What is environmentally friendly oil-free air compressor

industry background

In today’s rapidly developing industrial field, compressed air, as the “fourth driving force”, plays an indispensable role in various industries. However, traditional oily air compressors often cause quality problems and environmental pollution during the production process due to their lubrication system and oil mist pollution. Especially in industries that require extremely high cleanliness of compressed air, such as printing, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage, the limitations of traditional oil-containing air compressors have become increasingly prominent.

Ecoaircompressor, that is, environmentally friendly oil-free air compressors, have gradually become the preferred equipment in these industries due to their excellent cleanliness performance and high efficiency and energy conservation. It not only provides clean compressed air that meets international standards, but also significantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs, helping companies achieve green production.

Why choose environmentally friendly oil-free air compressor

Excellent cleaning performance

Environmentally friendly oil-free air compressor adopts oil-free lubrication technology to completely eliminate oil mist pollution and ensure that the cleanliness of compressed air reachesISO 8573-1 Class 0 standard(Oil content ≤0.01mg/m³). This level of clean air can effectively prevent problems such as color differences of printed matter, short circuits of electronic components and drug pollution, and ensure product quality and process stability.

high-efficiency energy-saving

Compared with traditional oil-containing air compressors, the energy efficiency of environmentally friendly oil-free air compressors is significantly improved. Its specific power can be as low as5.6kW/(m³/min)(Comply with ISO 50001 energy efficiency standards), and reduce energy losses by optimizing design, helping companies reduce operating costs and reduce carbon emissions, which is in line with global sustainable development trends.

reduce maintenance costs

The oil-free design not only reduces the use of lubricating oil, but also reduces equipment blockages and failures caused by oil pollution. Data shows that using environmentally friendly oil-free air compressors can reduce the frequency of nozzle maintenance80%(Passed ISO 21667 printing equipment reliability test), significantly extending equipment life and reducing maintenance costs.

Selection of core parameters (with international standards)

cleanliness control

  • oil content: ≤0.001mg/m³ (stricter than ISO 8573-1 Class 0)
  • Particulate matter filtration efficiency: ≥99.9999%(certified by ISO 29463 H14 filter)

Temperature and humidity stability

  • dew point temperature: ≤-40℃ (complies with ISO 8573-3 Class 2 humidity standard)
  • temperature fluctuations: ≤±0.5℃ (meets DIN 1946-3 air handling equipment specifications)

dynamic response performance

  • pressure fluctuations: ≤±0.1%(passed ISO 1217 Annex D dynamic pressure test)
  • Traffic response time: ≤0.05 seconds (complies with VDMA 15392 pneumatic system response standard)

Potential risks of not using environmentally friendly oil-free air compressors

  • product quality problems
    Oil mist and particulate matter produced by traditional oil-containing air compressors may cause color differences in printed matter, short circuits in electronic components and drug pollution, directly affecting product quality and corporate reputation.
  • high maintenance costs
    Oiled systems require frequent replacement of filters and cleaning of equipment, which is costly and time-consuming to maintain, which affects production efficiency.
  • Energy consumption and environmental pressure
    Traditional oil-containing air compressors consume high energy and do not meet increasingly strict environmental regulations and the requirements of sustainable development of enterprises.
