Voltaire is a privately held engineering and manufacturing company that delivers high performance, ultra-efficient air management solutions for industrial and ground-based aviation industries. Applications include mobile equipment for commercial and military aviation support needs, and high performance industrial blower products for air sparging, bulk material transfer, or for any other need requiring 2-Bar pressure. We specialize in delivering high performance turbomachinery products based on proven centrifugal compressor and radial turbine technology.
Who We Are
Who We Serve
What We Do
TURBOMACHINERY PRODUCTS
Our team of experts design, develop and deliver robust, affordable, ultra-efficient compressed air solutions. What our customers appreciate most is our "outside the box" approach while providing novel and innovative products that markedly advance their position in the competitive landscape.
Our Process
Our product development process is fueled by innovation - we maximize value to our customers by delivering unique and novel solutions that both out-perform competing products, and provide substantial and protectable advantages in a highly competitive market.
The foundation of our process is the smart application of decades of experience and proven “best practices.” As a result of our collective experience, we excel not only at design, but also in the practical application of building complex systems.
FOCUSED ON EFFICIENCY
We make intelligent use of fuel, electrical power and time - and pass those savings on to our customers. Compressed air is costly to produce, so the most efficient solution will also be the lowest life-cycle cost solution. We pride ourselves in bringing best-in-class efficiency to fully engineered product designs that benchmark well against competitors.
CASE STUDY
Ground-Based Aviation Equipment
Portable equipment for military and civilian aviation ground support have traditionally relied upon decades-old technologies, integrated in legacy approaches lacking innovation. Product manufacturers have historically competed on price, resulting in numerous “me too” product offerings differing in little else than cost. Enter Voltaire. By taking a clean sheet approach, we designed, tooled, built and delivered a completely new solution to jet engine start and conditioned air equipment - all powered by air!

POWER IN AIR
“We need ‘X’ psi at ‘Y’ airflow …” Although this end state may be simple to define, the optimal path to getting there often is not. Each environmental, system, deployment, cost, and broader application variable will have considerable influence on the ultimate solution choice. We have delivered several highly successful product solutions by exploiting a variety of advanced - but proven - technical approaches including high speed direct-drive electrical machines, high speed transmissions, rolling element and compliant air-foil bearing technologies, combustion engine drive, and more. We introduce our customers to the latest industry best practices, but we also guide them away from potential minefields that may derail even the best intentioned approach. The elements of success include both technical and commercial, and this is our mission.
