Oil-free compressors

Boge has extended their K series oil-free piston compressor range with the addition of 15 and 40 bar options. The K series provides the smaller air user with a compact, energy- and cost-effective, oil-free compressor solution.

The K series compressors utilise a horizontally mounted cylinder, and a centrally located crankshaft operates a push rod principal, ensuring the piston remains parallel in the cylinder. This reduces the cylinder-ring wear experienced in conventional systems.

As an oil-free compressor, the K series reduces the downstream treatment required and all the associated costs. Service times and standard service parts required are also reduced considerably. Additionally, the K series operates on a stop/start basis, controlled by a standard Boge electronic controller which further ensures the most efficient use of energy.

The K series does not use an oil-lubricated crosshead drive and so, as a 100% oil-free piston compressor, this range is suitable for industries such as food, beverage, medical and pharmaceutical, where oil-free compressed air is paramount. The package, with acoustic canopy, can be receiver mounted and requires a minimal footprint.

The K series is available as a 10, 15 or 40 bar compressor with effective, free air deliveries ranging from 244 to 648 L/min, with motors ranging from 2.2 to 5.5 kW.
