Oil-free DC compressors
High-tech for the most demanding requirements: DC compressors from Dürr Technik
Compressors are used in many areas of everyday life. Few people realise that they also play a role in buses and trains, helping to get people safely from A to B.
Piston compressors are the preferred choice for mobile applications because they are particularly durable and reliable. Thanks to the sophisticated oil-free technology that Dürr Technik uses in all its compressors, Dürr Technik’s oil-free DC compressors are also particularly low-maintenance. For these reasons, our oil-free DC compressors are popular with our customers for use in shipping, the automotive sector, construction machinery and many mobile industrial applications
Another prominent example is rail transport. Train manufacturers primarily use oil-free DC compressors for auxiliary air applications. They operate reliably even during continuous use. As neither oil level checks nor oil changes are required, the units do not require any maintenance. Furthermore, the operator saves on service costs and the disposal of used oil. The use of high-quality materials ensures minimal wear and results in an above-average service life for the components.
Advantages of our oil-free DC compressors
- Maintenance-free, cost-effective and environmentally friendly thanks to oil-free technology
- Higher availability and less downtime – older, oil-lubricated models require more maintenance
- Wide range of high-performance DC compressors available in various voltages
- 100% duty cycle (S1) even under extreme climatic conditions from -40°C to +70°C
- Simple installation – retrofitting made easy
Oil-free DC compressors in industry and the automotive sector
Industry: Our oil-free DC compressors are used across all industrial industries, e.g. the food industry, the drinks industry, the metalworking industry, paper manufacturing, printing works, pneumatic conveying, cement production, mechanical engineering, etc.
In the automotive sector / automotive industry: There is a wide range of applications here, e.g. for lift tables, tyre inflation, opening doors, as well as in exhaust after-treatment and for trailer brakes.
Oil-free DC compressors in the railway sector
For example, for controlling toilet doors, sanding systems, wheel flange lubrication or the signal horn. Complete auxiliary air supply systems are used to raise pantographs. Train manufacturers primarily use oil-free DC compressors for auxiliary air applications. They operate reliably even in continuous operation. As neither oil level checks nor oil changes are necessary, the units require no maintenance. Furthermore, the operator saves on service costs and the disposal of waste oil. The use of high-quality materials ensures minimal wear and results in an above-average service life for the components.
