Emeraude FE
Overview of the Emeraude FE Series
Kobelco screw air compressor is a leading Japanese brand in the field. oil-free screw air compressor, famous for durability, precision, and stringent quality standards.
The single-stage Emeraude FE focus on stable performance, long-term reliability with absolutely clean air, suitable for continuously operating central compressed air systems.
Power range: 22 – 55 kW
Application orientation: clean air – 24/7 operation – high standards.
Why choose the Kobelco Emeraude FE oil-free air compressor?
In a sensitive manufacturing environment:
- Gas mixed with oil → the gas stream and contaminate the product.
- Oil accumulates → Damage to valves, cylinders, and sensors
- Complex maintenance → Complex maintenance
Emeraude FE the problem was completely solved thanks to:
- No oil in the compressor chamber.
- The output air is absolutely clean.
- High stability during continuous operation.
Save energy with dual-stage compression technology.
- Low overall power consumption
- High performance thanks to two-stage compression.
- Absolutely clean compressed air quality.
Outstanding performance
Technology two-stage compression The Emeraude FE line delivers performance. higher, ranging from 8% to 28%. compared to conventional single-stage oil-free screw compressors.
Why save energy?
- The compressed air after the first stage is cooled by an intermediate heat exchanger before entering the second stage → reducing the required compression power.
- Reduced gas leakage in each compression chamber thanks to a lower compression ratio at each stage.
Result: Low power consumption – optimal operating efficiency.
Smart LCD controller – Easy to operate
The multi-function LCD screen allows for:
- Monitor the entire operational status.
- Adjust the discharge pressure.
- Record operational data.
- Display graphics, daily/weekly reports
- Automatic operation timer
Besides:
- Supports data export via Modbus (optional)
- The control panel is waterproof IP65

Reliability has been confirmed
- Dual vent design Prevents oil from entering the compression chamber → ensures compressed air absolutely oil-free
- Gamma Profile Rotor and Compression Casing designed using advanced FEM analysis → increased durability and stability
- Second stage compressor head coating MoS₂ and stainless steel → Superior corrosion resistance
- Continuous and stable operation in the environment 40°C ±5°C

- For fixed-speed lines, the starting system uses star-delta circuit.
- Standard intake air conditions:
Absolute suction pressure 0.10 MPa – Suction temperature 20°C – Humidity 0% RH. - The exhaust gas flow rate is converted to standard intake air conditions.
- The discharge pressure is measured at the location after the air cooler.
- Noise levels were measured in an anechoic chamber, at a distance from the front of the machine. 1,5 m and tall 1 m compared to the floor, when the machine is operating at full load.
- Compressed air is generated. not to be used directly for respiratory purposes unless it has gone through a specialized processing system
- Nominal working pressure:
• With a design pressure of 0.75 MPa → actual operating pressure: 0,70 MPa
• With a design pressure of 0.86 MPa → actual operating pressure: 0,80 MPa - The cooling system is dependent on ambient conditions. Therefore, good ventilation is necessary to maintain the temperature of the machine room. Not exceeding 40°C.
- Using Genuine KOBELCO lubricating oil as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Specifications and designs are subject to change without prior notice.
