Anest Iwata Class Zero Oil Free Scroll Compressor – F-Series
Class Zero Certified Oil-Free Air, Backed by 25+ Years of Scroll Expertise
The Anest Iwata F-Series is the flagship of the brand’s oil free scroll compressor range, built on interlocking scroll technology the company pioneered back in 1991 as the world’s first oil-free scroll compressor. Every F-Series unit carries Class Zero certification from TUV, confirming the compressed air it produces carries zero contamination — a standard that matters most in hospitals, laboratories, and any setting where a contaminated air supply poses a genuine safety or product-quality risk.
Where many scroll compressors on the market are sealed, disposable units, the F-Series is built with a serviceable air end, supported by Anest Iwata’s global network of spares, trained manpower, and tooling. That’s part of why the brand now holds more than 70% of the global oil-free scroll market and over 90% share in Japan, with more than 150 patents behind the technology — and why leading compressor OEMs such as Atlas Copco and Kobelco rely on Anest Iwata to supply their own oil-free scroll air ends.

FAQ
What makes the F-Series different from other oil-free scroll compressors on the market?
Most competing scroll compressors are sealed, disposable units. The F-Series is built with a serviceable air end and backed by a global spares and support network, so it can be maintained and repaired rather than replaced outright.
What does Class Zero certification actually guarantee?
TUV's Class Zero certification confirms the compressor delivers air with zero oil contamination, meeting the strictest air-quality standard used in critical applications like medical and laboratory environments.
Why do other compressor manufacturers use Anest Iwata's scroll technology?
Anest Iwata pioneered oil-free scroll technology in 1991 and now holds over 70% of the global market and more than 150 related patents, which is why several leading OEMs source their oil-free scroll air ends from Anest Iwata rather than developing their own.
Is the F-Series suitable for continuous medical or laboratory use?
Yes. Its Class Zero certification and oil-free scroll design make it well suited to continuous operation in medical settings, laboratories, and other environments where contamination-free air is essential.
What ongoing maintenance does the F-Series need?
Since there's no oil in the system, there's no drain treatment required. Combined with the serviceable air end, maintenance is limited to periodic servicing rather than full unit replacement.
