Northey invented the 'Hook & Claw' dry vacuum pump and compressor in the 1930's. Northey Boyce, Northey Rotary Compressors and Northey Technologies Ltd (NTL) are all descendants from the original company. We are proud of this heritage.
From the original applications of superchargers for cars and vacuum pumps for railway braking systems, we have developed and added to our product range. For more than 60 years the company has specialised in the design and manufacture of compressors and vacuum pumps for handling a wide variety of gases. The gas is compressed between precision machined rotors. thre is no metal-to-metal contact and now need for lubrication, so there is no risk of contaminating the gas. Simpler and less expensive than screw or non-lubricated piston machines, Northey Compressors are exceptionally reliable.
