Oil-free compressed air solutions

Avelair scroll air compressors provide reliable, energy-efficient and 100% oil-free compressed air for industries where air purity and operational continuity are essential. Designed for quiet performance and simple maintenance, scroll technology offers a modern alternative to traditional piston and screw compressors.

Whether you operate in healthcare, food production or precision manufacturing, Avelair’s scroll compressor range delivers clean air with lower noise, reduced vibration and outstanding reliability.

What is a scroll air compressor?

A scroll air compressor uses two interlocking spiral elements to compress air smoothly and continuously. One scroll remains fixed while the other orbits, gradually reducing the volume of trapped air and increasing its pressure.

Because this process does not rely on pistons or oil-lubricated chambers, scroll compressors produce oil-free compressed air with fewer moving parts, lower friction and greater mechanical reliability.

This makes scroll compressors ideal for clean-air applications and environments where quiet operation is important.

Applications for scroll air compressors

Oil-free scroll compressors are widely used in industries that demand contaminant-free compressed air, quiet performance and dependable continuous operation. Their ability to deliver consistent airflow makes them particularly suitable for precision processes where pressure stability is critical.

In healthcare environments such as medical and dental surgeries, clean compressed air supports sensitive equipment and patient safety. Pharmaceutical production, laboratories and research facilities rely on oil-free air to protect sterile processes and maintain product integrity. Food and beverage manufacturers use scroll compressors to prevent contamination during processing, packaging and bottling operations.

High-tech industries including electronics, semiconductor manufacturing and optical production depend on stable, high-purity air to protect delicate components and maintain product quality. Scroll compressors are also well suited to cleanrooms, printing facilities and precision engineering applications where low noise and minimal vibration improve working conditions.

Their compact footprint and quiet operation allow installation close to the point of use, making them ideal for environments where space is limited or noise must be carefully controlled.

Frequently Asked Questions

A scroll compressor is a type of air compressor that uses two interlocking spiral elements to compress air. One scroll remains stationary while the other moves in an orbital motion, gradually reducing the air volume and increasing its pressure. This smooth, continuous compression process produces reliable airflow with minimal vibration.

Air becomes trapped in pockets between the two spiral scrolls. As the orbiting scroll moves, these pockets become progressively smaller, compressing the air and directing it towards the centre outlet. This design allows continuous compression with fewer moving parts than piston-based systems.

Most scroll compressors are designed to produce 100% oil-free compressed air. Because no oil is required in the compression chamber, there is no risk of contamination, making them ideal for sensitive industrial applications.

Scroll compressors offer several key benefits:

  • Oil-free air for clean applications
  • Quiet operation with low vibration
  • High energy efficiency
  • Continuous, pulse-free airflow
  • Compact footprint
  • Fewer moving parts for improved reliability
  • Lower maintenance requirements

Scroll compressors are commonly used in industries that require clean, reliable compressed air. These include healthcare, dental clinics, pharmaceutical production, laboratories, food and beverage processing, electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms and precision engineering environments.

Yes. Scroll compressors operate with minimal vibration and fewer mechanical movements than piston compressors, resulting in significantly lower noise levels. This makes them suitable for installation close to work areas.

We supply scroll air compressors ranging from 1.5 for light-duty applications through to larger 30KW systems designed for industrial operations with higher air demand.

A multi-scroll compressor combines two or more scroll elements within a single unit. This design increases air output while providing built-in redundancy. If one scroll requires maintenance, the remaining modules can continue operating.
