Compressor Generates up 1.2m3/min of Oil-Free Air

Boge has announced that it has extended its K series of oil-free air compressors with the compact K 15 model. Using the pushrod principle, the K series eliminates the complicated cross-head construction. The cylinder bore in which the special-compound-coated piston moves is made of a high-strength aluminium-silicon alloy. These sliding partners lead to friction and therefore loss-free generation of compressed air.

The K 3 to K 8 with 2.2 to 5.5kW drives offer air deliveries of 0.24 to 0.65m3/min for 10-bar and 15-bar operation. The K 8 is also available in a 40-bar version. The new K 15 extends this range and uses two opposing pushrod units. Using this four-cylinder system, the K 15 can generate up to 1.2m3/min of oil-free compressed air. The K 15 also integrates high-efficiency control.

The K series operates on a stop/start basis - controlled by either a pressure switch (as a standard), or with the Boge Basic electronic controller, which is said to ensure efficient use of energy. Low service costs are also assured thanks to the design, which requires little maintenance. The K series is available as a 10-, 15- or 40-bar compressor with air deliveries ranging from 244 to 1,296 litres/min; motor range is 2.2 to 11kW.
