Why choose genuine compressor parts?
24 May, 2021
Each component of your compressor is vital for its overall performance, giving you the reliability, long lifetime and energy efficiency you expect.
Dust and dirt contamination may cause damage or performance losses of rotors and their housings. Specific filter elements and high grade filtration efficiency guarantee your installation’s uptime. Built to withstand high operating pressures, our filters have a superior service life thanks to their high dirt holding capacity and temperature resistance.
Alternative filters are often designed to accommodate multiple machines by making concessions to their specifications. A one-size-fits-all component may cause pressure drops, increased energy consumption or breakdowns. Only genuine Atlas Copco air and oil filters, guarantee the performance and integrity of your equipment.
Compressors operate in many different types of environment, affecting the inlet air. Impurities, such as dust particles, are mostly invisible to the naked eye. But they can cause damage to the compressor element, reducing its efficiency or even causing failure. They can also make the lubricant age faster and disrupt its capacity to protect metal components.
The air filter is designed to protect your equipment by keeping these particles out. Developed by our dedicated team of experts, it strikes a balance between highly efficient filtration, long lifetime and minimal pressure drop.

Impurities in the oil can cause damage to the compression element's rotors and housing, resulting in reduced performance and higher operational costs. They can also harm the bearings, leading to rotor contact, possible element failure and production downtime. Finally, they shorten the lifetime of components and of the oil itself.
The oil filter captures dust, deposits and other foreign particles, ensuring a clean oil flow to the compressor element. Apart from protecting the bearings and other mechanical components, it prevents premature clogging of the air/oil separator.

The compressed air that leaves the compressor element is a mixture of air and oil. However, to prevent contamination of production equipment or end products, you need high-quality air. That's why the oil content in the air that leaves the compressor should be reduced to an absolute minimum! The best in class oil-air separation guarantees a typical oil content of 2 ppm with an absolute maximum of 3 ppm.
In the air/oil separator, the oil mist is liquified intro droplets that collect at the bottom. From there, the oil is filtered and sent back to the compressor element.
