Jun-Air 6-J Mini Air Compressor

• Supplying compressed air to laboratory instruments requiring a clean, oil-free air source.
• Powering small pneumatic tools and actuators in research and development settings.
• Providing air for analytical equipment such as spectrophotometers or chromatographs.
• Use in cleanroom environments where air purity is critical.

Typical capacity

For this class of mini compressor, free air delivery typically ranges from 15 to 30 litres per minute at 5-7 bar.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard single-phase UK mains supply, typically 230V, 50Hz.

Noise level

Mini compressors designed for laboratory use are typically very quiet, often below 45 dB(A).

Air quality

This model is designed to provide oil-free compressed air, crucial for sensitive instruments.

Footprint

Mini compressors are compact, often designed for benchtop placement or integration into systems.

Pressure range

Operating pressures commonly range from 5 to 8 bar, depending on the specific unit's configuration.

• What is the benefit of an oil-free compressor?

  Oil-free compressors prevent oil contamination in the compressed air, which is critical for sensitive laboratory instruments and processes where air purity is paramount.

• Is this compressor suitable for continuous operation?

• What maintenance is typically required for a unit like this?

• Can this compressor be used in a cleanroom?

• What kind of air dryer is typically integrated or recommended?

Used air compressors for lab and pharma applications are generally valued for reliability and cost savings. Buyers typically prioritize checking maintenance history, confirming pressure ratings meet specific requirements, and verifying oil-free operation where contamination control matters. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, consistent performance across extended operational hours, and significant capital cost reduction compared to new units. Inspecting seals, checking for corrosion, and confirming recent servicing records are standard considerations when purchasing secondhand.
