What is an oil-free air compressor?

oil-free air compressor

An oil-free air compressor is an advanced solution designed to deliver compressed air that is completely free from any oil contamination. Unlike, oil-injected compressors that rely on oil lubrication, our oil-free compressors eliminate any contact with oil during the compression process.

This guarantees that the final product is completely free of oil. This makes it ideal for applications where even the smallest amount of oil contamination is not allowed.

Advanced technologies for oil-free air production

The working principle of an oil-free compressor involves advanced technologies that guarantee oil-free air production. Our compressors use advanced technology like dry screws or water-injected screws. This eliminates the need for lubricating oil. This not only eliminates the risk of oil contamination, but also ensures efficient and reliable performance meeting the highest air purity standards.

Diverse industries and application

In industries where even the slightest oil contamination can have severe consequences, oil-free compressors are crucial. These compressors are particularly important in sectors where the end-product must remain free from any form of contamination

 

Oil-injected compressors rely on oil for lubrication and cooling, resulting in slight oil contamination in the delivered air. However, with the use of quality air products and coalescing filters, these traces of oil can be removed to achieve air purity levels as low as 0.01 micron.

What is the advantage of an oil-free air compressor?

The advantage of an oil-free air compressor lies in its ability to deliver compressed air that is completely free from oil contamination. Oil-injected compressors rely on oil for lubrication, sealing, and cooling. Oil-free compressors, however, eliminate any contact with oil during the compression process. It ensures the compressor delivers 100% oil-free air which is ideal for applications that require air without any oil contamination.

Using oil-free compressors can benefit you in different ways. This type of compressor:

  • guarantees superior air quality
  • reduces the risk of product contamination
  • eliminates the need for oil-related maintenance

These all result in cost savings and safer work environment for your operations.

Are oil-free compressors better than oil-injected?

When you are comparing oil-free compressors to oil-injected compressors, it is important to consider the specific requirements of your application and industry. Oil-free compressors have significant advantages in industries where even minor oil contamination can have serious consequences. They ensure 100% oil-free air delivery by eliminating any contact with oil during the compression process. This makes them highly suitable for sensitive applications such as food production, chemical and medical processes.

Oil-injected compressors are often used in manufacturing, industrial, and small workshop settings to provide effective performance with the use of oil for lubrication, sealing and cooling. While oil-injected compressors can be more cost-effective initially, oil-free compressors ensure long term benefits such as high-quality air, minimal risk of product contamination, and elimination of oil-related maintenance.

The choice between oil-free and oil-injected compressors depends on the requirements and needs of your specific application. Contact one of our experts to learn more.
