If you determine the size and type of compressor, but there is a problem is the choice of oil lubrication or oil-free air compressor.
In order not to make the answer too complicated, your choice should be based on the application of compressed air.
Do I need an oil-free compressor?
The first step in selecting a compressor is to evaluate the needs of the equipment. In some cases, the consequences of oil pollution is too high, in this case the use of oil-free air compressor is necessary. However, most manufacturing industries, industrial plants and small workshops are suitable for the use of oil-lubricated compressors, because the consequences of oil contamination in these applications will not be as serious as the consequences of contaminated food production facilities.
The role of the oil in the air compressor is to lubricate, seal and cool the compressed air. If there is no exact need to use oil-free compressed air, a more economical method is to use oil-lubricated compressors such as oil-injected screw compressors. Oil-free compressors are much more expensive than oil-lubricated compressors.
Although there are traces of oil in compressed air, these oils can be filtered through the use of appropriate air filtration products. The use of coalescing filter can purify the dust contained in the compressed air to 0.01 microns. If the activated carbon filter is further purified, the air cleanliness level 1 can be achieved. How to judge the cleanliness of air? Oil-free air compressors are used to produce a variety of oil-sensitive products, such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and paper.
In the production process of these products, even a small amount of oil may have an adverse effect on the product and even people. Class 0 oil-free (Class 0) and "technical oil-free" are usually used to indicate that the compressor meets the oil-free requirements of certain standards. Although these terms are similar, if their key differences are not considered, they may lead to unintended consequences. To better understand all this, let's take a deeper look at what "oil-free" means.
Oil-free is used to describe a compressor in which the compression chamber of the compressor does not use any lubrication. This term describes a type of compressor. Class 0 and "technical oil-free" indicate the cleanliness of the air after being filtered. There are some important differences between the two, which we will explain later in this article.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets global standards for civil, industrial and commercial products. The compressed air industry also has its own set of ISO standards. According to the final air cleanliness (determined by the number of particles per cubic meter and considering the particle size), the compressed air cleanliness level ISO is divided into six levels: 0-5. The original 1991 version of the ISO compressed air purity standard was developed by filter manufacturers and tailored for their filter products, with only five grades of cleanliness based on oil content, the best of which is Grade 1. ISO cleanliness level 1: compressed air with technical oil-free cleanliness level 1 stipulates that the oil content is 0.01 mg/m3 at 1bar (a) and 20 ℃. when compressed air meets this standard through filtration, it is called "technical oil-free". the standard was revised in 2001 and updated in 2010.
Current standards set limits for oil content (aerosols, liquid oils and oil vapors) and specify specific measurement criteria for oil vapors. The new ISO standard adds a new level of cleanliness (class 0) to meet more stringent quality requirements. Level 0 is the cleanest level.
They can guarantee 100 percent oil-free air. There are some misconceptions in the industry that promote oil-lubricated compressors with filters, calling them "technically oil-free" and claiming that air quality is often better than oil-free compressors. These claims are untrue, and accidental damage to sensitive products and equipment can occur when Class 0 clean air is required but only Class 1 air is used.
When choosing an oil-free compressor, make sure to choose a 0-stage oil-free compressor instead of a "technical oil-free" product. Although the initial price of a 0-stage oil-free compressor is usually higher, this option is much safer in sensitive applications.
If it is level 0 compressed air, you can ensure that your terminal equipment will never be contaminated and that your equipment assets are protected. When choosing an oil-free or oil-lubricated air compressor, the best practice is always to seek the advice of a compressed air professional.
Aseptic product production gas requirements and water lubricated single screw air compressor adaptability analysis Aseptic product production of compressed air quality requirements are extremely stringent, its core is to ensure that the compressed air oil-free, sterile, dust-free, to avoid pollution to the production environment and products.
The reasonable range of the vibration value of the air compressor can be different according to different standards and requirements. Generally speaking, when the motor is no-load, the vibration value and vibration speed of the motor will be measured, and the vibration value of the motor should usually be less than 0.03. For 75kw air compressor, its standard
To judge whether the air compressor has oil or no oil, the following methods can be used to comprehensively identify: 1. appearance and structure oil level gauge/oil filler air compressor with oil: oil level gauge, oil filler or oil filter are clearly visible (as shown in the figure below). Oil-free air compressor: no oil level gauge, more compact design (
Air compressors are widely used in many industries. The following are examples of applications in some major industries: Manufacturing: A variety of mechanical equipment is widely used in the manufacturing industry, and air compressors provide power for these equipment, such as pneumatic tools and mechanical arms., Automated production line
The permanent magnet screw air compressor has significant advantages in energy efficiency and stability by virtue of the combination of permanent magnet synchronous motor and screw compression structure, while the Granklin water-lubricated single screw air compressor is further optimized on this basis and achieves more outstanding comprehensive performance through innovative design.
Oil-free air compressor, as the name suggests, is an air compressor that does not require oil lubrication during operation. This kind of air compressor is mainly used to provide power or compressed air, and is widely used in various scenarios that require air sources but require avoiding oil pollution. Oil-free
As an important equipment in industrial production, the energy efficiency of air compressor is affected by many factors. The following is a detailed analysis of the main factors affecting the energy efficiency of air compressors: compressor design and type: The design specifications and types of air compressors have a direct impact on their energy efficiency.
The buffer tank of the air compressor belongs to the pressure vessel. The buffer tank is one of the important parts of the air compressor. Its main function is to reduce the pulsation in the exhaust process of the air compressor, convert the pressure energy of the gas into kinetic energy, and reduce the vibration of the pipeline. To achieve this effect, the buffer tank
The electroplating process does require the use of air compressors. Electroplating is a process that uses the principle of electrolysis to plate a thin layer of other metals or alloys on the surface of certain metals, which requires the use of an air compressor to provide compressed air.

In the process of food production, compressed air is an important auxiliary tool, which is widely used and critical. However, the issue of whether compressed air can come into direct contact with food is related to food safety and product quality and must be treated with caution. Shanghai Granklin Group
