ポラリス® Industrial Centrifugal Air Compressors
Keep production supplied with ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free air. Polaris combines efficient centrifugal compression, accessible maintenance and responsive controls to meet the demands of industrial operations.
Reliable Air, Lower Operating Costs
Polaris combines energy-efficient, oil-free compression with durable construction and accessible maintenance to help keep production moving and control operating costs. Built on FS-Elliott’s 60-plus years of engineering experience, it draws on the design heritage of PAP Plus compressors developed for demanding API applications.
Protect Product Quality & Production Equipment
FS-Elliott’s centrifugal air compressors are certified to ISO 8573-1 Class 0 for oil-free air, making them an ideal solution for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automotive manufacturing, where compressed air quality is critical to production processes.
Using oil-free compressed air helps minimize the risk of oil contamination, protect downstream equipment, maintain product quality, and reduce oil-removal filtration requirements and associated pressure drops. These benefits contribute to improved compressed air system efficiency, reliability, and long-term operational performance.
Designed for Efficiency, Built for Daily Demands
Polaris combines advanced impeller design, efficient intercooling, and adjustable inlet guide vanes to deliver the air your plant needs while helping control power consumption. These features support efficient performance as operating conditions and production demand change.
Our applications team evaluates your required flow, pressure, and demand profile to select a compressor suited to your facility. Matching equipment to the way your plant operates helps balance dependable air delivery with long-term energy costs.
Straightforward From Installation to Service
Polaris centrifugal air compressors combine durable construction, reliable performance, and maintenance-friendly design to simplify installation, operation, and long-term service. Our team works with customers to evaluate facility layouts, utility connections, and service clearances to support a smooth installation and startup process.
Building on the proven engineering heritage of PAP Plus compressors designed for demanding API applications, every compressor features a removable airend and horizontally split gear case for easier inspection, maintenance, and replacement. Straight-through intercooler tubes further simplify routine cleaning, helping reduce maintenance time, minimize downtime, and maintain reliable compressor performance throughout the equipment’s lifecycle.
The Intelligence Behind Better Performance
レグルス® control systems help your Polaris compressor respond to changing plant demand, combining operating data with capacity control to support reliable, efficient air delivery.
Real-time monitoring, alarms and diagnostics give operators visibility into compressor conditions. Depending on the selected system, Energy Advisor, maintenance notifications and Integrated Compressor Control provide additional tools to improve energy performance, plan service and coordinate multiple compressors.
Confidence That Continues After Startup
FS-Elliott’s factory-trained channel partners provide genuine OEM parts, service expertise, and technical support throughout your Polaris compressor’s life. From scheduled maintenance to future repairs, our team helps you plan ahead and protect your investment.
Polaris compressors include a comprehensive two-year standard warranty. For eligible units, SteadiAIR® 5 extends airend assembly coverage to five years, subject to program requirements. Your FS-Elliott representative can help you review coverage and plan ongoing service.

How to Specify a Centrifugal Compressor for Reliability and Lower Lifecycle Costs
When specifying a centrifugal compressor, the decisions made during the engineering phase can influence far more than equipment selection. Compressor specifications affect reliability, efficiency, project costs, installation requirements, controls architecture, lead times, and long-term operational performance.
FS-Elliott Centrifugal Air Compressors: Proudly Engineered and Manufactured in America
For over 60 years, FS-Elliott has proudly manufactured centrifugal compressors right here in the United States. From design and engineering to machining, assembly, and performance testing, our commitment to American manufacturing is deeply rooted in who we are as a company. We believe that building our products domestically isn’t just about location; it’s about delivering unmatched quality, responsiveness, and reliability to the industries that power our nation.
Site Conditions to Consider When Sizing your Compressor
Centrifugal compressors provide compressed air for a wide range of applications across various industries, including food and beverage processing, petrochemical plants, and oil refineries. While flow and pressure requirements often drive initial selection, site conditions ultimately determine how the compressor performs in real operation.
Ambient conditions such as temperature, pressure, and humidity directly affect air density, which in turn impacts mass flow, power consumption, and achievable capacity
