Does oil-free lubricated screw air compressor need lubricating oil?

Oil-free lubricated screw air compressorNo need for lubrication, its core design concept is to achieve “oil-free operation” through special technical means. The following is a detailed explanation:

1. Working principle

Oil-lubricated screw air compressor passedRotary motion of screwThe key innovations of compressed air are:

  1. self-lubricating material: Screws and bearings are made of special wear-resistant materials (such as ceramics, special coatings, water lubrication) to reduce friction.
  2. gas-lubricated: Use compressed air itself as a lubricating medium to reduce running resistance through precise design.
  3. sealing technology: Adopt oil-free sealing structure to prevent lubricating oil from entering the compression chamber.

2. Core advantages

  1. Pure air: Completely eliminate lubricating oil pollution and apply to clean scenes such as medical, pharmaceutical, and food.
  2. low maintenance cost: There is no need to replace lubricating oil, oil filter and other components to reduce downtime and maintenance time.
  3. Environmental Protection and energy saving: No need for oil pollution treatment and reduce environmental pollution risks.

3. Application scenarios

  • medical industry: Drive ventilators and surgical equipment and provide sterile compressed air.
  • pharmaceutical industry: Comply with GMP regulations and avoid drug contamination.
  • food packaging: Ensure the safety of compressed air in contact with food.
  • electronics industry: Supply air to clean room equipment and prevent damage to precision components.

4. Market and technology trends

  • technological upgrading: Further improve the efficiency and life of oilless air compressors through new materials (such as graphene coatings) and aerodynamic optimization.
  • intelligent: Integrated IoT monitoring and predictive maintenance reduce failure risks.

summary: Oil-lubricated screw air compressors achieve operation without lubricating oil through self-lubricating materials, gas lubrication and sealing technology, and are especially suitable for industries with strict air quality requirements. Its low maintenance costs and high air cleanliness make it the preferred equipment in medical, pharmaceutical and other fields.
