2 - 01 ECO Line Compressors Instruction Manual Description of the compressor and its component parts The equipment is an oil-less compressor designed to supply compressed air for dental and/or medical applications. Exploiting the rotation of the crankshaft, the pistons draw in air from the place where the compressor is installed via the air-intake filter, pressurise it, and transfer it to the air receiver for storage.
