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 eliminates any risk of oil entering your system or final product.
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.
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. With the use of a combination of quality air products such as coalescing filters and activated carbon filter towers, these traces of oil aerosols and oil vapour can be reduced, however they can never be fully removed. On top of remaining traces of oil, there will always be an inherent risk for larger contamination, linked to potential equipment failure or incorrect filter maintenance.
On the other hand, oil-free compressors completely eliminate the risk of oil contamination. This make them essential to sensitive industries, such as:
- Food and beverage manufacturing: compressed air interacts directly with consumable products.
- Wastewater industry: relies on oil-free compressed air for aeration and facilitation efficient water recycling.
- Chemical processing and medical applications: demand the highest level of air purity, where precision is crucial.
The initial investment for oil-free compressors is usually higher than oil-injected compressors. This is because extra cooling methods are needed. However, for critical applications, the additional capex is easily outweighed by the significant benefits that oil-free compressors offer. With their ability to safeguard your processes and deliver high-quality air tailored to your specific application. You can trust our products to ensure optimal performance and peace of mind.

What is the advantage of an oil-free air compressor?
Oil-free compressors deliver 100% oil-free air, making them ideal for applications where air purity is critical.
Why do I need oil-free air?
Oil-free air is essential for industries where even the smallest amount of oil contamination can impact product quality, safety or compliance.
Unlike oil-injected compressors, which use oil for lubrication and can introduce trace amounts of oil into the air steam, oil-free air compressors eliminate the risk entirely.
Is it true that oil-free air compressors are more expensive to service?
No, this is a myth. While the upfront cost of oil-free compressors can be higher, service and maintenance are less expensive over time due to fewer consumables and reduced risk of contamination.
Can I recover my energy from my oil-free compressor?
Yes, you can. Oil-free compressors generate heat during operation, and with the right setup, up to 90% of that energy can be recovered and reused.
I have two VSD compressors - how can I control them efficiently?
The best way to manage and improve several compressors is with a central controller. Examples include the Optimizer 4.0 or Equalizer 4.0/4.0 PRO.
