Oil-free, compact and powerful
March 1st 2008

Available from Dürr Technik, the KK40 range of oil-free, small compressors is particularly relevant to those working in the water treatment technology market sector.

These small compressors are described as power-packed. They offer a reliable air supply which is independent from the compressed air system and are at the same time virtually maintenance free and continuous running.

The compressors (single-phase) deliver 65L/min oil-free compressed air at 0 bar. The two cylinder models produce double the delivery rate, and generate a maximum pressure of 10 bar.

Importantly, they offer low life cycle costs. Due to their compact design, they can be easily 'packaged' into a system even where there is very little space for the compressor. They are designed for 100% duty cycle at 7 bar, and an ambient temperature to 55° C. Motors are available in protection class IP00 or IP 54 dependant on the model selected.

The oil-free technology guarantees high functionality and reliability and is environmentally friendly. Dürr Technik points out that the oil-free compressed air allows nozzles and valves to operate correctly without oil contamination, obviating the need for time-consuming maintenance for oil changes and services.

The company, a specialist in oilfree piston compressors and vacuum pumps will shortly be introducing a DC version and a vacuum pump in the KK40 range.
