Oil-free compressors are air compressors that operate without oil in the compression chamber. Oil-free compressors utilize other types of technology like water or Teflon-coated materials to lubricate the compressor chamber. The absence of oil in the compression chamber reduces the chance that your end-product and application will be contaminated by oil. The International Standards Organization (ISO) created ISO 8573-1 to measure quality […]
