Why Choose an Oil Free Compressor?

Widely used in industries such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals, oil free compressors are the perfect solution for applications that cannot risk any chance of oil contamination. For this to be a certainty, it is essential that the compressor be oil free. As mentioned previously, for many industries, air purity is crucial. Even the smallest amount of oil within a compressed air system could cause damage to equipment or the end product. Oil free compressors take away this risk completely, ensuring only the purest air quality. Where a lubricated compressor uses oil within the compression chamber, oil free air compressors use alternative materials that protect the pump, allowing the machine to fluently operate without the need for oil.

The amount of pressure you need depends on the machines and tools you use. The majority of compressed air equipment is designed to operate around 6-7 bar (90-100 psi). However, some applications require much higher pressure.

There is a general misconception that to gain more flow you need more pressure. This is not the case, depending on the equipment you operate will depend on the flow needed from the compressor. For example a shot blast bay would require 300 CFM at 7 bar.

Motor power is usually determined in KW size and in some instances, HP (Horsepower) For example a 66 CFM requirement at 7 bar would require an 11KW compressor to deliver the flow.

There are two types of rotary screw compressors available to the market ,these are Fixed speed compressors and Variable Speed Drive. Fixed Speed Compressors are capable of delivering x amount of flow at a set pressure. This technology is quite inefficient if the compressor is oversized. Variable Speed Drive is capable of delivering a minimum flow all the way through to its max output. These machines vary the distributed flow from the compressor to the required demand.

Applications of Oil Free Air Compressors

Oil-free air compressors are designed for applications where compressed air purity is critical. In many industries, even the smallest trace of oil contamination can damage products, affect quality, or disrupt production processes. By eliminating oil from the compression chamber, oil-free compressors deliver clean, dry, contaminant-free air, ensuring the integrity of both the product and the manufacturing environment.

These systems are widely used in industries that must meet strict health, safety and quality standards, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage production, electronics, textiles and chemical processing. In many of these environments, compressed air may come into direct contact with products, ingredients or packaging, making contamination control essential.

Oil-free compressors are also commonly used in laboratories, dental practices, hospitals, paint spraying and precision engineering, where clean, reliable air supply is vital. By providing 100% oil-free compressed air, these systems help businesses maintain product quality, meet regulatory requirements and protect sensitive equipment while ensuring consistent and dependable performance.

Air Compressor Service

Regularly servicing your compressed air system is essential to maintain optimum efficiency and productivity. Explore our range of Service and Maintenance Packages to find out more.

A well-maintained compressor system runs more efficiently, consumes less energy, and significantly reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns. Over time, components such as air filters, oil filters, separators, belts, and valves naturally wear and become less effective. Scheduled servicing ensures these parts are inspected, cleaned, or replaced before they impact performance.

Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to higher running costs, poor air quality, increased energy consumption, and unplanned downtime. For businesses that rely on compressed air for production, even a short interruption can have a major impact on productivity.

Our service packages are designed to keep your compressed air system operating at peak performance. From routine inspections and preventative maintenance to full system servicing, our experienced engineers work with all major compressor brands and system types.
