These high output oil-free machines now cover a wide flow range from 14.6 to 28.3 m³/min. The DX90 to DX160 models are fixed speed and the DX90RS to DX160RS models are regulated speed.
Pressure range: 4 to 10.7 bar
Volume flow: Capacity of 6.7 to 28.3 m³/min
Motor power: 90 to 160 kW
🌀 Oil-Free Air Compressors: Best Choice for Pure Air
Oil-free air compressors are specifically engineered to deliver contaminant-free compressed air — meaning no oil carry-over in the output. This makes them ideal for industries where air purity is critical.
✅ Why Choose Oil-Free Compressors?
Key benefits:
100% pure, oil-less air — no oil vapors or residues
Improved product quality — essential in food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, medical, and semiconductor industries
Lower environmental impact — no oil to dispose of
Reduced downstream filtration needs — sometimes eliminates additional filtration units
Cleaner workplace — safer and healthier environment
🔩 What Is a Two-Stage Oil-Free Rotary Screw Compressor?
A two-stage oil-free rotary screw compressor uses a pair of intermeshing screw rotors in two compression stages to produce high-pressure compressed air without oil contamination at any point in the compression process.
📈 How It Works
Stage 1 – Low Pressure Compression
Incoming air enters between male and female rotors.
As rotors turn, air pockets shrink, increasing pressure.
Intercooling
Compressed air is cooled before entering second stage.
Cooling reduces compression heat and increases efficiency.
Stage 2 – High Pressure Compression
Air enters a second rotor stage.
Further compression achieves desired final pressure.
This two-stage method is more efficient at reaching high pressures than a single-stage design while keeping temperatures lower — which improves performance and reliability.
🧪 Advantages of Two-Stage Oil-Free Rotary Screw Compressors
