Oil-free compressed air for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing

The electronics and semiconductor industries, with ever increasing density of electronic components and finer and finer physical details is a traditional user of oil-free air.

The air purity requirements and air volume requirements of the industry are already at a very high level, with constant pressure for further improvement. Even a drop of oil, silicone or PTFE, which are all present in typical “oil-free” dry screw compressors will destroy the end product quality. Tamturbo’s compressor do not add anything to the compressed air. Our unit doesn’t contain a single drop of oil, so the chance of oil escaping to the compressed air line is non-existent. Similarly, their energy consumption requirements and environmental requirements are tightening, which also speaks for Tamturbo’s technology for this customer segment.

We already have delivered units to the industry, e.g. a flat panel manufacturing facility in Asia. Flat panel manufacturing requires 0 contaminants to maintain end product quality and purity and therefore production efficiency. Preventing contamination also pays off by lower quality control costs, which is important for the fast-paced industry. Our Touch-Free™ Technology gives you absolutely 0% risk of contamination.

Why semiconductor and electronics fabs choose 100% oil-free

Zero contaminants, zero compromise

We have delivered units to the industry, including a flat-panel manufacturing facility in Asia. Flat-panel and semiconductor production require zero contaminants to maintain product quality, purity and yield. Preventing contamination also lowers quality-control costs, which matters in a fast-paced, high-value industry. Tamturbo Touch-Free™ technology gives 0% risk of contamination.

Genuine Class 0 air, at source

Because there is no oil in the compression process, Tamturbo delivers ISO 8573-1 Class 0 for oil without relying on filtration to achieve it, no oil seals to degrade, no PTFE coatings to shed. See our 100% oil-free technology →

Cleanroom-grade and efficient

Contamination control is only half the story. Tamturbo’s direct-driven VSD design keeps its efficiency for decades and can recover up to 90% of input energy as heat, a meaningful sustainability and cost gain for energy-intensive fabs. See the total cost of ownership →

Frequently asked questions

Why is oil-free air critical in semiconductor manufacturing? Oil, silicone or PTFE particles cause defects and yield loss. 100% oil-free-at-source air removes that contamination pathway entirely.

Does Tamturbo meet cleanroom air-quality requirements? Tamturbo delivers ISO 8573-1 Class 0 for oil at source; combine with appropriate downstream drying/filtration for your specific cleanroom class.

Can it handle the air volumes fabs need? Yes, Tamturbo VSD turbo compressors cover a wide capacity range and match demand efficiently without energy-wasting blow-off. Explore the range →
