For more than 100 years, Ingersoll Rand has inspired progress bydriving innovation with revolutionary technology creating newstandards for how the world gets work done. We introduced our firstoil-free compressor in 1912, and over the decades weve continued todevelop rugged, reliable, industry-leading compressor technologies.Ingersoll Rand is the technology leader in oil-free compressed air not onlybecause we develop class-leading products, but also because we know

our customers industries, understand thedemands placed on productivity and quality,and then offer highly engineered systemsolutions that make sense. No matter whatyour product, process, or location,Ingersoll Rand has the expertise, the

oil-free technology, and the unmatchedservice to meet your needs.

When high air purity is a high priority

Theres a lot riding on the quality of your air. Thepresence of particles, condensation, oil, and oil vapor in acompressed air system can lead to downtime, productspoilage and recall, damage to your brand reputation, orworse, harmed consumers and product liability.

PharmaceuticalThe highly regulatedpharmaceutical industryrequires 100% total qualitybuilt into manufacturingprocesses. Compressed airquality must be validatedas part of GMP.

ElectronicsHigh air qualityis critical in thisindustry youcant afforddowntime orproduct spoilagewith wet or oilycompressed air.

Food and BeverageOil-free compressorsthat deliver no oil into theair stream and minimizemicrobial content throughhigh-temperaturecompression reducecontamination risk forfood and beveragemanufacturers.

Oil-free, risk-free

How pure is your air? One of the keys to ensuring you achieve andmaintain acceptable air quality for your critical application is to knowindustry air quality standards and their allowable levels of contaminants.

The lower the particular class rating, the purer the air should be.

ISO 8573-1:2001 Class 0 specifies air quality standards for criticalmanufacturing processes within the food and beverage, pharmaceutical,textile, and electronics industries. It is the most stringent class, coveringoil contamination in aerosol, vapor, and liquid forms.Some compressor manufacturers havemarketed their units as beingessentiallyoil-free, but this isnt necessarily the case. Ifyou need guaranteed pure air for your criticalapplication, then you need Ingersoll Rand.

Unleashing the full potential

of variable-speed technologyIf you have a critical oil-free applicationrequiring the lowest operating cost, you cantafford to take chances with a compressor system

that delivers anything but the absolute highestquality air, reliability, and efficiency. Not aproblem with an Ingersoll Rand Nirvana the worlds first true variable-speed drive(VSD) oil-free compressor system.


9/20

Purely betterWhile other VSD compressorsalso deliver stable pressure,soft-starting, and improvedpart-load efficiency over fixed-

speed compressors, only Nirvanaenables you to reach the fullpotential of variable-speedtechnology. With a Nirvanasystem, you get ultra-reliabilityand efficiency, virtuallymaintenance-free operation,unlimited starts and stops, andpeace of mind knowing yourair is 100% pure.

Real savings,real satisfactionEnergy costs can be as much as60% of the lifecycle cost of an aircompressor. The Nirvana systemhelps you reach the full potential

of variable speed through theabsolute lowest energy cost andthe highest efficiency possible.
