Oil-free air is everywhere

ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 represents the best air quality possible. The only way to ensure oil-free air for your critical processes, is with an ISO 8573-1 certified compressor

Oil-free air is used in all types of industries where air quality is vital for the production process and for the final product.


These applications include food and beverage manufacturing, the pharmaceutical industry (manufacturing and packaging), wastewater treatment, chemical and petrochemical processes, semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing, the medical sector, automotive spray painting, the textile industry and many more. Contamination, even from small amounts of oil, can lead to costly production downtime and product spoilage, making Class 0 the industry standard.

Why Buy Oil Free Compressors

Oil-free compressors are often a great choice for specific applications due to their unique advantages. Here’s why you might consider buying one:

1. Clean Air Output

  • No Oil Contamination: Oil-free compressors do not use oil for lubrication, ensuring the air produced is clean and free of contaminants. This is critical for industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, where even small traces of oil can cause problems.

2. Lower Maintenance

  • Fewer Components: Without oil, there’s no need to replace or monitor lubricants, resulting in simpler maintenance and reduced operating costs.
  • Less Downtime: Oil changes and oil separator maintenance are eliminated, improving uptime.

3. Environmentally Friendly

  • No Oil Disposal: Since oil-free compressors don’t use oil, there’s no need to manage or dispose of waste oil, making them more eco-friendly.

4. Compliance with Regulations

  • Many industries have strict standards for air quality (e.g., ISO 8573-1: Class 0 for air purity). Oil-free compressors are often necessary to meet these requirements.

5. Cost Savings in Some Scenarios

  • While oil-free compressors might have a higher upfront cost, they can save money over time due to lower maintenance costs, reduced energy consumption, and no need for oil replacements.

6. Lightweight and Compact

  • Oil-free designs are often lighter and more compact than oil-lubricated models, making them easier to transport and use in portable applications.

Common Applications for Oil-Free Compressors:

  • Food and beverage processing
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Medical and dental tools
  • Semiconductor production
  • Laboratories and cleanrooms

While oil-free compressors have many advantages, they may not be ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring high pressures or prolonged use, as oil-lubricated compressors tend to have better durability for such tasks.
