EP-DW-130/8-A Oil Free Air Compressor

Guaranteed ISO 8573-1 Class 0 Oil Content

Unlike oil-injected machines that rely on downstream coalescers to reduce oil carryover, the EP-DW-130/8-A delivers ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free air directly at the discharge flange by design. There is no oil in the compression space — none to coalesce, filter, or monitor. This gives process engineers in pharmaceutical, food-grade, and electronics environments the unconditional air-quality guarantee their regulatory and customer audits demand, without the ongoing operational complexity of filter replacement schedules.

130 m³/min High-Volume Capacity

Very few industrial oil free air compressor machines in the piston category achieve 130 m³/min of oil-free delivery at 0.8 MPa from a single unit. This capacity covers the combined compressed-air demand of large multi-process facilities — several packaging lines, a cleanroom block, and instrument air headers simultaneously — without requiring parallel installation of multiple smaller machines, which would multiply maintenance points and complicate system control.

Simplified Downstream Air Treatment

When comparing the oil-free design vs oil-lubricated options at this scale, one of the clearest advantages of the oil-free design is the dramatic simplification of the downstream treatment chain. Oil coalescers, activated-carbon absorbers, and in-line oil monitors — each requiring capital investment, replacement consumables, and regular servicing — become unnecessary for the oil-removal function. A refrigeration dryer and sterile filter are typically all that is required to achieve pharmaceutical-grade compressed air, which translates directly into lower operational cost over the machine’s service life.

Medium-Voltage Drive for Large Plant Integration

The 800 kW oilless compressor motor is supplied in 6 kV or 10 kV configurations, enabling direct connection to a plant’s medium-voltage switchgear without step-down transformers. This is a critical practical advantage for large industrial sites in France, Germany, the Gulf, and Southeast Asia, where medium-voltage distribution has been the standard for decades. Eliminating the transformer reduces installation cost, floor-space requirements, and one additional point of failure from the electrical supply chain.

Long-Term Parts Support & Global After-Sale Service

Oil free air compressor spare parts for the DW series — including PTFE ring sets, valve assemblies, distance-piece seals, and intercooler tube bundles — are stocked in the manufacturer’s dedicated warehouse and dispatched globally within 48 hours for stocked items. With a network of sales and service centres and an international technical team experienced in commissioning large oilless compressor installations, buyers across France, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond receive the support continuity that a permanent-installation machine of this scale demands.

◆ Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Cleanroom Supply

EU Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines and FDA 21 CFR Part 211 both specify that compressed air contacting drug substances, packaging, or process equipment must be oil-free. The EP-DW-130/8-A’s ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certification satisfies this requirement unconditionally. Large pharmaceutical campuses in France, Ireland, and Germany that process multiple active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) simultaneously can centralise their oil-free air supply on a single machine of this capacity, reducing the complexity of the cleanroom air system. GMP auditors and regulatory inspectors accept Class 0 certification as documentary evidence of air purity compliance.

◆ Food & Beverage Processing

In food processing plants, compressed air contacts products during pneumatic conveying, filling, sealing, blow-moulding of PET beverage bottles, and modified-atmosphere packaging. Any oil contamination in the air stream risks product spoilage, batch rejection, and potential consumer health consequences — all scenarios that lead to regulatory enforcement action and reputational damage. The EP-DW-130/8-A provides the volume needed for a large multi-line food production facility while guaranteeing that every cubic metre of air delivered is free of oil aerosol, vapour, and residue, fully consistent with EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to contact food.

◆ Electronics & Semiconductor Fabrication

Semiconductor wafer fabrication, PCB assembly, and flat-panel display manufacturing require compressed air at ISO 8573-1 Class 0 for pneumatic tooling, component handling, and process chamber purging. Oil contamination on wafer surfaces causes irreversible yield losses worth orders of magnitude more than the cost of the air station. The EP-DW-130/8-A silent compressor option — with acoustic enclosure — also helps meet the noise limits common in high-precision fabrication environments where vibration and acoustic interference affect sensitive metrology and bonding equipment.

◆ PET Blow Moulding & Beverage Packaging

High-speed PET stretch-blow moulding lines for beverage bottles require large volumes of clean, dry, oil-free air at 0.7–1.0 MPa. When combined with an ISBM machine to form a one-step bottle-making system, the air quality requirement becomes even more stringent because the forming cavity is in direct contact with the bottle interior. The EP-DW-130/8-A supplies pre-blow air to multiple high-speed blow lines simultaneously — each running at 2,000+ bottles per hour — while the Class 0 rating eliminates any risk of oil specking on bottle walls that would trigger quality-control rejection.

◆ Oxygen & Nitrogen Generation (Air Separation)

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and membrane nitrogen/oxygen generators, as well as cryogenic air-separation units, use compressed air as the process feed gas. Any oil in the feed air stream coats the molecular sieve adsorbent beds and destroys their capacity irreversibly, requiring costly regeneration or bed replacement. An oil free compressor as the feed source eliminates this contamination risk entirely and is the standard specification for air separation plants serving the industrial gas, medical oxygen, and food-grade nitrogen markets in France and globally.

◆ Dental & Medical Gas Supply

Although the EP-DW-130/8-A operates at a scale beyond a typical dental surgery, it is the correct specification for central medical air systems serving large hospital complexes, multi-building dental hospital campuses, and medical gas pipeline systems under EN ISO 7396-1. Oil free air compressor dental and medical applications are governed by stringent national health authority standards — including ANSM regulations in France — that require verified oil-free compression at every production test and periodic inspection. The Class 0 certification of this machine satisfies those requirements without reliance on downstream mitigation.

ISBM Machine — One-Step Injection Stretch Blow Moulding

For beverage and personal-care packaging manufacturers, the EP-DW-130/8-A provides the oil-free pre-blow and blow air that an ISBM machine demands in direct bottle-forming applications. The bottle cavity is in contact with the air that forms the bottle interior — any oil contamination is unacceptable from a food-contact regulatory standpoint.

Three Phase Asynchronous Motor

The 800 kW drive motor on the EP-DW-130/8-A is a three-phase asynchronous motor available at 6 kV or 10 kV in our standard production range, IE3 efficiency rated in accordance with EU Ecodesign Regulation 2019/1781. Matching the motor to the compressor at the manufacturer level eliminates shaft coupling mismatch, simplifies the equipment qualification documentation for regulated facilities, and provides a single point of contact for warranty management across the entire drive train.
