Oil free air compressors have been designed specifically for applications where clean, pure air is critical, resulting in high quality air for your end product.

 

Why should one choose an oil‑free compressor?

Advantages of Oil‑Free Compressed Air Technologies for Hygiene‑Critical Applications

Hygiene‑sensitive industries — from pharmaceutical manufacturing to food and beverage production to delicate electronics — require increasingly pure compressed air. As soon as compressed air comes into direct contact with products, any oil or particle contamination can cause significant costs.

Oil‑free technologies such as CompAir’s Ultima, D‑Series, or DX‑Series reliably minimize this risk and, when combined with intelligent heat recovery, deliver noticeable savings quickly.

Key Benefits of Oil‑Free Compressors:

  • Low operating costs: No oil changes and reduced filtration and air treatment requirements.
  • Environmentally friendly: Meets the strictest international environmental standards.
  • Low maintenance: No oil and fewer moving parts reduce downtime.
  • ISO‑certified air quality: ISO Class 1 or ISO Class 0 purity levels.
  • Quiet operation: Fewer moving parts mean less noise and vibration.

Oil‑free for Reduced Contamination

Oil‑Free Performance for Maximum Efficiency and Minimal Operating Costs

Oil‑free technology offers numerous advantages and helps energy managers achieve valuable cost savings while simultaneously improving operational efficiency. Total life‑cycle costs decrease because companies save on air treatment and oil changes. Unlike oil‑lubricated systems, no additional equipment is required to remove oil from the air, such as oil separators, filtration systems, or condensate treatment.

CompAir’s portfolio delivers 100% oil‑free performance and includes both fixed‑speed and variable‑speed (RS) models, available in air‑ and water‑cooled versions, including:

  • D15H (RS) to D37H (RS): Single‑stage, water‑injected models from 15 to 37 kW
  • D37 (RS) to D160 (RS): Two‑stage models from 37 to 160 kW
  • Ultima U55 to U160: Two‑stage premium‑efficiency models from 55 to 160 kW
  • DX200 (RS) to DX355 (RS): Two‑stage models from 200 to 355 kW

This portfolio includes air‑ and water‑cooled models from 15 to 37 kW and is available in both fixed‑speed and regulated‑speed (RS) versions — ensuring maximum reliability, high energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, and high‑quality oil‑free compressed air.

Ultima Series

Ultima: Maximum Energy Efficiency and 100% Oil‑Free Compressed Air Performance

The Ultima series from CompAir uses two highly efficient permanent‑magnet motors that operate without a gearbox and achieve efficiency levels above IE5. The closed water‑cooling system ensures optimal heat transfer and the highest air purity, as virtually no oil is required in the system.

As the world’s first air‑cooled oil‑free solution with heat recovery, Ultima can utilize up to 98% of the compression heat for process water—resulting in savings of around €80,000 compared to competitor models.

D37 (RS) to D160 (RS)

100% oil‑free compression, durable hard coating, and robust performance.

DX200 (RS) to DX355 (RS)

Highly efficient compressor stages, industry‑leading output capacities, and additional energy savings thanks to water‑cooled E‑variants.

The series delivers up to 8% more flow than industry standards and saves up to 7% energy at fixed speed and up to 8% with variable speed.

The Xe controllers provide intuitive operation, extended functionality, and remote access via web browser. Variable‑speed models can intelligently network up to four compressors—ensuring maximum efficiency and a stable compressed air supply.

Unlock Additional Efficiency Potential with Oil‑Free Technology and Heat Recovery

Maximum Energy Savings Through Oil‑Free Technologies and Efficient Heat Recovery

Oil‑free solutions not only support ambitious sustainability goals but also unlock significant energy savings. Up to 94% of the energy required to operate a compressor is converted into heat — and with CompAir’s heat‑recovery systems, this valuable energy can be reused efficiently.

Companies can generate hot water up to 85 °C for process heat, space heating, or steam preconditioning, while significantly reducing their energy costs. Thanks to flexible retrofit options and with no impact on compressed air performance, many operations achieve payback on their investment in less than one year.

Do you know Ultima?

Ultima™: The Most Efficient Way to Achieve 100% Oil‑Free Compressed Air

Ultima™ is a groundbreaking PureAir compressor offering revolutionary energy efficiency. Its unique design uses both low‑pressure and high‑pressure compression stages. Each stage is driven individually by a variable‑speed permanent‑magnet synchronous motor, delivering exceptionally high efficiency compared to conventional technologies.

10 Reasons Why You Can’t Ignore ULTIMA

  1. Digital drive concept — the ULTIMA(tively) most economical way to generate compressed air, offering 13% savings potential.
  2. The Ultima(tively) smallest way to generate compressed air — 37% smaller than the industry standard.
  3. Ultima air‑cooled: best in class — the Ultima(tive) quiet zone among compressors.
  4. Greater planning flexibility — upgradeable between 75 and 160 kW.
  5. Optional heat recovery for both air‑cooled and water‑cooled models.
  6. Hybrid cooling — maximum flexibility with air and water cooling.
  7. Heat‑of‑compression — lowest pressure dew points without additional energy consumption.
  8. Assure service & warranty.
  9. iConn proactive maintenance.
  10. Ultima(tive) compressor stages made in Germany — high performance year after year.

Highly Efficient Two‑Stage Compression with the DX Series

Users benefit from up to 8% more flow, up to 7% energy savings, and absolutely pure compressed air — available as fixed‑speed or variable‑speed models, and with air‑ or water‑cooling, from 200 to 355 kW.

Why the Oil‑Free DX Series Stands Out

  • Modern compressor stage delivering up to 8% higher flow rate
  • Up to 7% (FS) and 5% (RS) energy savings
  • Premium variants for maximum efficiency
  • Variable Speed models with up to 71% turndown
  • Wide range of options and custom‑engineered solutions
  • Optional heat recovery for additional savings
  • iConn remote monitoring included as standard
  • ASSURE service program for maximum operational reliability
