Atlas Copco - Compressed Air Innovations for Industrial Productivity

Atlas Copco is an industry leader in creating industrial productivity solutions that provide compressors, quality air treatment and aftermarket services to the food and beverage production and process industries.

As the world’s largest compressor systems manufacturer, Atlas Copco ensures that reliability and efficiency are the principal drivers of its innovative, value packed developments - advanced technology that delivers improved reliability, offers flexibility in selection and reduces installation, operating and maintenance costs.

Atlas Copco’s unrivalled reputation for product and systems innovation is evidenced in a continuous programme of introductions within its industrial, process and quality air ranges. The result is an extensive portfolio of product solutions designed to reflect the individual needs of compressed air users.

STATIONARY AND PORTABLE COMPRESSED AIR EQUIPMENT

Atlas Copco has built its reputation on a simple philosophy: to provide equipment and services that ensure a reliable supply of compressed air at maximum efficiency and the lowest possible running cost.

Atlas Copco can deliver a stationary or portable compressed air equipment solution for every application - a compressor to meet every need, from the smallest standard packaged piston unit through an impressive range of rotary screw, oil injected, oil-free and variable speed drive units, revolutionary water-injected screw compressors, the largest range of blowers and centrifugal process equipment through to unique, dual output compressors producing both nitrogen and compressed air.

OIL-FREE COMPRESSED AIR

Atlas is the first manufacturer to offer 100% certified oil-free compressed air, as well as being the first compressor manufacturer to be certified ISO 8573–1 Class 0 for its Z-series of oil-free rotary screw air compressors. This now extends across its oil-free compressor range, thus providing customers involved within a wide range of sensitive process industry applications with the assurance of zero risk of oil-contamination, zero risk of damaged or unsafe end products, and zero losses resulting from unscheduled operational downtime

AIR COMPRESSOR DRYERS, FILTERS AND DRAINS

Because the quality of air is vital to equipment operation and end product quality within manufacturing and process applications, Atlas Copco has developed a complementary range of dryers, filters, drains and other ancillary equipment that includes radical new quality air products.

This includes the latest membrane drying technology, incorporating the most advanced air/water separation fibre techniques, as well as lightweight, easy-push fit, corrosion-free AIRnet pipework systems.

COMPRESSED AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Atlas Copco’s commitment to providing food industry users with the highest availability and the lowest operational costs in compressed air production is clearly demonstrated by its state-of-the-art suite of local, central and remote monitoring solutions.

Its unmatched range of aftermarket products and services include AIRConnect, a service that connects any compressed air system to Atlas Copco’s own sophisticated, automated 24/7 Internet-based monitoring system. For added value, AIROptimiser provides hardware and software for total energy optimisation yet requires minimal investment costs for continual savings; it also provides an annual AIRScan compressed air audit.

COMPRESSED AIR EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE

Atlas Copco’s aftermarket role extends beyond the compressor room; its objective is to manage the entire air network from generation to point of use. The ultimate aim is to provide a single source for service of all a customer’s compressed air equipment, irrespective of its manufacturer. This means that Atlas Copco is able to reduce a company’s supplier base and consequently achieve significant reductions of operating costs for its customers.

The programme also concentrates on air treatment at generation, throughout the factory floor and right to its point of use to ensure a supply of high quality air that contributes to reduced downtime for production equipment and minimises spoilage of end product.
