Oil-Free Air Compressor

Frequently Asked Questions

An oil-free compressor usually costs more and last for a shorter amount of time. However, in a situation where you need a completely oil-free environment (such as in food industries where there is a chance of contamination), oil-free compressors are the only option. Here are a few key points to consider when deciding which type of air compressor is right for you.

Oil-Injected Air Compressor

  • Oil-injected air compressors are often quieter in operation
  • Not suitable when you work in an industry that required a completely oil-free environment due to its oil carryover
  • Most common screw compressor in Australia
  • Will last much longer than oil-free screw compressors
  • Oil injected tend to be the most cost-effective air compressors

Oil-Free Air Compressor

  • Oil-free compressors are generally more expensive than oil-injected
  • Provides 100% oil-free air
  • Oil-free are compressors are more expensive for servicing and repairs
  • Lower life expectancy

What size compressor you need is completely dependent on what air-operated equipment you plan on using. To work out what size would be best for you, add up the air usage of all air tools that will be used simultaneously. It’s best to add an extra 20% - 25% to allow for future usage down the track. This is only a rough guide, the best way to ensure you have the correct size machine is to request a compressed air energy audit.

No, they do not. It’s always best to check for any problems after the first start-up but after that, you are ready to go. If you do find any leaks or problems, turn the machine off and be sure to contact your product provider before operating any air compressor equipment again.

Many air compressors are able to run off generators, however, it is not recommended. If you have access to mains electricity, it is recommended you use that to power your air compressor equipment. Generators have fluctuations in power which can cause problems for compressors as they require a constant voltage to run. It is even more important for rotary screw compressors to be run off mains electricity rather than generators due to their constant operation.

If you are only using your machine occasionally then annually servicing your compressed air equipment should be sufficient. If you are operating your air compressor routinely, then it may be best to service it quarterly. It is always recommended to do small services whenever you have the ability and time to.

If you are ever worried that your air compressor is not working the way it is intended, it is always safest to turn it off and have a trained industry professional come and inspect its components.

The working pressure of oil-free air compressors varies depending on the model and application. Generally, they operate within a range of 90 to 145 psi, which is sufficient for most industrial applications. It’s important to choose a model with the appropriate working pressure to optimise your system’s efficiency and performance.

The sound level of the air compressors depends on the technology. Oil free scroll compressors are one of the quietest air compressors around. The screw compressors otherwise are at a similar noise level whether oil lubricated or oil free.

Investing in an oil-free air compressor is ideal for industries where air purity is critical, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. These compressors provide clean, contaminant-free air, reducing the risk of product defects and ensuring compliance with stringent quality standards.

To optimise the efficiency of your compressed air system, it’s important to regularly review and maintain all components, including the air compressor, piping, and filtration systems. Ensuring that your system is properly engineered and designed specifically for your application can reduce energy costs and enhance overall performance. Consulting with a professional who understands the critical aspects of compressed air systems can help you achieve the best results.

When looking to improve energy efficiency, customers have to look further than the air compressor and evaluate the compressed air system as a whole. The most essential part for improvement is generally your air piping system — how the compressed air is transported and used in the end application. Both the design of the distribution and the material used for piping affect energy efficiency. Consult with a compressed air specialist to see what steps can be taken to pursue reduce your energy cost. By running an energy-efficient operation, your business works toward saving money and creating a more sustainable future.

Oil-free air compressors are designed specifically to provide 100% clean air, making them the best choice for sensitive applications such as in the medical, dental, food, and beverage industries. These compressors eliminate the risk of oil contamination, which is critical in maintaining the quality and safety of your products. Additionally, oil-free compressors are engineered to deliver reliable performance with lower maintenance costs compared to oil-injected models, though they may have a shorter lifespan. Investing in an oil-free air compressor is ideal for sectors where air quality cannot be compromised.

Oil-free air compressors come with various professional features that enhance their reliability and performance. These compressors are also equipped with technology that ensures compliance with ISO Class 0 air quality standards, making them suitable for the most demanding applications.
