Andy Pulley, Team Leader and Product Specialist at Atlas Copco Compressors, examines IE5, regarded as the IEC’s gold standard in motor efficiency, and how it has been exceeded by the company’s in-house designed motor for air compressors.

The new, compact CD 20?-335? is the first compressed air dryer to use the Cerades ceramic solid structural desiccant and has been developed and patented by Atlas Copco to achieve improved air quality, at lower energy and service costs, along with environmental and health protection benefits.

Atlas Copco’s compressed air and vacuum systems upgrade for brick maker Wienerberger Ltd is resulting in significant savings in energy costs, estimated to be around £38K per annum, along with reduced CO2 emissions and production downtime – plus, the added benefit of a short-term payback.

Atlas Copco has launched the DZS 100 - 400 VSD+ series of air-cooled, oil-free claw vacuum pumps for particularly harsh applications.

At a celebratory event in London, media and guests heard how Atlas Copco had been established in the UK with a single sales office selling diesel engines at the end of World War 1.

Central controllers are the backbone of an optimised compressor installation, managing the whole compressor room, matching the air supply to demand while offering pressure stability, and contributing significantly to energy efficiency. It is a proven fact that a 1bar pressure band reduction can achieve as much as 7 percent in direct energy cost savings.

Atlas Copco introduced several new high-flow filters and activated carbon towers that offer the highest possible standards in preventing dust and oil contamination within oil-injected air compressors and air treatment systems.
