Top 10 Oil Free Air Compressors

Chinese electrically driven piston compressor, which has become one of the bestsellers in Russia. This fact is due to the fact that domestic users have begun to trust Chinese technology, which is inexorably approaching European and even Japanese in terms of quality. Despite the low power (only 0.81 kW), PATRIOT WO 24-160 provides air compression up to 8 bar at a capacity of 160 liters per minute. For small businesses, such indicators will not be enough, but for a garage or home workshop - just right.

It is also noteworthy that the Chinese developers (unlike the German ones) were not stingy to equip the model with an elementary dial gauge and a pressure regulator, which is an ordinary shut-off valve. Also, an indirect advantage of the PATRIOT WO 24-160 is its low weight (19 kilograms), which fully corresponds to the small dimensions of the equipment.

An expensive and high-quality compressor from ABAC is a rather rare occurrence in this market niche, the whole feature of which lies in issuing the maximum from a 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. Part of this volume of exhaust air is used to fill the complete receiver with a volume of 24 liters, which is very appropriate when a large air flow is required for ongoing operations.

ABAC Pole Position O20P is the ideal compressor for the home, requiring little space and allowing you to perform almost any manipulation of pneumatic equipment. It is this version that the majority of 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 this (especially for the sake of durability) can be put up with.

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

Let's talk in advance: it's not worth waiting for some unique additions to the standard set of "compressor-receiver" - it's good that a simple dial gauge was included in the kit. All the charm of Fubag OL 195/24 CM1,5, according to reviews, lies in the ergonomic parameters and "thoroughbred" German quality, which makes the use of the model long and very pleasant. 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.

The compressor manufactured by the Italian company Quattro Elementi has become a favorite unit purchased by domestic buyers for a garage or home workshop. Finished in the company's standard colours, the SENZA-24 has all the essential features of a good compressor to handle the toughest special purpose air 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, considering that the performance is limited to 200 liters per minute. Among other things, 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 significant advantages of Quattro Elementi SENZA-24, consumers also note the presence of a pressure regulator, a safety valve, a built-in overheat protection relay and an informative pressure gauge.

The oil-free compressor with two cylinders produces up to 140 liters per minute with a pressure of 8 atm. The maximum speed of the electric motor ― 1400 rpm. The pump is located on the receiver with a volume of 6 liters. A safety valve is provided for safety. There is a rubberized carry handle. The connection between the compressor and the receiver is made through damper inserts that reduce the level of vibration. On the floor, the unit is also located on rubber pads, so the overall volume level is 59 dB.

The reviews praise the build quality of the model, flexible hoses with a strong braid. The owners note that the aluminum filter is additionally protected by an anodized coating. If you pump the receiver with air, after a week it will have the same pressure - nothing poisons anywhere. The sound of operation is really quiet - in the next room you already need to listen to understand whether the device is turned on or not. Customers also like the convenience of draining condensate. In terms of energy consumption, this is the most economical model with an indicator of 0.75 kW per hour.

One of the two representatives of the Belarusian company Remeza, the main feature of which is a large number of connected posts. While other representatives of the segment allow connection of only five guard lines, KS10-8-270D can provide eight required 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 performance.With a maximum of 7.5 kW, the pressure in the system can reach 8 bar, which is quite suitable for powering pneumatic screwdrivers or pumps within a small service station or other pneumatic equipment in small enterprises. In general, in the case of Remeza KS10-8-270D, everything points to attempts by manufacturers to create a kind of “delicate” compressor with the functions of fine cleaning and dehumidification of air. And everything in it would be fine ... if it were not for the overly high price, which scares away the bulk of potential buyers.

Miniature high compression electric compressor, ideal for garage or home installation. With a power of 3 kW, 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 capacious (for its dimensions) 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 pursues the nuances that are characteristic of all installations of the same plan: low-performance, compact, but capable of creating high pressure in the system. One of these is a high noise level of 72 dB, equivalent to loud talking or shouting. In general, apart from the lack of noise, this unit cannot be faulted - it weighs little (about 177 kilograms), is inexpensive, and breaks extremely rarely, which is also noted in the owners' reviews.

Among the oil-free air compressors, there are also very compact versions that are convenient to carry around. Denzel DL1100 has dimensions of 39x40x15 cm and weighs only 6.5 kg. The gun with a pressure gauge and the hose are folded inside the body in a special niche. Outside, there is only one start button and a handle for transportation. Despite its tiny size, a single-cylinder compressor produces up to 180 liters of air per minute, creating a pressure of 8 atm. The color scale of the pressure gauge is convenient for quick orientation.

The absence of a receiver is both an advantage and a disadvantage. It does not need to be looked after, to remove condensate, but there is no supply of compressed air either. Most often, this oil-free belt-driven compressor is bought for inflating tires or blowing out tool cases. The kit comes with several nozzles. In the reviews, the owners share that there are tips for all types of nipples. Everyone likes its portability and affordable price.

A visually stunning electric air compressor that has become an integral part of workshops requiring compressed air. This is the case when not the operational parameters, but a high degree of reliability of the entire unit as a whole and each individual element in particular, are called upon to compensate for the high cost requests of a well-known manufacturer.

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

Belarusian air compressor of oil-free type, the main positive characteristics of which are high performance and reasonable purchase price. Of the entire list of presented nominees, Remeza VK20T-15-500 is the only model with a power of 15 kW and providing system pressure up to 15 bar. An electric three-phase motor is responsible for the stability of work during the entire period of operation, the resource of which is calculated (according to the manufacturers) for 15-20 years of moderate use.

According to users, it would be extremely unreasonable to purchase such a unit for a garage, unless its area allows you to open a solid size service station, for which the nominal characteristics will be quite enough. Of the other features of the model, we highlight a 500-liter receiver, as well as a moderate level of noise produced, not exceeding 77 dB.
