Either an electrical problem, or the compressor has tripped on a safety device. Check supply power. Check for errors on display. Check emergency stop is out. Check and reset the overload relay. If it’s a new installation, check the phase sequence. Ambient temperature too high or not enough ventilation.
[pdf] The Archimedes' screw, also known as the Archimedean screw, hydrodynamic screw, water screw or Egyptian screw, is one of the earliest documented machines. It was so-named after the Greek mathematician who first described it around 234 BC, although the device had been developed in earlier in the century.

[pdf] Let me explain how a rotary screw element is built up. See this example picture of an oil-free screw element. Compressor element (oil-free type). Photo: Atlas Copco Of course, we see the two rotors (male rot. The structure of the compressor head is designed to withstand high pressures and temperatures. It is typically made of durable materials such as cast iron or aluminum to ensure longevity and reliability.
