In the current industrial landscape, rising energy costs and stringent environmental regulations are forcing plant managers to rethink their air supply systems. Traditional lobe-type blowers (roots blowers) are no longer the gold standard. Enter the Oil-Free Screw Blower—a technologically advanced solution offering unmatched efficiency, reliability, and pure, contaminant-free air.
Whether you operate a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), a cement factory, or a pneumatic conveying system, upgrading to an oil-free screw blower directly impacts your bottom line.
Unlike traditional lobe blowers that simply trap and push air (external compression), the oil-free screw blower utilizes internal compression. Two intermeshing helical rotors rotate in opposite directions within a precision-machined housing. As the rotors turn, the air trapped between the lobes and the casing is progressively compressed before being discharged through the outlet port.
This internal compression mechanism eliminates the energy-wasting "over-compression" and "under-compression" common in lobe blowers, resulting in significantly higher volumetric efficiency across the entire operating range.
•Lower Energy Consumption (30–35% Savings): Unlike traditional rotary lobe blowers, the internal compression mechanism of a screw blower drastically reduces energy loss. For a 24/7 operation, this translates into thousands of dollars saved annually on electricity bills.
•100% Oil-Free Air (Class 0 Certified): Eliminates the risk of oil carryover into your process. This is critical for applications sensitive to contamination, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and textile manufacturing.
•Wide Flow & Pressure Range: With stable performance across varying pressures and flow rates (coupled with VFD control), these blowers easily adapt to fluctuating process demands without surging or stalling.
•Low Noise Operation (≤85 dB): The helical screw rotors and anti-surge design significantly reduce vibration and noise, creating a safer and more comfortable working environment for your operators.
•Reduced Maintenance Costs: With fewer wearing parts and no need for oil changes or complex oil separation systems, routine maintenance is limited to simple filter and bearing checks.
Customer Pain Point | Our Solution |

Q1: What is the pressure range for these blowers?
A1: Typically, oil-free screw blowers operate efficiently in the range of 0.3 to 1.5 Bar (g). For higher pressures, different compressor configurations are recommended.
Q2: How do I calculate my energy savings?
A2: Compare your current lobe blower's power draw (kW) to our screw blower at the same flow (Nm³/h). Due to internal compression, a 75kW motor on a screw blower often delivers the same output as a 100kW motor on a lobe blower.
Q3: Is a dedicated cooling system required?
A3: Depending on your ambient temperature and operating pressure, we offer both air-cooled and water-cooled designs. Air-cooled is generally preferred for smaller capacities, while water-cooled is selected for high-pressure, high-temperature environments.
Q4: Can I get it with a VFD?
A4: Yes. We strongly recommend the VFD package for users with variable flow demands to maximize energy efficiency.
