Oil-free air compressor

buyers' guide

Deciding when and how to embrace Class 0 compressed air is critical for sensitive applications in the food and beverage, semiconductor, electronics, healthcare and automotive industries. And many other industries as well.

Oil-flooded rotary screw air compressors have been a mainstay of industrial and commercial power generation since their introduction in the 1930s.

They have achieved a remarkable track record, scoring gains in a wide range of factors crucial to facility managers. They are based on a simple, time-tested design with relatively few moving parts, making them highly reliable and reducing unexpected downtime.

But times change. Increasingly, their use of oil to lubricate and seal the compressor’s rotors has become a sticking point, largely because oil can carry over into the compressed air, wreaking havoc at the end use.

In response, compressor manufacturers have developed oil-free air compressors that do not introduce oil into the compression chamber. Instead, they use a combination of special materials and coatings and manufacture components to extremely tight tolerances.

As a result, more companies with sensitive applications—think electronics, food and beverage, healthcare, and semiconductors—are embracing oil-free technology.
