Oil Free Benefits.

Eliminate the Risk of Contamination
Oil-free air compressors eliminate the risk of contamination in the product and along with it worries, easing the users while maintaining the brand’s quality. The risk elimination also helps with maintenance cost and downtime reduction.

Operational Cost Reduction
Even though screw type compressor does not use oil, after 5 years the head parts must all be replaced which often result in easily half of the initial cost. Other than that, the cost of maintenance and consumable part slowly increase over time. These are the variables that users must emphasize upon consideration.

Reduce Environmental Impact
Oil fog and oil contaminated cooled water vapor from air compressor are under supervision. By using oil-free compressors these hidden costs can be eliminated.

What is ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 standard?
International Organization of Standardization (ISO) has developed ISO 8573-1 standard to examine the air compression quality by considering solid, water, oil, and gas particle within 1 meter cube. The ISO 8573-1 Class 0 standard is using the strictest test method currently available and simulates the environment as if onsite. Air compressing must possess less than 0.01 mg/m3 of the liquid, fog, or steam in total.

Standard ISO 8573-1 Class 0 :

Class             Concentration total oil (mg/m3)     

 0                    As specified, more stringent than Class 1      

 1                                            ≤ 0.01      

 2                                             ≤ 0.1
