Oil-Free Compressors
As the name implies, an oil-free scroll air compressor does not have oil that needs to be separated from the condensate. It is also popularly known as a scroll vacuum pump or spiral compressor. The circular motion of the entwined scrolls within the compressor helps compress and remove air without using oil. This compressor type is effective because it doesn’t need downstream filter replacements as other compressors do and uses self-lubricating pistons instead of oil to function. These air compressors are beneficial because they require less maintenance, are energy efficient, work continuously for optimal productivity and are reliable for their intended purpose.
Oiled air compressors are useful in applications that don’t require pure air, like mechanical auto shops and construction sites. Oiled models include piston air compressors that run using pistons and rotary screw air compressors that operate using rotors. Oil-less or oil-free compressors must provide clean air for delicate applications where pollutants could risk component contamination. Their moving parts don’t need continuous oil lubrication, making them a cost-effective alternative.
Why is oil-free compressed air important?
Chemicals & Plastics – In the chemical industry and manufacturing, product purity is an absolute necessity. Therefore you need 100% oil-free air.
Electronics – Electronic experts know quality and cleanliness are crucial and would only choose 100% oil-free compressed air to guarantee quality and cleanliness of their electronic components.
Textile – Producing fabrics is an art, fashion designers entrust their creations only to manufacturers who are able to deliver the highest quality. That’s why you only choose 100% oil-free compressed air.
