What Are Oil-Free Air Compressors?
Oil-free air compressors are systems that utilise a range of technologies that don’t require oil during the compression process. This is because, by design, to compress the air, they use oil in the gears, not the screws. This allows them to provide a 100% oil-free air supply for a variety of industries and applications that have more stringent air quality requirements. Due to their oil-free design, they also reduce the need for extensive air treatment equipment.
What Industries And Applications Require Class 0 Oil-Free Air?
Class 0 ISO 8573-1 certified air is the highest attainable standard of compressed air and means that the air is pure and free from contaminants such as oil, water and particulates. This stringent quality of air is required by a range of industries where health and safety or air purity is essential for their operations. This includes the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, electronics, oil and gas, automotive and painting, and glass industries. Therefore, it’s essential to have a high-performance, oil-free compressed air system in place to allow your air to meet the strict quality regulations of these industries - this is where we come in!
