Oil-free piston compressors

Boge has extended the 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 new models incorporate the same proven compressor technology utilised in developing the K series oil-free piston compressors. The cylinder is mounted horizontally and a centrally located crankshaft operates a push rod principle, ensuring the piston remains parallel in the cylinder. This innovation reduces cylinder ring wear experienced in all conventional systems.

The K series design provides a compressor solution for the smaller compressed air user. 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, unlike most piston compressors, 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, so as a 100% oil-free piston compressor this range is particularly suited to industries such as the food, drink, medical and pharmaceutical sectors, where oil-free compressed air is paramount.

The package, with acoustic canopy, can be receiver mounted and requires a minimal footprint underpinning its versatility in, for example, point-of-use applications.

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