gas bypass valve for a constant dew point | Inlet air up to 70 °C (ULTRASEC standard) or 100 °C (ULTRASEC-HT) |
| ULTRADRY | Adsorption dryer with desiccant cartridges, a coalescing filter at the inlet and a dust filter at the outlet | Pressure dew point of −40 °C to −70 °C |
| ULTRAK | Activated carbon tower that removes oil vapours from compressed air | Nominal residual oil vapour content below 0.003 mg/m³ |
| Air receivers | Tanks that store and stabilise compressed air | Vertical or horizontal |
| ULTRAOX VSA | Industrial oxygen plant using vacuum swing adsorption, supplied on a skid or in a container | 75 to 95% oxygen at 50 kPa; an additional oxygen booster for higher pressures, on demand |
The Industrial 2026 catalogue describes Ultra Controlo as a Portuguese manufacturer of compressed air, vacuum and technical gas systems, with its industrial line designed, assembled and tested in Portugal.
