10 best oil-free air compressors

Compressors are productive electrical installations that convert electrical energy into pneumatic force energy to ensure the working conditions of a special tool. They have found widespread use in the household and at the enterprises, since they have the property of efficiency, allowing you to connect to the general highway several different tools with a pneumatic drive.

Oil-free air compressors are a good alternative to lubricated units, since their design uses materials with low friction coefficients and low susceptibility to frictional wear. At this stage of development of the market, over a hundred manufacturers around the world are engaged in the production of such models, and the number of the original product exceeds the threshold of ten thousand units. After a thorough analysis of this market niche, we have compiled for you a rating of the best oil-free compressors that have received the highest ratings from users and experts.

Best Oil Free Coaxial Compressors

5 PATRIOT WO 24-160

Chinese piston compressor with electric drive, which became one of the best-selling in Russia. This fact is due to the fact that domestic users have begun to place greater trust in Chinese technology, which inevitably comes close in terms of quality to European and even Japanese. Despite the low power (only 0.81 kW), PATRIOT WO 24-160 provides air compression to 8 bar with a capacity of 160 liters per minute. For small businesses, these indicators will not be enough, but for the garage or home workshop - just right.

Remarkable is the fact that the Chinese developers (unlike the German ones) did not stint equip the model with an elementary dial gauge and pressure regulator, which is an ordinary stop valve. Also an indirect advantage of PATRIOT WO 24-160 is the low weight (19 kilograms), which fully corresponds to the small dimensions of the equipment.

4 ABAC Pole Position O20P

The expensive and high-quality compressor from the ABAC company is a rather rare phenomenon in this niche of the market, the whole feature of which lies in issuing the maximum from the minimum set of components. The electric motor included in the kit produces 1.5 kW of power, at which the performance of the entire system reaches an impressive 230 liters per minute. A part of this volume of exhausted air is used to fill a complete receiver with a volume of 24 liters, which is very appropriate, if necessary, with a large air flow rate for operations.

ABAC Pole Position O20P is an ideal compressor for the home, requiring little space and allowing you to perform almost any manipulations with pneumatic equipment. This is exactly the version that most consumers adhere to, noting in their reviews both the convenience of work, the reliability of the elements, and a good design. According to them, the model lacks a little loyalty in terms of price and additional options, but with this (especially in favor of the durability of operation) can be tolerated.

3 Fubag OL 195/24 CM1,5

An interesting version of the compressor unit from the German company Fubag, offering users moderate technical parameters, coupled with a pleasant external data. The power characteristic of the OL 195/24 CM1.5 rests on the value of 1.1 kW, at which the minute output is an impressive 180 liters. Standard pressure, 8 bar, sufficient for simple installation work on the premises or in the garage.

We speak in advance: it’s not worth waiting for any unique additions to the standard “compressor-receiver” kit - it’s good that a simple dial gauge was included in the kit. The charm of Fubag OL 195/24 CM1,5, according to reviews, lies in the ergonomic parameters and the “thoroughbred” German quality, which makes using the model a long and very pleasant one. Yes, and price requests this time pleasantly surprise not only buyers, but also experts who have seen more than a dozen paradoxes in the segment.

2 Quattro Elementi SENZA-24

The compressor manufactured by the Italian company Quattro Elementi has become a favorite unit purchased by domestic buyers for a garage or home workshop. Sustained in standard colors of the company, SENZA-24 has all the necessary characteristics of a good compressor, which allows it to work with unpretentious special-purpose pneumatic tools.

The rated power of the electric motor is 1.5 kW, at which the pressure in the system can reach 8 bar. Not bad, given that performance is limited to 200 liters per minute. In addition, the kit with a piston compressor and engine includes a small receiver with a volume of 24 liters - standard, like other representatives of this segment. As a significant advantage of Quattro Elementi SENZA-24, consumers also note the presence of a pressure regulator, a safety valve, an integrated overheating protection relay and an informative pressure gauge.

1 ZUBR ZKP-230-50-2.5

Reciprocating two-cylinder compressor with an oil-free electric motor, which has the best power and output performance in its segment.At 2.5 kW, it provides a pressure of 8 bar and releases up to 230 liters of compressed air per minute into the line. It has a very capacious (for its category) receiver of 50 liters, the volume of which will be sufficient for the operation of the spray gun and other miniature pneumatic elements.

