How can we help you?
Clean air is crucial for various applications. Even a tiny bit of oil can spoil products or harm equipment. Depending on the application, one specific compressed air technology might provide advantages over another. Gardner Denver offers you the flexibility to choose from various oil-free compressor technologies that suit your needs, including rotary screw, scroll, and reciprocating options.
Unlike oil-lubricated compressors, oil-free/oil-less air compressors have no oil present in the compression chamber, eliminating the risk of oil contaminating the compressed air.. Oil-less air compressors go a step further and have no oil anywhere in the package. Each highly engineered product results in pure, highest-quality compressed air.
Oil-lubricated air compressors use oil in the compression stage for sealing, lubrication and cooling. During operation, lubricating oil can be carried over into the compressed air system. A thorough understanding of compressed air quality and testing standards is therefore indispensable when designing your system to achieve the purity levels your application requires. Which standards you should apply will depend on the specific contaminants you aim to remove and the purification equipment you will rely on to do so.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) sets these standards and the ISO quality classes of air will help you determine whether or not you need an oil-free compressor. If your air quality requirements and oil carryover concerns dictate oil-free, the investment in an oil-free or oil-less air compressor will deliver the product quality that is demanded and valuable peace-of-mind.
When evaluating oil-free air compressors, you will be presented with options such as single-stage, two-stage, water-injected single-stage, and scroll technology choices. These technologies do overlap in certain horsepower ranges, but typically only two to three will be available for a given horsepower or flow size. Determining the size of oil-free air compressor you need first will help in your decision process.
As always, reach out to your local, authorized Gardner Denver distributor for assistance in evaluating which oil-free or oil-less air compressor is best suited for your specific application.
More major global manufacturers are now in this segment with traditional technology offerings and new products demonstrating better performance and a host of other key features and benefits. If you are after expense savings and better profitability, you are more likely to achieve these objectives now than in the past given the new oil-free technologies and the products that have accompanied them.

Ultima is a ground-breaking, revolutionary oil-free air compressor. The design of this compressor range from Gardner Denver utilizes low-pressure and high-pressure dry screw airends. Each airend is individually driven by a variable speed, permanent magnet synchronous motor. This offers exceptional levels of efficiency versus traditional oil-free technology.
