100% Oil-Free Air

Your activities in pharmaceutical production, food processing, critical electronics or in a similarly exacting industry demand the best air quality for a guaranteed end product and production process. Designed with your specific applications in mind, our rotary tooth compressors eliminate the risks of oil contamination and the  accompanying product spoilage, brand damage and delays that represent extra costs. Preventing oil from entering the compression process is a necessity for the generation of consistent 100% oil-free air. Certified ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 by the renowned TÜV institute, the ZR/ZT ensure the safety of your application and at the same time allow you to enjoy lower operating and maintenance costs.

Reduced Energy Costs

As energy accounts for more than 70% of a compressor’s lifecycle costs (LCC), its importance is obvious. The most cost-effective compressed air solution optimizes the pressure, volume and air treatment equipment for each production process. Our ZR/ZT compressors provide you with the ultimate all-in-one package to decrease your electricity bill by an average of 35%. To help you save energy, regardless of whether you require a low or high-capacity compressor, our VSD range has been expanded with the ZT 22 VSD and the ZR/ZT 55 VSD.

Pharmaceuticals

• 100% oil-free air is vital to prevent contamination of processes (e.g. fermentation, aeration, tablet coating, packing and bottling, automated production lines)
• CLASS 0 eliminates risks and maintains high product quality and professional brand reputation.

Food & Beverage

• 100% pure, clean, oil-free air for all kinds of applications (e.g. fermentation, packaging, aeration, transportation, filling & capping, cleaning, instrument air)
• ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) certification to avoid compromising the purity of your end product and ensure zero risk of contamination.

Electronics

• Clean, dry, high-quality air is essential, produced with optimal energy efficiency.
• Applications include the removal of microscopic debris from the surfaces of computer chips and computer boards.

Health Care

• Ideal for hospitals, dental practices, veterinary labs or clinical work environments where maximum reliability is the main priority.
• Ultra-clean air to successfully perform clinical work and make sure your equipment functions effectively.

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY, MAXIMIZED EFFICIENCY

To provide you with top-quality, 100% oil-free air, our ZR/ZT series incorporate a range of advanced technologies. The unique rotary tooth element increases  efficiency thanks to two-stage compression. As no venting of the pressure element is required, the energy consumption is considerably lower compared to single stage compression systems. With its symmetrical and dynamically balanced design, the double tooth element ensures an increased free air delivery and delivers consistent performance over time.

EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITY

Contrary to traditional compressor installations, our ZR/ZT WorkPlace Air System™ compressors effortlessly fit onto your work floor. With their compact footprint and integration of air treatment equipment, ZR/ZT compressors ensure optimum efficiency and reliability. Thanks to the vertical layout of the coolers, the noise levels from the fan, motor and element have been drastically reduced. Designed to give the most versatile source of compressed air, they provide you with an all-in-one package that will have your production running smoothly for years to come.

VSD: DRIVING DOWN ENERGY COSTS

Over 80% of a compressor’s lifecycle cost is taken up by the energy it consumes. Moreover, the generation of compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. To cut your energy costs, Atlas Copco pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology in the compressed air industry. VSD leads to major energy savings, while protecting the environment for future generations. Thanks to continual investments in this technology, we offer the widest range of integrated VSD compressors on the market.
