What is the greatest advancement in air compressor technology in the past few years?
In order to understand recent advancements in compressor technology, it is helpful to look first at the innovations of the past.
Atlas Copco invented the piston compressor nearly 110 years ago. Then, in 1955, we introduced our first compressor with screw technology. From there, we introduced both the world’s first mobile screw compressor that produced oil-free compressed air and the oil-free, stationary, Z Series in 1967.
It wasn’t until 1994 that we unveiled the world’s first economical to manufacture variable speed drive compressor, changing the industry forever by offering a compressor that provided energy savings of 35%.
Now, nearly twenty years later, we have revolutionized the compressor industry again with the introduction of the VSD+, which provides energy savings of 50% along with a laundry list of innovative features. Years of research, development and testing have yielded the greatest advancement in air compressor technology in recent times.
