VIEW PRODUCTAn oil- free compressor or an oil less compressor is an alternate to the oil lubricated compressor that allow to enjoy the benefit of compressing air without contaminating the air quality of the industrial environment. Beyond the presence or absence of oil, choosing the right compressor depends upon the industrial application. If the industry standards require high quality for instance in pharmaceutical, food processing, electronics, then the oil free version is the best option.
Oil-free or oil less compressors draw air within a cylinder which is pre-lubricated for permanent lubrication so as it produces identical compressed air quality to that of the intake air which helps the air remain oil-free. They are less expensive, lighter in weight and produce as much air flow (CFM) & pressure (psi) as many oil lubricated models. The oil less compressors have no oil in the entire system thus eliminating the risk of contaminating the air. They are pre lubricated machines and their workload is less than the oiled compressors. They have a capacity to fulfil everything that oil lubricated compressors can but without regular maintenance.
Oil free compressors do not release any kind of oil into the environment. They are environment friendly and reduce the cost of maintenance.If top quality air is an industrial requirement, an oil free compressor measures up against oil lubricated compressor.
The International Standards Organization (ISO) created ISO 8573-1 to provide manufacturers with the ability to define the level of tolerance for air purity in their compressed air system. This standard outlines the levels of solid particulates, water, and oil allowed based on the classification. Class 0, the most stringent of these classes, guarantees compressed air will contain < 0.01 mg/m3 of total oil.
An oil lubricated compressor requires oil separate elements and filtration to remove oil aerosols and requires frequent oil changes. An oil less compressor’s maintenance only involves draining the tank that collects vapour completely after every use. Oil lubricated compressors leaves traces of oil in other pneumatic equipment which increases the maintenance and replacement costs.
In industries such as Food and Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Electronics, etc, it is not the compressed air but the quality of compressed air that plays an important role. For instance, even minute traces of oil in precision electronic circuitry can havoc the electronic gadgets. Any traces of mineral oil poses serious health risk in the processed food and beverage industry. Pristine air is a certain must of the pharmaceutical industry. The same standards apply to paper mills, textiles, high gloss painting of automobiles and many more industries. In industries where oil contamination is not so serious such as general manufacturing and in small workshops, oil lubricated compressors can be used.
Oil less compressor only requires fewer amps when compared to oil lubricated compressors and they start much faster. Especially during winter, oil lubricated compressors would require more amps to begin working.
Oil free Compressors are used in industries where the air quality needs to meet strict industrial norms such as
In Food and Beverage industry compressed air is used for packaging, bottling, fermentation, food storage, cooling and spraying and so on. Any contaminated air will result in spoilage of the food product.
Highest quality of fabrics is possible when the air is oil-free. Choosing an oil- free compressor helps in manufacturing highest quality textiles.
In the process of compressing air, air comes into contact with the end product. There is a stringent requirement of Class 0 oil- free air to prevent the risk of contamination in the pharmaceutical industry. From manufacturing of tablets, capsules, ointments, creams and gels and syrups, oil- free compressors are extensively used. Oil- free compressors are also used in bottling, canning, packaging and in waste water treatment.
Compressed air is used in every single stage of production in the automotive industry. Clean air ensures superior quality of the end product.
