Highest reliability
ORTA has three factories in Bahrain, though ORTA has many Atlas Copco oil free screw compressors in operation, the weaving plant has six units of Atlas Copco 250 kW 2-stage oil-free screw air compressors. Three units out of these are air cooled and often see cooling temperature in excess of 50 deg C in summer. Despite the very arduous site conditions that these Air cooled oil free screw compressors witness each year, they have lasted since 1998 delivering uninterrupted performance and have clocked close to 100,000 operating hours each with no air end replacement. Atlas Copco Z compressors are built using the knowledge Atlas Copco has gained since 1954 when the first oil free screw compressor was built. Today Atlas Copco uses state of the art manufacturing technology, designing and building units according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000 & OHSAS 18001, providing highest efficiency & reliability.
