Oil-Free Air Compressor​

The model VP-1504-180 of VP describes a pressure of 0.8 MPa (116 psi) and a Free Air Delivery (FAD) of 0.8 m³/min (approximately 28.3 CFM), that is, it is suitable for continuous or high use. It is driven by a 6kW (8 hp) motor to ensure it delivers adequate power when compressing the air but at the same time, it is energy efficient. Being a large one, it is the 180-litre air receiver which means that the air supply is more stable without often pulsing.

• Oil-Free Operation: The screw mechanism does not contain any oil in its operation and therefore supplies clean and pure air to the system, and is very appropriate to be used where air quality is paramount.
• High Air Delivery: Thus, having an FAD of 0.8 m³/min (28.3 CFM), the compressor offers an uninterrupted and high-powered stream of air suitable for industries that need a constant supply of air.
• Large Air Receiver: The air receiver of 180 liters makes the system air supply more stable thereby reducing start-up frequency and increasing efficiency by reducing pressure swings.
• Direct Drive Mechanism: The direct drive system reduces the mechanical losses since the load is directly coupled hence increased reliability and hence reduced maintenance costs.
• Flexible Power Supply: This compressor can use both, a 220V power source and a 380V power source and can be used in a wide range of locations.
• Industrial Frequency Startup: This compressor adopts a random industrial frequency startup and has a selective and efficient way of starting up without straining the electrical circuits.

• Oil-Free Screw Mechanism: Purges clean and dry air to the component with no chance of being contaminated with oil.
• Air Receiver: The 180-liter tank of the receiver contains a considerable reserve of compressed air to minimize the start/stop cycles of the compressor and maintain constant pressure during use.
• Drive Motor: Such applications demand a 6 kW (8 hp) motor and the Mn series pumps are designed to deliver this necessary power while remaining efficient and dependable.

• Installation: Correct positioning of the terminals is essential, especially if the machines will be placed in a poorly ventilated place, not enough space for cooling and maintenance will hinder operation. Compressors should not be placed near sources of heat in order to avoid heating the system.
• Routine Maintenance: Make it a point to check the air filter and also to clean up the intake and exhaust areas from any obstruction. It is also crucial to ensure that there is no leakage on the air receiver and the pressure regulation is well done.
• Pressure Settings: Limit pressure should always be maintained as set and there should be avoidable pressure on the system. It is advised to check up on the unit periodically to ensure it is working under the appropriate pressure and thus increase the life of the unit.

• Pharmaceutical and Food Processing: It is also useful when quality air should exist and one cannot afford to have oil within its system.
• Manufacturing and Assembly Lines: This compressor provides clean and reliable air for use particularly when operating pneumatic tools, equipment, and related devices.
• Laboratories: The quality of air delivered to a consumer by this compressor is ideal for use in scientific or test laboratories that are usually considered to be low-contamination facilities.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Protects against the intrusion of oil that is required to provide clean and dry air, especially for arranging the movements of small components in products such as electronics and in some other manufacturing processes.
