Price of Different Screw Compressors
In today’s advanced industry, screw compressors are essential and vital tools for compressed air supply. These machines provide high-quality construction and powerful performance to meet the diverse needs of modern industries. However, one of the main considerations when buying and using screw compressors is their price. Below, we will examine the prices of different types of screw compressors and the factors influencing them. To obtain a price list for screw compressors and their components, please contact us.
Oil-injected Screw Compressors
Oil-injected screw compressors, also known as oil-injected compressors, are one of the most popular types of screw compressors that use oil to generate compressed air. These compressors, by using oil, not only cool the air and prevent pressure return but also help lubricate the casing and rotors.
Given that the output pressure from the air unit in these compressors must be at least 4 bar to circulate oil inside them, the benefits of oil-injected compressors include easy lubrication of bearings, continuous rotor contact with oil, prevention of air return in the air end, rotor sealing at both ends by the casing, lower compressed air temperature due to heat absorption by the oil, low noise production, and reduced rotor friction.
Additionally, the price of oil-injected compressors and screw compressor parts depends on factors like model, brand, capacity, features, and market conditions. In Iran, the price of oil-injected compressors may start from several million tomans for smaller models and can go up to several billion tomans for larger industrial models.
Technical specifications such as motor power, pressure capacity, control systems, and the parts used also affect the price. For the most accurate information on the price list of oil-injected screw compressors and oil-free screw compressors, please contact our experts.
Types of Oil-injected Screw Compressors
Some common types of oil-injected screw compressors include:
Fixed-speed oil-injected compressors: In these compressors, the air end speed and the airflow output are fixed. These compressors are typically used when a continuous and stable compressed air output is required.
Variable-speed oil-injected compressors: In these compressors, the air end speed is variable, and the amount of compressed air output adjusts according to consumption needs. These compressors are used for energy savings and reducing energy loss.
Belt-driven oil-injected compressors: These compressors use a belt to connect the motor and air unit, providing smoother and quieter operation compared to other types.
Direct-coupled oil-injected compressors: In this category, the motor and air unit are directly coupled together. These compressors offer easier maintenance and higher efficiency compared to other compressors.
Oil-free Screw Compressors
These compressors are used for specific applications, including medical and dental uses. Unlike oil-injected compressors, oil-free compressors generate compressed air without the use of oil.
To reduce friction and wear, oil is used in oil-injected compressors. However, in oil-free compressors, air is injected into the compression chamber instead of oil. These compressors produce clean air free from any oil contamination, which is crucial in some applications. Other advantages of oil-free compressors include less wear and quieter operation compared to oil-injected compressors.

Types of Oil-free Compressors
The types of oil-free compressors include:
Medical oil-free compressors (Portable): These compressors are essential tools in the medical industry. They are used to supply compressed air for medical devices, including respiratory systems. These compressors operate without oil to avoid contaminating the air with oil and are critical for maintaining cleanliness in medical environments.
Dental oil-free compressors: Oil-free compressors are also crucial in dentistry. They provide compressed air for dental tools and equipment. The absence of oil in the air output is vital for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in medical treatment settings.
Air blowers: Air blowers are a type of oil-free compressor used for air transfer in various industries. These machines provide dry, oil-free air with appropriate pressure for various uses, particularly when clean and dry air is required.
The prices of these units can range from several hundred dollars for smaller models to several thousand dollars or more for larger models with advanced features. For the most accurate pricing information on screw air compressors, it is recommended to contact us.

More about screw compressors
What is a Screw Compressor?
A screw compressor is a type of compressor used for compressing air and gases in various industries. It consists of two helical rotors, male and female, which rotate inside a chamber. Air is drawn into the chamber, and its volume is reduced between the rotors, causing compression. These compressors have the ability to operate continuously and, compared to other types such as piston compressors, offer higher efficiency and longer lifespan.
Types of Screw Compressors
Oil-Free Screw Compressor: These compressors do not use any oil in the compression process, making them suitable for industries that require contaminant-free compressed air, such as pharmaceutical and food industries.
Oil-Injected Screw Compressor: These compressors use oil for lubrication and reducing friction between the rotors. They are more efficient and are suitable for industrial applications that require high and continuous pressure.
