- Medical: Atlas Copco offers highly reliable, oil-free air compressors designed for the medical industry. Our solutions ensure a continuous supply of pure, contamination-free air, crucial for patient safety and the operation of sensitive medical equipment.
Variants of Rotary Screw Air Compressors:
- Oil-lubricated Screw Air Compressors
Oil-lubricated compressors inject oil into the compression chamber, which cools and lubricates the compressor element, helps to remove the heat of compression, and minimizes leakage. These compressors are chosen for their continuous operation capability, low oil carryover, and minimal capacity loss over time. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial purposes.
- Oil-Free Screw Air Compressors: Fixed Speed, Dual-Speed or Variable Speed Drive Operation
Oil-free compressors do not use oil in the process, making them ideal for sensitive industrial applications where air purity is critical, such as in the food and beverage or pharmaceutical industries. These compressors still use lubricants for other processes, like motor cooling, but some variants use water as an alternative lubricant. Oil-free types are known for their reliability, efficiency, and ability to deliver the highest air purity at the lowest TCO.
