OIL FREE AIR COMPRESSORS Air Equipment is one of the largest suppliers of industrial, oil free compressors in the South East of England. Oil free compressors are becoming increasingly popular (and increasingly necessary) to meet the latest industry standards especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the past, oil free machines were difficult to make efficient and reliable but as technology has improved over the past few years the machines are becoming better and better. Companies require oil free machines to guarantee that they have oil free compressed air. Oil free air is required for many applications including food handling, food packaging, pharmaceutical or laboratory use, in fact in almost every application where compressed air comes into contact with end product, where the end product is for animal and human consumption or has high cleanliness requirements.

Firstly getting rid of the heat generated during the compression process, secondly sealing the compression elements to stop air leakage creating in-efficiencies. Manufacturers have looked at various routes to minimise the effect of these issues. These include using two stage compression with intercoolers to improve efficiency, running air ends at high speeds to minimise leakage, using water as a lubricant / heat conductor to seal and remove heat, using specialist coatings on the compression elements to improve sealing. All of these have beneficial effects on the performance of the compressor but generally all oil free machines suffer from the following issues They are more expensive to buy and maintain than an equivalent oil lubricated machine They run hotter than an equivalent oil lubricated machine They are more noisy than an equivalent oil lubricated machine FOR MORE INFORMATION ON COMPAIR ULTIMA COMPRESSORS CLICK HERE OIL FREE PRODUCT RANGE CompAir have unique products that standout from the more traditional oil free machines with improved efficiency, lower noise and lower operating temperatures.
