Why use a dry compressor
Cattani S.p.A. can prove that a dry compressor will last as long as or longer than lubricated compressors: it is simply a matter of correct material selection and precise workmanship
When designing large sized systems, there is still the old tendency to adopt an oil lubricated rotary compressor, which was once thought to be the only option for high demands of air from dental units in hospital systems. Today we have come to realize that dentistry needs clean, dry, filtered air not only because of the delicate nature of surgery and prosthetic work, but also because it will extend the life of the pneumatic instruments used in dentistry. During operation, the oil in lubricated compressors heats up and, despite the filters, the finest particles go through into the air and overcome every possible barrier, with the risk of affecting fillings and prosthesis fixing. The need for dry, filtered, sterile air has driven us to look for a solution to the problem; our compressed air units are safe machines that can replace oil lubricated rotary compressors for any work load, with the added benefit of significant savings in terms of energy and maintenance costs.
