Ideal for applications in the food and beverage, electronics, automotive, textile and pharmaceutical industries, the water-cooled ZR 90-160 VSD+ is housed in a soundproof, enclosed canopy and equipped with two permanent magnet motors, plus a new compressor element and cooler design.
The ZR 90-160 VSD+ compressor incorporates two permanent magnet motors, each independently driving the low and high-pressure compression elements.
The speed of the elements is controlled using Atlas Copco’s NEOS Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology.
Mark Ranger, business line manager for oil-free air at Atlas Copco UK, said: “Following years of intensive R&D we’re proud to unveil our latest leap forward in oil-free compressor technology.
“Not only does the innovative dual-motor concept enhance energy efficiency and output by up to 15% and 10% respectively, but there is the optional benefit of having an integrated, guaranteed -40oC pressure dew-point dryer that offers almost zero energy consumption. This Full Feature package will offer users true peace of mind, reduced installation materials and a through-life cost of ownership investment lower than any comparable oil-free compressor available today.”
Atlas Copco’s data monitoring program ‘SMARTLINK’ is also integrated as standard in the new range.
