Air Booster Design:
Hycomp oil free air boosters utilize a crosshead guide cylinder and distance piece design, similar to our air compressor, to separate the oil lubricated power end from the oil free air compression end. A plenum chamber beneath the compression cylinder maintains pressure beneath the compression pistons, allowing for full load reversal on the bearings in the bottom end.

Application Spotlight
PET Bottle Blow Molding
Continuous Pressures & Flows
A purified water bottling company needed continuous duty high-pressure oil free air to blow mold their PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles. A quick delivery was required on a duplex system, as the need for high pressure oil free air had been overlooked until the bottling machines were ready to be delivered.
