Boge developed the K series oil-free piston compressor using state of the art compressor technology.
The cylinder is mounted horizontally, and a centrally located crankshaft operates a push rod principal, ensuring the piston remains parallel in the cylinder.
This innovation vastly reduces cylinder ring wear experienced in all conventional systems.
The design has also proved to be a very cost-effective compressor solution.
Because it generates absolutely oil-free compressed air, the K series will also reduce the downstream treatment required and all the associated costs.
As an oil-less compressor, service times and standard service parts required are also reduced considerably.
Unlike most piston compressors the K series operates on a stop/start basis, controlled by a standard Boge electronic controller, ensuring the most efficient use of energy.
The K series oil-free piston compressor is ideally suited to industries such as the food, drink, medical and pharmaceutical sectors, where oil-free compressed air is paramount.
The K series is manufactured as a 10bar compressor with effective free air deliveries ranging from 244 - 648 litres a minute and a motor range of 2.2 to 5.5kW. Request a free brochure from Boge Compressors ...
