Compressed air is an essential energy source, with up to 70% of industries using it for some aspect of their operations.
Businesses relying on compressed air for their manufacturing processes cannot compromise on the level of air purity, because any contamination could jeopardise the quality or safety of the product.
When you choose an oil-free compressor from CompAir, you don't only get the benefits of a guaranteed, clean air supply.
Our oil-free technologies also bring with them significant energy savings and environmental benefits so are becoming a preferred choice for operators keen to improve their carbon footprint.
Typical uses of compressed air in the manufacturing industry include:
Spray finishing equipment — to vaporise paint so it can be applied to components and products
Air operated tools — air tools are preferred to electric tools as they are light and easy to handle
Air operated lifting equipment — air hoists can be used for a multitude of lifting operations
Shot blasting — air is used to propel grit or shot for blasting and cleaning operations
Cooling & heating — air is used in a vortex tube to create high volumes of hot and cold air for industrial heating and cooling processes
Cleaning — air is used for cleaning processes in
Industrial Rotary Sliding Vane Compressors
The Hydrovane series rotary sliding vane compressors are reliable, versatile, powerful and cost effective.
Constant improvements in technology and ever increasing demands for energy saving features mean things have to change. Our engineers challenged themselves to do something better. Retain the features which make Hydrovane a great product, admired by thousands of owners worldwide, but take it forwa
The Rotary Vane Principle
The rotor, has a number of slots machined along its length into which fit sliding vanes that ride on a film of oil. The rotor rotates within a cylindrical stator. During rotation, centrifugal force extends the vanes from their slots, forming individual compression cells. Rotation decreases the cell volume, increasing the air pressure.
The heat generated by compression is controlled by pressurised oil injection. The only continually moving part is the rotor, which is directly driven at very low speed (1450rpm), offering unrivalled reliability. The main benefit of this technology means that vane compressors last for a very long time and are an extremely reliable & proven technology.

The high pressure air is discharged through the outlet port with the remaining traces of oil removed by the final oil separator.

When we speak of utilities, gas, water, and electricity are the first to come to mind. However, for professionals in the manufacturing industry, compressed air plays a vital part in almost all production processes. It is the backbone of many industrial applications and provides the necessary power to complete a range of jobs that are essential for many businesses.
For this reason, compressed air is considered by many in the industry as the fourth utility.
From the clean water that comes from the tap to the spray paint on your car, compressed air plays a major role in the modern world and is often the hidden source of power behind things that we rely on each day!
As compressed air systems play such an important role in many businesses, it is essential for owners to seek out opportunities to reduce energy and operating costs in relation to their compressed air production. In fact, energy makes up 70% of a compressor system’s total cost!
For this reason, choosing a compressor with the correct power, pressure, and capacity to suit your needs is essential in keeping costs low and reducing your carbon footprint. Read on for professional advice on choosing lubricated or oil-free, specifying a size, and selecting a technology.
