As we reflect on 2016, we at Atlas Copco see success. As part of our commitment to sustainable productivity, we continued to unveil new compressor technology and improve existing models.

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights:

DSZ Vacuum: The new design offers removable stainless steel claws that are easy to clean and features easily changeable seals. Because of its innovative structure, the DZS can be reassembled without touching the drive train, saving a massive amount of downtime and expense. The modular design of the pumping chamber, gearbox and silencer allows for replacement of individual components in the case of failure due to process upsets, resulting in higher efficiency and lower life cycle costs.

GA 30+, 37 and 45: The free air delivery (FAD) and specific energy requirement (SER) of the GA 30+, 37 and 45 have both been improved by 1 percent. Each model now offers low noise levels down to 65 dB(a) for extremely quiet operation. The new GA 30+, 37 and 45 provide 30 percent smaller footprints than previous editions.

GA VSD+: Atlas Copco has added their ground breaking variable speed drive plus (VSD+) technology to its entire range of GA oil-injected rotary screw compressors. VSD+ is now available worldwide in all pack and full feature versions of GA compressors. The technology was previously only offered on the GA 7-37 models.

OSS Oil-Water Separator: The OSS utilizes an advanced absorption media to reach purity levels below 15 ppm at flows up to 60 cfm. Condensate quality can easily be checked at the outlet on a regular basis with an optional sampling kit. A compact footprint and lightweight design allow the OSS to be wall mounted for easy access and replacement. A disposal cap and plug make a clean replacement routine possible, and the entire unit is 100 percent recyclable.

New website: Atlas Copco’s line of innovative products is now available online in the new Atlas Copco Compressor Store. Customers can directly order 2-50HP compressors for a variety of applications, from shop compressors to full featured packages. Customers can choose from oil-free or oil-injected compressors, high-pressure compressors or low-pressure blowers, as well as gas generators, turbo expanders and more. Quality air solutions are also available, including dryers, coolers, filters, electric drains and oil-water separators.

As you and your facility look toward the New Year, make a resolution to recommit to your compressed air system. Using top quality products and services will ensure your machines run smoothly and efficiently while helping you save money with energy efficient models.
