Our purity principle: Absolutely oil-free CO2-compression

For decades, our oil-free compression technology has been a fundamental component in the food and beverage sector, where process integrity is paramount. We provide a technically superior solution that guarantees operational reliability, energy efficiency, and—most critically—absolute purity. In the specific application of CO₂ compression, where any hydrocarbon contamination can compromise product safety and quality, our 100% oil-free systems are not just a solution, but a mandatory engineering standard.

Extraction

Sustainable CO2-extraction with our high-pressure compressors

Beverage fortification

Safe compression of aggressive, moist CO2 from natural sources – ideal for the food industry

Flue gas systems

Efficient CO2-recovery from flue gas production for further industrial utilisation

Recovery

Compression of moist CO2, which is produced during alcoholic fermentation, for example

Dry ice production

Efficient CO2-compression for the production of dry ice

Capturing

Storage of CO2, which is extracted directly from the ambient air

Your Core Benefit: Guaranteed Purity and Reduced TCO with an Oil-Free CO2 Compressor

Our oil-free CO2 compressor is engineered on a fundamental principle: the complete elimination of oil from the compression cycle. With a documented operational history in critical applications, these systems deliver field-proven reliability.

By design, they produce pure, uncontaminated carbon dioxide, thereby eliminating the significant capital and operational costs associated with complex downstream oil removal systems (e.g., coalescing filters, activated carbon towers).

This approach inherently maximizes process safety by preventing product contamination and enhances overall system efficiency by avoiding the pressure drop across filtration. This directly contributes to a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
