2. GENERAL DATA
2.1 Principle of operation
The male screw and the female screw mesh and rotate
in opposite directions inside the casing fitted with inlet
and discharge ports.
Rotation generates a volume increase on the inner face
between threads and grooves, which corresponds to
inlet, and a volume reduction on the upper face, which
corresponds to compression.
On the discharge port side, a set of gears synchronizes
the male screw and the female screw. Thus, the screws
are not in contact. The discharged air does not enter in
contact with any friction part and remains clean and free
from particles.
On the drive shaft side, the female screw is driven by a
set of step-up gears.
An oil pump delivers pressurized oil which circulates,
lubricating gears and ball bearings.
Sealing is provided between lubricated parts and the
compression stage by means of labyrinth seals. These
seals do not enter in contact with the shaft and are not
subject to wear.
Thanks to their technology, MX12 compressors are
reliable and have a long service life.
MX12 compressors need very limited maintenance,
which reduce vehicle downtime.
MX12 version S drive speed were defined so as to drive
it directly through universal joints from a P.T.O. shaft.
MX12 compressor is therefore fitted within the chassis.
Thanks to this system, the installation is lighter and
saves space on the side of the vehicle for other acces-
sories.
MX12 version N can be directly driven by an electric,
hydraulic or diesel motor.
Our compressors are delivered without oil. The use
of a compressor with an incorrect oil level can lead
to important property damage and serious injuries.
2.2 Technical characteristics
The operating characteristics are given in the indicative
operation conditions : ambient temperature and air inlet
temperature 20°C, atmospheric pressure : 1013 mbars.
Speed allowed at the compressor drive shaft : See §
OPERATING RANGES - RECOMMENDED DRIVE CONDITIONS.

2.3 Operating ranges
The operating ranges specified in the § TECHNICAL CHA-
RACTERISTICS give the conditions that must be respected
on mounting and packaging of the MX12.
2.3.1 CONDITIONS AT SUCTION
In all cases of use, the compressor inlet suction air must
be filtered in order to eliminate particles bigger than 5 µm.
Compressor functionning under pressure :
The maximum pressure drop at suction must be lower
than 75 mbar.
A clogging indicator device turns red when the filter
needs to be changed.
REMINDER :
THE CLOGGING INDICATOR MUST NOT BE RED WHEN
THE COMPRESSOR IS IN PRESSURE OPERATION.
2.3.2 CONDITIONS AT DISCHARGE
The MX12 compressor must be protected by a valve that
protects the compressor against accidental over-pressure.
See Instructions 1401-E00 SCREW COMPRESSORS CHECK
AND RELIEF VALVE.
Maximum acceptable discharge pressure : see curve
below.
Having the compressor run above its maximal tempe-
rature may lead to serious body injuries or property
damages.

3. INSTALLATION
During the assembly, check that no foreign body penetrates
into the compressor. The piping inlet and outlet must be per-
fectly clean.
Any foreign body risks to damage seriously the compressor.
All the fixation points availables must be used.
The presence of foreign bodies in the compressor inlet
channel is susceptible of leading to serious property
damage or serious injuries.
3.1 Mounting location
The compressor must be installed in a location where it
is easily accessible. In particular, check that the oil filling
plug , the magnetic plugs and the filter are accessible.
Choose a location where the compressor is relatively
protected from gravel projections and road spray as well
as exhaust fumes and engine heat. When the compres-
sor is directly driven by universal joints, it will be installed
between the chassis side members. In other cases, it
can be installed either between the side members or
beside the chassis side. The compressor may be installed
with a small angle, but please ensure not to exceed the
angular values set out in the diagrams below.
If the compressor is to be painted, use high temperature
resistant paint.
3.2 Fixations
3.2.1 Install lateral plate
3.2.2 Install U
NOTA :
3 possible positions (position 2 shown).
The compressor must be fixed on one side or the other
using the 3 bosses.
The 3 ØM16 threads must be free of grease, paint, oxi-
dation, etc. Retap if necessary.
Use quality 8.8 screws fitted with Nord-Lock type steel
washers.
The screws which must have an implantation of ~ 20 mm
in the threads must be tightened to a torque of 120 Nm
using a torque wrench.
Finally, make sure that the side plate is perfectly clam-
ped, meaning that the screws are not against the bottom
of the threads.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
During operation, the tem-
perature of the surface of a
compressor and nearby
parts can be in the region
of 200°C.
The compressor and the
parts located nearby are
thus susceptible of provo-
king serious burns and pro-
perty damage.
Be careful to not approach
elements that are sensitive
to heat and affix plates
informing users that the
compressor is hot, to pre-
vent any risk of burns.