Judging by expert reviews, ZUBR ZKP-230-50-2.5 is a very successful combination of price, quality and performance, embellished with small "chips" such as the ability to control the air pressure at the outlet, as well as the ability to connect five low-demand posts. For users, however, in the first place were indicators of convenience of work and movement, coupled with a pleasant price tag.

5 Remeza KS10-8-270D

One of the two representatives of the Belarusian company Remeza, the main feature of which is the large number of connected posts. While the rest of the segment representatives allow connection of only five guard lines, KC10-8-270D can provide eight necessary places with compressed air at once with its preliminary filtration.

As for the operating parameters of the unit, it cannot boast of either power or output. At 7.5 kW at maximum, the pressure in the system can reach 8 bar, which is quite suitable for energizing pneumatic screwdrivers or pumps as part of small service stations or other pneumatic equipment in small enterprises. In general, in the case of Remeza KS10-8-270D, everything points to the attempts of manufacturers to create a kind of “delicate” compressor with functions of fine cleaning and dehumidification of air. And everything in it would be fine ... if it were not for the excessively high price that scares the bulk of potential buyers.

4 Ekomak DMD 40 CR 13

A miniature, high compression electric compressor that is ideally suited as a garage or home installation. With a capacity of 3 kW, the Ekomak DMD 40 CR 13 allows you to create a pressure of 13 bar, which is a good result even against the background of more productive competitors. It is distinguished by the presence of a rather roomy (for its size) receiver, the volume of which is 300 liters with the possibility of spending air on three posts.

According to experts, Ekomak DMD 40 CR 13 pursue nuances characteristic of all installations of the same plan: inefficient, compact, but capable of creating high pressure in the system. One of these is a high noise level of 72 dB, equivalent to loud talk or shout. In general, apart from the lack of noise, it is impossible to complain about this unit - it weighs a little (about 177 kilograms), it is inexpensive, and it rarely breaks, which is also noticed in the owners' reviews.

3 Comprag AirStation A-1110

Screw electric compressor of oil-free type, designed for stationary placement and addition with a separate tank of the receiver. Differs in compact overall dimensions (70x90x117 centimeters) and the accompanying good performance indicators: 11 kW of power and 10 bar of pressure. Performance Comprag AirStation A-1110 at the output of 1400 liters of compressed air per minute, which is enough (provided the equipment is a capacious receiver with a volume of 500 liters) for comfortable work in the conditions of the service station.

For a house, the characteristics of this model will suffice with a large excess: it is good if at least a third of its nominal characteristics are subject to disclosure during domestic use. In their reviews, users positively note the cost of the unit, its compactness, as well as the low level of noise emitted during operation, which barely reaches 67 dB.If the kit were supplied at least some small reserve tank, the Comprag AirStation A-1110 could easily compete for leadership in its category.

2 ABAC MICRON 11 10-500

An electric air compressor of great visual performance that has become an integral part of workshops with the need for compressed air supply. This is the very case when it is not the operational parameters that are called to compensate for the high cost inquiries of a eminent manufacturer, but a high degree of reliability of the whole unit and each individual item in particular.

The power of the ABAC MICRON 11 10-500 screw compressor is an impressive 11 kW, at which it effortlessly forces up to 10 bar. The compressed air flow from the compressor installation enters the capacious receiver with a volume of 500 liters, from which it can be spent on the prescribed 5 posts. Despite its structurally compact design, this model produces quite a lot of noise (up to 78 dB), which is a small technical nuance. Otherwise, there are no complaints about it: consumers respond to the quality of work very positively, noting that the system is unpretentious for maintenance and other manipulations.

1 Remeza VK20T-15-500

The Belarusian oil-free air compressor, the main positive characteristics of which are high performance and an acceptable purchase price. Of the entire list of submitted nominees, Remeza VK20T-15-500 is the only model with a capacity of under 15 kW and providing system pressure up to 15 bar. For the stability of operation over the entire life cycle, an electric three-phase motor is responsible, the resource of which is calculated (according to manufacturers) for 15-20 years of moderate use.

According to users, it will be extremely unwise to purchase such a unit for a garage, unless its areas allow you to open solid service stations, for which the nominal characteristics will be quite enough. Of the other features of the model, we single out a 500-liter receiver, as well as a moderate level of noise produced, not exceeding the mark of 77 dB.
