Why oil-free?
Don’t compromise on quality…
If 100% clean and oil-free compressed air is a requirement for your industry,
you cannot compromise on quality.

The EnviroAire from GD sets the standards for air purity. These For many industries such as ‘food & beverages’,
water-injected screw compressors are available in water-cooled ‘pharmaceuticals’ and ‘electronics’, air purity is a critical factor
and air-cooled versions and are ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 certified. where even the smallest drop of oil risks contamination that can
Offering not only 100% pure oil-free air but also improved have severe consequences such as:
energy efficiency, these compressors are made to meet the
precise needs of a diverse range of industries. • Product spoilage

• Production downtime
The ISO 8573-1 compressed air standard was revised in 2001 to
address the requirements of these critical applications where • Damage to production equipment

EnviroAire 15-110 Series
Advanced totally oil-free technology
No Oil - No Risk
You can rest assured that the GD EnviroAire series is 100% oil-free with absolutely no oil present in any part of
the compressor – unlike conventional 2-stage compressors, which use oil-flooded gear boxes.