3. INSTALLATION (continued)

3.4 At suction
The suction side of the compressor must be fitted with a
air filter. This filter must be installed horizontally, rain pro-
tection cap upwards. It must be positioned to avoid gra-
vel projections and road spray as well as exhaust fumes
and engine heat.
The air filter is connected to the compressor by a hose.
Before making this connection, which must be perfectly
sealed, make sure that the inlet pipe and attachment
flanges are clean.
The clogging indicator must remain visible to the operator.
The filter must be easily accessible. Leave enough room
(about 400 mm) to replace the cartridge, as shown on
the drawing below :
3.5 Discharge
3.5.1 Silencer
Dampens noise in pipes. It shall be positioned as close
as possible to the compressor discharge.
It must be directly welded to the discharge pipe.
Any weld performed outside of this zone of authorized
welding will seriously damage the silencer. In particular,
it is not authorized to weld a fixation foot on the silencer.
3.5.2 Check valve and relief valve
The compressor must be protected by a check valve and
a relief valve.
See Instructions 1401-E00 SCREW COMPRESSOR CHECK
AND RELIEF VALVE.
3.6 Drive
Our screw compressors can be the object of various
modes of driving, it is however necessary to take care of
the adapted protection systems.

speed range can lead to property damage or serious
injuries. See central IOM.
The non balancing of the drive shafts can lead to
mechanical ruptures that are susceptible of causing
important property damage and/or serious injuries.
Not following assembly instruction can lead to
mechanical ruptures that may create major property
damage and/or serious injuries.
In all cases, the drive must make it possible :
• To maintain the compressor rotation speed during load
variations (pressure variations).
• Not to subject the compressor to sudden or insufficient
starts/stops.
3.6.2 PTO shaft drive
It is mandatory to comply with the following instructions :
• The shaft must be dynamically balanced.
• Its length and its angle must be as small as possible,
see table.
• The drive shaft slides perfectly well during rotation.
• The jaws of the universal joints are parallel.
• Coupling flanges show no eccentricity nor warping of
the bearing surface.
• The angle formed by the universal joint and the drive
shaft must not exceed 15°.
• The compressor shaft must be parallel to that of the
drive shaft.
To protect the P.T.O in the event of compressor stalling,
it is necessary to install a torque limiter.
The MOUVEX company shall not be held responsible for
damage resulting from such stalling if this stalling is
caused by wrong manipulation with the compressor or if
a wrong torque limiter is installed.
See Instructions 1401-B00 TORQUE LIMITER - SCREW COM-
PRESSORS.
If the greasing instructions for the universal joint are
not respected, this can lead to ruptures of this uni-
versal joint, as well as property damage and serious
injuries
3.6.3 Belt / pulley arrangements
The pulley ratio is determined according to the
P.T.O speed and the compressor speed.
To determine the types of belts and pulleys, refer to the
manufacturer ’ s recommendations.
You must observe the following installation rules :
• The shaft supporting the driving pulley must be per-
fectly parallel with the compressor shaft.
• Pulleys must be correctly aligned.
• Belts shall be sufficiently tensioned to avoid any
slack or slide.
• The belts must be able to pass the power consumed
by the compressor.

3. INSTALLATION (continued)

The operator should remain nearby the equipment throughout
the use to ensure the proper functioning of the system.
It is imperative to hold the hose in order to avoid whipping
during pressurization.
4.1 Lubricant recommendations
MOUVEX BSC3 oil is recommended.
With BSC3 oil, oil change is recommended every year or
400 working hours.
In case of operations done under minus 25°C, BSC3 oil
viscosity sharply increases and can generate starting
troubles. It will be necessary, in that case, to preheat the
compressor body.
It is also allowed to use oil SAE 5W40 temporarily allowing
to tolerate -35°C.
That implies the following constraints :
• Oil must be replaced every 100 operating hours.
• Imperative return to the BSC3 when the temperature
becomes again positive.
Oils BSC and SAE are miscible; the passage of the one
with the other thus does not imply particular procedure of
cleaning.
4.2 Filling of lubricant
Our compressors are delivered without oil. The use
of a compressor with an incorrect oil level can lead
to important property damage and serious injuries.
The quantity of oil for a MX12 compressor is approxi-
mately 4,7 l :
• ~3,5 l inside the compressor,
• ~1,2 l inside the cooler, pipes and filter.
Compressor installed on the truck :
• Add around 4,5 l by the oil plug inside the compressor.
• Run the compressor for 1 min.
• Use one of the side plug in order to set up the maxi-
mum oil level. Put oil until it reach leaking level.
Checking the oil level can also be done via the oil dip-
stick located at the rear of the compressor.
Before starting the system, fill the casing with oil until
reaching the overflow level.
NB : A residual volume of 0,5 l of oil may be present inside
the compressor when it leaves the factory.
After filling, the level must under no circumstances
exceed the maximum oil level.

