Boge Compressors

Oil-free compressors have been designed specifically for applications where clean, pure air is critical, resulting in high-quality air for your end product. We know that in many industries, air purity is critical. Even the tiniest drop of oil can cause product spoilage or damage production equipment. That is why it is always important to consider your production process and end product when choosing an air compressor. More and more businesses are looking to oil-free compressors as a reputable source of providing clean compressed air.

Oil-free compressors use various technologies that bypass the need for oil. In oil-lubricated compressors, oil is used in the compression chamber to cool and seal the air. Oil-free compressors, no matter what type of technology is being used, will have no oil ever used in the compression chamber. This eliminates the risk of contamination and ensures 100% air purity!

Aside from a completely risk-free operation, some of the core benefits of choosing oil-free compressors are:

Low cost of ownership

Save on the costs of oil replacements as well as equipment used to clean and separate oil from air such as oil separators, filtration equipment and condensate treatment.

Environmentally friendly

Oil-free compressors are more compliant with international environmental regulations than lubricated systems, making for an environmentally conscious compressor choice.

Low maintenance

No oil and fewer moving parts mean less maintenance and fewer areas for problems to occur. Oil-free compressors are often used as industrial compressors for this very reason.

ISO Certified Air Quality

All of our air compressors meet either ISO Class 1 or ISO Class 0 air purity.

Quiet by design

Due to the limited amount of moving parts, they produce less noise pollution and less vibration.

Air compressors are devices used to compress air using piston compressors. They draw in air through an inlet valve and compress it to the desired volume. The clean compressed air is then discharged through a valve into a storage tank. Typically, an electric motor powers the compression process.

There are two primary methods of air displacement used in compressed air treatment:

1. Positive Displacement: This is the most common compression method. Positive displacement compressors work by forcing air into a confined space using a mechanical device or mechanism.
2. Dynamic Displacement: In contrast to positive displacement compressors, dynamic displacement compressors operate by accelerating the air to high velocity. This increased speed generates energy, which subsequently leads to the buildup of air pressure.

These different displacement methods offer varying advantages and applications in different scenarios. Understanding the distinctions between positive and dynamic displacement can help determine the appropriate choice for specific compressed air system requirements.

Your Boge air compressor is a vital investment for your business, and proper care is essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. One crucial aspect of maintenance is equipping it with the right compressed air accessories that enhance its functionality and longevity.

Outlined below are three indispensable accessories that will significantly improve performance:

Compressed Air Regulator:

Air compressors demand substantial energy, and different applications require varying air volumes. Inaccurate air pressure can potentially harm different components within the system. Therefore, maintaining precise air supply pressure is vital regardless of the application.

A compressed air regulator effectively controls the pressure, providing the exact amount of air required for your specific needs. It can adapt to the devices connected to the supply line, ensuring optimal pressure for downstream components.

High-Performance Filter:

Compressed air within your system often carries contaminants, such as particles, aerosols, and vapours, which exist in the natural environment. These impurities pose a problem regardless of your application.

The primary function of a filter is to eliminate contaminants from the air in industrial compressors. The choice of filter depends on the machine and application, typically involving coalescing filters, vapour removal filters, and dry particulate filters. Selecting the appropriate filter type is crucial for maintaining air quality.

Air Dryer:

Excessive moisture within the Boge air compressors’ system can cause damage to equipment and components. The moisture acts as a corrosive agent, leading to rust formation and facilitating mould growth. While detrimental to any application, it becomes particularly problematic in sectors like healthcare or food, where stricter standards apply.

By incorporating air dryers into your Boge compressors’ system, you can prevent these issues. Two common types of dryers are desiccant dryers and refrigerated dryers. Understanding when and how to integrate a dryer into your Boge air compressor system is crucial for mitigating moisture-related problems.
