Oil-free Compressors
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, electronics and textiles cannot tolerate any chance of oil contamination in their processes. Therefore, for compressed air applications within these industries, a technology excluding any risk of contamination is an absolute requirement.
Oil-Free Scroll Air Compressors
Some industries rely on 100% oil-free compressed air to avoid contamination in the production line or during equipment cleaning. The textile, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and medical industries are examples of sectors that strive to meet the ISO 8573-1: 2010 standard of air purity for solid particles, water and oil. Oil-free compressors are a requirement to ensure this standard is met. Learn more about these compressors below.

What Is an Oil-Free Scroll Air Compressor?
As the name implies, an oil-free scroll air compressor does not have oil that needs to be separated from the condensate. It is also popularly known as a scroll vacuum pump or spiral compressor.
The circular motion of the entwined scrolls within the compressor helps compress and remove air without using oil. This compressor type is effective because it doesn't need downstream filter replacements as other compressors do and uses self-lubricating pistons instead of oil to function. These air compressors are beneficial because they require less maintenance, are energy efficient, work continuously for optimal productivity and are reliable for their intended purpose.

Oil-Less vs. Oiled Air Compressors
Oiled air compressors are useful in applications that don't require pure air, like mechanical auto shops and construction sites. Oiled models include piston air compressors that run using pistons and rotary screw air compressors that operate using rotors.
Oil-less or oil-free compressors must provide clean air for delicate applications where pollutants could risk component contamination. Their moving parts don't need continuous oil lubrication, making them a cost-effective alternative.
