Compressors for the chemical industry – process purity and operational safety
Chemical processes demand the highest compressed air quality. Even the slightest traces of oil or particles endanger products, systems and employees. SCC offers oil-free compressors and energy-efficient solutions that protect your processes, reduce operating costs and meet standard requirements.
Challenges
Our solution
Oil-free compressed air for chemical applications
SCC develops compressors for industrial areas where contamination by oil or particles must be prevented. Our oil-free technologies work without lubricants in the compression process and deliver compressed air in accordance with the relevant standards – ISO 8573-1 Class 0 as the purity target for the highest demands.
Water-injected screw compressors use water-injected compression with an internal water circuit (oil-free) for cooling without the need to supply fresh water. The low compressor temperatures protect processes and materials. Oil-free scroll compressors operate with low vibration and low maintenance – ideal for laboratory and analysis technology with constant air requirements.
Energy efficiency through demand-based control
Variable speed control automatically adjusts the compressor output to the current air requirement. This lowers energy consumption, reduces idle phases and ensures stable pressure conditions. At the same time, the compressed air quality remains constant – without fluctuations that could impair processes.
Our compressors can be integrated into existing systems. The SCC control system records all relevant operating parameters, documents maintenance status and enables connection to control rooms or mobile devices.

FAQ
Yes, Variable Speed Drive (VSD) adjusts the compressor output to the current demand. This avoids idling, reduces switching frequency and significantly lowers power consumption – especially when air demand fluctuates.
Many functions depend directly on a constant supply of compressed air, especially brake and door systems. A reliable compressed air supply reduces the risk of failure and supports safe operation.
Scroll compressors operate virtually wear-free thanks to their low speeds and low-vibration design. Water-injected compressors only require water-injected compression with an internal water circuit (oil-free) and do not require oil changes. Both technologies significantly reduce maintenance costs.
Scroll compressors operate virtually wear-free thanks to low The SCC control system records all relevant operating parameters. Pressure, temperature and maintenance status can be called up at any time – on site on the touchscreen or via interfaces for control rooms and mobile devices.