4. USE OF COMPRESSOR

4.3 Operation
• The compressor must be started with the discharge
valves open.
• When it is started for the first time, check the com-
pressor rotation direction. Also check rotation speed
(refer to § TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS).
• The compressor shall be stopped without any coun-
terpressure at discharge.
• At the first start, check that the combinations of rotation
speed and discharge pressure of the compressors
are in conformity with those indicated in § TECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS.
Before any equipment startup, it is necessary to
check the coherency between the motor rotation
direction and the compressor operating direction. A
startup with rotation in the wrong direction will lead
to irreversible property damage on the compressors
that is not covered by the guarantee.
During operation, the temperature of the surface of
a compressor and nearby parts can be in the region
of 200°C. The compressor and the parts located
nearby are thus susceptible of provoking serious
burns and property damage. Be careful to not
approach elements that are sensitive to heat and
affix plates informing users that the compressor is
hot, to prevent any risk of burns.
4.4 Starting-up
BEFORE starting compressor, open all air valves neces-
sary to vent the tank and compressor to atmosphere.
Verify there is no possibility of operating at pressure
before compressor reaches correct speed.
Close all valves and proceed to pressurize the tank and
discharge the cargo.
4.4.1 Start-up procedure for manual gear box
• Start the engine and run with standard speed.
• Depress clutch and engage the PTO.
• Release the clutch SLOWLY.
• Set engine speed to give the correct compressor speed.
4.4.2 Shutting down procedure for manual gear
box
• Depress the clutch and disengage the PTO.
• Reduce engine speed to idle.
ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE DRIVE BEFORE SLOWING ENGINE
DOWN.
• Release the clutch.

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 Maintenance schedules
After every cleaning of the truck
Always run the compressor for 15 minutes to remove
any water that inadvertently gets into the piping. DO
NOT fog or introduce anti-corrosive liquids into the com-
pressor to prevent corrosion : Use of liquids in the com-
pressor will cause failure.
According to the prescriptions of § LUBRICANT RECOM-
MENDATIONS.
Change the compressor oil and clean the magnetic plugs.
Weekly
The compressor should be run for at least 15 minutes to
prevent moisture from collecting inside. This will reduce
the risk of corrosion damage to the compressor and
other equipment in the piping.
Clean the outer surfaces and the compressor cooling
wings, and the multiplier inlet grille. Inspect DAILY if
operating in dirty or severe environment. Check the con-
dition of the inlet filter hose for splits and tears. Replace
or repair as necessary.
Inspect compressor, system piping and components.
Clean or repair as necessary.
Monthly
Check oil level, add the necessary volume if necessary.
Check for cleanliness the breather inside the oil jauge,
clean with an air blower if necessary.
5.2 Compressor oil change procedure
Oil gauge : See § LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS.
Replace the oil filter at each oil change.
5.3 Air filter replacement procedure
Check weekly the clogging indicator. When it turns red,
replace the filter cartridge.
Before installing a new cartridge, clean the internal part
of the filter housing with a clean damp cloth.
The presence of foreign bodies in the compressor inlet
channel is susceptible of leading to serious property
damage or serious injuries.
5.4 Drive train inspection
5.4.1 PTO Drive
Check monthly that there is no clearance in the jaws and
PTO cross pieces by turning the universal joint manually
in one direction then in the other direction. Lubricate the
universal seal as per manufacturer’ s recommendations.
5.4.2 Belt & pulley drive
Check monthly that belt tension is sufficient. Retension
belts as required
Lubricate the pulley support shaft bearings as per manu-
facturer’ s recommendations.
5.5 Check valve and relief valve inspection
See Instructions 1401-E00 SCREW COMPRESSOR CHECK
AND RELIEF VALVE.
