Permanent ready medical practice devices are worth to make them as energy saving as possible, but the high demands in reliability and hygienic requirements make this a challenging task, as technologies cannot easily be substituted with some disruptive new ones. 

Sometimes it is better to maintain a basic technology that has proven its reliability for decades and the integration of innovative improvements ought to bring the desired result. This has been realized with the new Silver Airline compressor series, which must provide oil-free and hygienic pressurized air to fulfil its demands in dental practices. It is the core element of a comprehensive product family of supply devices for all common sizes of surgeries. It distinguishes by a more effective power output and has an improved cooling system. It is the first and yet only compressor with the latest generation of high-end virus and bacteria filters which enhance the hygienic security to the safest possible level. 

The design represents capability that does not need to be noisy. This was visualized by the repetition of horizontal elements that appear similarly in the metal parts and by utilizing a characteristic V-shape. 

Accordingly, the way of the air stream is formally indicated, whereas the parts concerned as well improve functionality with their defined air intake section geometry for example. The newly introduced black cover elements at the cylinders reduce flow losses and noise and optimize the cooling effect. So, less heat arises, the thermal efficiency could be increased and accordingly the energy consumption. 

The modular construction allows besides a lean implementation of versions from one to four cylinders and can - like here - be operated in a tandem configuration. All can be fully integrated into the according software system for surgeries. 

Since decades Dürr Dental is market leader for oil free dental piston compressors in the dental market, which are capable to generate not only hygienic and dry pressurized air, but also provide highest reliability and are more and more efficient and less noisy today. 

The innovative technique is visualized by an authentic design that embodies power. It assures the clients to receive the best and most reliable product in the market.
