10 HP Lubricated Scroll Air Compressor – Fixed Speed | 3 Phase | 208-230 Volts | 42 CFM

An oil-injected scroll air compressor is a positive displacement compressor that uses two spiral-shaped scrolls—one fixed and one orbiting—to compress air, with oil introduced into the compression chamber for lubrication, cooling, and sealing.

This design offers the smooth, quiet operation typical of scroll technology while benefiting from the enhanced sealing and heat dissipation provided by oil. The result is higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and better performance under continuous or heavy-duty operation compared to oil-free scroll models.

How It Works:

As the orbiting scroll moves, it traps and compresses pockets of air toward the center discharge port. A controlled amount of oil is injected into the compression area to:

• Lubricate moving parts

• Seal internal clearances for better compression efficiency

• Absorb and carry away heat

The oil is then separated from the compressed air before delivery, with most systems including filtration to minimize oil carryover.

What advantages does a scroll compressor have?

* Higher Efficiency: Better sealing leads to improved volumetric efficiency.

* Longer Service Life: Oil reduces wear and heat-related stress on components.

* Continuous Duty Ready: Handles higher workloads and sustained operation.

* Quiet Operation: Low vibration and noise levels, typical of scroll technology.

Ideal Applications:

• General manufacturing

• Automotive service centers

• Small workshops

• Packaging operations

• Industries where some oil carryover is acceptable
