EP-CMW18-1.2 Oil-Free Scroll Air Compressor
The EP-CMW18-1.2 is a 25 HP quad-scroll oil-free air compressor delivering 1440 L/min at up to 1.2 MPa — the highest-output model in the CMW series, purpose-built for large-scale industrial operations demanding maximum clean-air capacity with zero oil contamination.
EP-CMW18-1.2 | 25 HP Quad-Scroll Oil-Free Compressor — Maximum Capacity at 1.2 MPa
At the pinnacle of the CMW oil-free scroll series sits the EP-CMW18-1.2 — a 25 HP, quad-scroll compressor that represents the highest output configuration in Ever Power's current lineup of clean-air solutions. Four 4.5 kW permanent magnet scroll air-ends operate within a single, fully enclosed machine body to deliver a combined free air delivery of 1440 L/min at pressures ranging from 0.2 to 1.2 MPa. This makes it the go-to selection for large facilities where high-volume, high-pressure, and high-purity compressed air must be sustained throughout multi-shift or continuous production schedules.
The quad-scroll platform inherits all of the structural advantages of the CMW series — no oil in the compression chamber, direct-drive permanent magnet motors, stainless steel internal pathways, and intelligent load-balancing PLC control — while adding the critical operational benefit of built-in redundancy. With four independent compression modules, the system can continue production even while one unit undergoes scheduled maintenance, a resilience characteristic that single-scroll or twin-scroll designs cannot match at this capacity level.
For plant engineers and procurement teams evaluating high-capacity oil-free compressed air systems, the EP-CMW18-1.2 combines the reliability guarantees of modular scroll technology with the total-output performance traditionally reserved for far more complex — and far more maintenance-intensive — multi-stage oil-free screw compressor installations.

Quad-Scroll Modular Architecture: Built-In Redundancy for High-Demand Facilities
The EP-CMW18-1.2's defining engineering feature is its four-scroll modular architecture. Rather than scaling output by enlarging a single compression element — an approach that creates a single point of failure — Ever Power engineers a system where four fully independent 4.5 kW scroll air-ends share a common enclosure, control system, and discharge manifold. Each air-end can start, stop, and operate autonomously.
This modularity provides three distinct operational advantages that large facilities find critical:
01. Demand-Matched Energy Efficiency
The PLC controller activates only the number of air-ends required to meet current system pressure demand. During low-consumption periods — shift changes, weekends, reduced production — unused air-ends automatically shut down, reducing power consumption proportionally. This is fundamentally more efficient than throttling a large fixed-speed machine.
02. Automatic Master/Slave Rotation
The controller periodically reassigns which air-end serves as the master (primary load-carrier) and which serve as slaves (secondary support). This rotation strategy distributes cumulative operating hours evenly across all four units, preventing accelerated wear on any single air-end and maximizing the interval between major service events.
03. Operational Redundancy
If one of the four air-ends requires maintenance or triggers a fault, the remaining three continue to supply compressed air at 75% of full rated capacity. For facilities that cannot afford complete compressor shutdowns — continuous process manufacturing, hospital medical gas systems, mission-critical cleanrooms — this redundancy eliminates total system downtime risk.

Engineering Highlights

🔸 Globally Unique 1.2 MPa Scroll Design
Ever Power remains the only manufacturer worldwide to produce an oil-free scroll compressor series commercially rated to 1.2 MPa. Conventional scroll technology plateaus at 0.8–1.0 MPa. The high-rigidity square-frame air-end geometry and precision scroll tip-seal system make sustained 1.2 MPa operation structurally viable and warranty-backed.
🔸 Four Independent PM Motor Drives
Each of the four scroll air-ends is direct-coupled to its own IE4-rated permanent magnet inverter motor. Individual VSD control per air-end means each unit operates at its optimal efficiency point regardless of what the other three are doing. Motor protection is IP65 with Class F insulation, compatible with harsh and humid industrial environments.
🔸 Low Discharge Temperature, Low Dew Point
Each air-end is served by an independent cooling fan that maintains discharge air temperatures close to ambient. This fundamentally low discharge temperature reduces the condensation load on downstream dryers and keeps the pressure dew point at an inherently low baseline — particularly important for sensitive instrumentation and pharmaceutical process gas applications.
🔸 Full Stainless Steel Internal Path
From the 1 μm air intake filtration through the compression chamber, buffer tank, and 1-inch discharge connection, every surface that contacts compressed air is stainless steel. This zero-contamination pathway means the machine can serve as a direct process gas source for the most stringent quality standards — including USP and EU GMP.
🔸 Zero-Discharge Condensate Design
The EP-CMW18-1.2 operates as a zero-discharge system — no oil-contaminated condensate is produced or released. This eliminates the need for oil-water separators and the associated disposal costs and environmental compliance burden that conventional compressors impose on facility operators.
🔸 Compact Footprint for High Output
Delivering 1440 L/min from a machine body measuring 1450 × 900 × 1150 mm (350 kg) represents an exceptionally high output-to-footprint ratio for oil-free technology at 1.2 MPa. Facilities with constrained equipment rooms can achieve large-system compressed air performance without dedicating disproportionate floor space.
