In the last 12 months, we have released numerous innovative products engineered to reduce energy consumption and improve performance. However, according to a poll we conducted this year, 64 percent of plants surveyed have not made changes to their compressed air systems in the last two years. If you are one of the 64 percent, it’s time to take inventory of your compressed air system and consider upgrading to more efficient equipment.
Here are a few of the new Atlas Copco products released in 2013:
GVS Oil-Sealed Rotary Screw Vacuum Package: The GVS is Atlas Copco’s first packaged vacuum system for “rough vacuum” operations between 29.9 in-HgV and 15 in-HgV. The GVS delivers capacities between 365 to 3,000 cfm, making it the ideal machine for applications in the electronics, woodworking, bottling and canning, packaging, printing and plastics industries.
SmartLink Data Monitoring: Our compressor monitoring program offers advanced, 24/7 data monitoring. When integrated with the Elektronikon controller, SmartLink provides plant operators with the tools to recognize and react to performance changes in real-time.
DD+, PD+, DDp+ and PDp+ filters: Our new compressed air filters feature a micro-glass fiber filter media and a six layer wrapped construction to ensure high purity filtration, while guaranteeing consistent performance over the filter lifetime. The new generation of filters also features increased efficiency and energy savings by reducing system pressure drops and is now fully certified according to ISO standards.
