Overview
The Oil-Free Screw Compressor is designed to deliver clean, contamination-free air, making it ideal for industries that require ultra-pure air quality. Unlike traditional oil-lubricated compressors, this model operates without oil in the compression chambers, ensuring a completely oil-free air output.
How Oil-Free Compressors Work
Oil-free compressors utilize materials like Teflon or ceramics in their moving parts, eliminating the need for oil to reduce friction or manage heat. Oil-Free Screw Compressors specifically use high-performance rotors made of materials capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures, without requiring oil for lubrication. Heat management is achieved through air or water cooling systems, depending on the model.
Key Features
- Clean and Contaminant-Free Air: Ensures that the output air is entirely oil-free, making it perfect for sensitive applications.
- Low Maintenance: With no oil to manage, maintenance is reduced, leading to lower overall costs.
- Energy Efficiency: Technological advancements provide higher energy efficiency.
- Cost-Effective Operation: Fewer maintenance needs and no oil changes translate to lower long-term operating costs.
Technical Specifications
- Operating Pressure: 7 to 15 bar, depending on the model.
- Capacity: 0.5 to 50 cubic meters per minute.
- Power Consumption: Ranges from 2 to 500 kilowatts, depending on the compressor’s type and volume.
Applications
The Oil-Free Screw Compressor is widely used across industries where air quality is critical:
- Food and Beverage: Clean air for production and packaging processes.
- Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare: Prevents contamination in sensitive environments.
