KAESER i.Comp 8 and 9 - oil-free compressor
Oil-free speed-controlled compressors - quiet, compact and energy-efficient
The KAESER i.Comp 8 and i.Comp 9 are oil-free, speed-controlled piston compressors with a space-saving TOWER design. At a maximum of 65.7 dB(A), they operate at room volume and continuously adjust their volume flow to the actual compressed air requirement - saving energy and reducing wear. As the air is compressed oil-free, there is no need for oil changes, oil checks or the disposal of oil-contaminated condensate. Both models are available as a TOWER version and as a TOWER T with integrated refrigerant dryer. A complete overview of all i.Comp models with volume flow, performance and equipment in direct comparison can be found further down on this page.
Which KAESER i.Comp suits your needs?
The KAESER i.Comp 8 and i.Comp 9 are oil-free speed-controlled piston compressors in the compact TOWER design - space-saving on a footprint of less than one square meter and whisper-quiet with a maximum of 65.7 dB(A). The speed control continuously adjusts the volume flow to the actual compressed air requirement - this saves energy and reduces wear. The difference between TOWER and TOWER T: The T variant is a complete compressed air station with integrated refrigerant dryer and SIGMA CONTROL 2 controller. The following overview shows a direct comparison of all i.Comp models.
i.Comp 8 and i.Comp 9 - All models at a glance
The i.Comp models deliver effective volume flows of 404 to 570 l/min at 6 bar with a maximum overpressure of 11 bar. Both sizes are available as TOWER (compressor with tank) and TOWER T (complete solution with refrigeration dryer):
| Model | Volume flow 6 bar | Volume flow 11 bar | Max. Pressure | Performance | Refrigeration dryer | Control system |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| i.Comp 8 TOWER | 404 l/min | 291 l/min | 11 bar | 3.1 kW | - | i.Comp CONTROL |
| i.Comp 8 TOWER T | 404 l/min | 291 l/min | 11 bar | 3.1 kW | integrated | SIGMA CONTROL 2 |
| i.Comp 9 TOWER | 570 l/min | 409 l/min | 11 bar | 4.2 kW | - | i.Comp CONTROL |
| i.Comp 9 TOWER T | 570 l/min | 409 l/min | 11 bar | 4.2 kW | integrated | SIGMA CONTROL 2 |
404 l/min at 6 bar | 291 l/min at 11 bar | 11 bar | 3.1 kW | i.Comp CONTROL
404 l/min at 6 bar | 291 l/min at 11 bar | 11 bar | 3.1 kW | SIGMA CONTROL 2 | Integrated refrigeration dryer
570 l/min at 6 bar | 409 l/min at 11 bar | 11 bar | 4.2 kW | i.Comp CONTROL
570 l/min at 6 bar | 409 l/min at 11 bar | 11 bar | 4.2 kW | SIGMA CONTROL 2 | Integrated refrigeration dryer
TOWER or TOWER T - which variant is the right one?
Both versions are based on the same oil-free speed-controlled compressor block with single-stage compression and patented piston base intake. The difference lies in the equipment: the TOWER variant is supplied with the i.Comp CONTROL control unit and the KAESER-DRAIN electronic condensate drain - ideal if an external refrigeration dryer is already in place or no drying is required. The TOWER T variant is the complete turnkey solution: it combines the compressor with an integrated refrigeration dryer, the superior SIGMA CONTROL 2 controller with pressure preselection and network connection as well as the ECO-DRAIN 31 condensate drain, which operates loss-free.
Typical areas of application for oil-free i.Comp compressors
KAESER i.Comp oil-free piston compressors are particularly suitable for applications where no oil residue is tolerated in the compressed air:
- Dental practices & laboratories: Oil-free compressed air for medical instruments and laboratory equipment
- Food processing: Contamination-free compressed air for packaging and transportation
- Painting shops: Oil-free, dry compressed air for a perfect spray pattern (TOWER T)
- Electronics production: Pure compressed air for cleaning sensitive components
- Trade & workshop: Quiet, low-maintenance compressor without oil change and oil disposal
KAESER quality made in Germany
All i.Comp compressors are manufactured at the KAESER plant in Coburg. The housing made of rotationally molded polyethylene is impact-resistant, corrosion-free and sound-insulating - at a maximum of 65.7 dB(A), the i.Comp operates at room volume. The single-stage compression with patented piston base suction ensures an outstanding filling level and maximum efficiency. As the air is compressed oil-free, there is no need for oil changes and oil checks, and no oil-contaminated condensate is produced - this reduces operating costs and simplifies maintenance. All models are suitable for continuous operation up to 45 °C ambient temperature.
