Anest Iwata Class Zero Oil Free Scroll Compressor – ThinkAir Series
Modular, Multi-Unit Efficiency for Scalable Oil-Free Air Supply
The Anest Iwata ThinkAir Series takes the same Class Zero certified, oil-free scroll technology behind the F-Series and packages it into a modular, multi-unit cabinet designed to scale with a facility’s air demand. Rather than running a single oversized compressor at partial load, ThinkAir’s multi-unit control system brings individual scroll modules online only as needed, producing just the air a process actually requires at any given moment.
That modular approach translates directly into lower running costs and a smaller carbon footprint over the compressor’s life, while still delivering the same contamination-free air quality that makes Anest Iwata’s scroll range a preferred choice in hospitals, laboratories, and precision manufacturing. And because each module shares the serviceable air-end design behind Anest Iwata’s global aftersales support, individual units can be maintained without taking the entire system offline.

FAQ
How is the ThinkAir Series different from the F-Series?
The F-Series is a single-unit oil-free scroll compressor, while ThinkAir packages multiple scroll modules into one modular cabinet with a multi-unit control system, allowing it to scale output up or down as demand changes.
How does the multi-unit design save on running costs?
Instead of running one oversized compressor at partial load, ThinkAir brings individual modules online only as needed, so the system produces just the air required at any given moment rather than wasting energy on excess capacity.
Can the ThinkAir Series be serviced without shutting down air supply?
Because each module has its own serviceable air end, individual units can typically be maintained while the remaining modules continue supplying air, reducing disruption compared to a single-unit system.
Is the ThinkAir Series Class Zero certified like the F-Series?
Yes. It uses the same Class Zero certified, oil-free scroll technology, so it delivers the same zero-contamination air quality required in medical and laboratory environments.
What facility sizes is the ThinkAir Series best suited for?
Its modular, scalable design makes it particularly well suited to facilities with variable or growing air demand, where adding capacity incrementally is more practical than installing one large fixed-output compressor.
