OIL LUBRICATED AIR COMPRESSOR TECHNOLOGY 

Oil lubricated compressors, also known as oil injected air compressors, require lubrication to ensure smooth operation and longevity of the equipment. Lubricated air compressors utilize oil as a lubricating medium to reduce friction, prevent wear, maintain seal integrity, provide cooling, and protect against corrosion.

The oil film created by lubrication minimizes friction between the moving components of the compressor, allowing for efficient and reliable operation. This lubrication prevents direct metal-to-metal contact, reducing wear on pistons, rotors, or vanes and extending the overall lifespan of the compressor.

Oil lubricated air compressor also helps in the compression process by sealing gaps and cooling the compressed air. This prevents overheating of the compressor.

Some of the main activities in lubricated compressors are regular monitoring of oil levels, adherence to maintenance schedules, and following manufacturer guidelines for oil changes are essential to maintaining proper lubrication in oil-lubricated compressors. These oil flooded air compressors are widely used in various applications due to their proven reliability, ability to handle different operating conditions, and the benefits provided by lubricating oil.

ELGi’s lubricated rotary screw air compressors are designed to deliver air with the lowest oil carryover in the industry. Using ELGi’s downstream filters, the oil carryover can be further reduced to achieve high-quality output air suitable for industrial applications. This process enables you to get industrial grade compressed air for industrial use such as manufacturing, food and beverage, and automotive.
