BOGE K-now How

Following a preview at Hannover Fair in April BOGE has now launched the innovative new oil-free piston compressor known as the K Series. Designed as a single-stage 10 bar unit, it is compact, energy efficient and provides the smaller air user with a German quality, cost effective, oil-free compressor solution.

BOGE developed the K series oil-free piston compressor utilising 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 sophisticated K series 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 this also ensures 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 package, with acoustic canopy, is receiver mounted and requires a minimal footprint underpinning its versatility in, for example, point of use applications.

The K series is manufactured as a 10 bar compressor with effective free air deliveries ranging from 244 - 648 l/min, motor range 2.2 to 5.5 kW. C&L Industrial is the exclusive authorised distributor of BOGE compressed air equipment within the Republic of Ireland.
