Sprintex Patented Twin-Screw Helical System 
The patented Sprintex twin screw supercharger rotor compressor is a mechanically driven rotary compressor with two helical lobed rotors, which rotate in opposite directions. One rotor takes the form of the left-hand helix, the other the right hand helix and the two mesh together to form chambers which carry the air. The rotors never touch, but are timed by a pair of gears operating in a lubricated chamber which is separated from the rotor chamber.
 Positive displacement, screw type superchargers are considered the most efficient way of Supercharging an engine. Intermeshing rotors displace a set amount of charge air from the air inlet system to the discharge port with each rotation of the twin helical screw rotors. The Supercharger is driven by the crankshaft and as such is matched very consistently to the engine, with the benefit of immediate boost delivered as and when required by the driver. The screw type supercharger actually compresses the air between the rotors and the housing, differentiating it from all other types. It is this feature that allows it to be more efficient than other types.
Lower discharge temperatures and higher volumetric efficiency, which in turn assists with engine bay packaging are features of the Sprintex Unit. In most cases, low boost configurationwill eliminate the need for inter-cooling. It operates effectively in both OEM and aftermarket installations and has been the subject of many years of ongoing research and development.
