Get to know our ZR oil-free VSD+ compressors

• Designed for reliability. Atlas Copco's ZR range of compressors is known for its long life and dependability and the newest addition to the family goes above and beyond. The vision for the redesigned model was centred around simplicity and serviceability, cutting out everything that could impact upon your machine's uptime.
• We built it with efficiency in mind. Between our novel in-house designed interior permanent magnet motors and the reliable NEOS inverter, also designed by Atlas Copco, the ZR VSD⁺ range delivers as much as 10% more compressed air flow to your production line
• The days when a compressor's running costs were irrelevant are long gone - the ZR range offers best in class energy efficiency backed by Atlas Copco reliability! You save as much as 15% in energy costs with the latest VSD⁺ models when compared to other VSD models
• Coming off a production line that has just been re-certified for ISO22000, your ZR compressor guarantees the delivery of Class 0 oil-free air. Choose the 'full-feature', integrated-dryer option for unbeatable compressed air quality at the compressor outlet

Investing in oil-free technology is the best way to safeguard the integrity of your process and guarantee the quality of your product. Our ZR VSD⁺ range is certified to deliver Class 0 and is made on a production line that is compliant with ISO22000. But your compressed air system is not made up only of your compressor. Sensitive applications such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, electronics and automotive have stringent requirements where air quality is concerned, most commonly defined through the ISO8573-1:2010 standard. This standard defines the maximum level contaminants (particles, water and oil) which can be present in the compressed air used for an application.

Most commonly, sensitive applications such as these highlighted require dry compressed air. Because traditionally compressors with integrated dryers are only available with a refrigerant dryer option (enabling a compressed air pressure dew point of +4°C), the dry air requirement meant your compressed air system had to include a desiccant dryer to achieve the standard needed. The most common solution was to add a heated blower purge dryer such as our CD+ or BD+ range of desiccant dryers, though Atlas Copco now offers zero purge options. The ZR VSD⁺ range of oil-free compressors offers a different method to meet your quality requirements. By integrating our most efficient compressed air drying technology, the latest ZR compressor offers you the benefit of a 25% smaller footprint for your installation and compressed air with a pressure dew point of -40°C at the compressor outlet. This is alongside the benefit of a reduced pressure drop that would have been brought on by the external dryer and required filtration. Recalling that lowering your compressor's pressure output by only 1 bar saves 7% in energy requirement, the financial benefit of a lower pressure drop becomes obvious.

The latest range of ZR 90-160 VSD+ compressor has so many benefits compared with other oil-free VSD compressors, that it truly can be called a leap forward in compressor technology.

The range is ideal for applications in the food & beverage, electronics, automotive, textile and pharmaceutical industries, which require oil-free air to guarantee product integrity and quality. Read more in our press release.
