Our monthly newsletter covers product updates, tips for air compressor maintenance, local news, and valuable insights into the world of compressed air and vacuum pump technology.
Top Tip: Assess your compressed air system regularly
Of all the energy used for generating compressed air, a large part of it is not used for a variety of reasons. The first place to start minimising waste is to assess your air system, preferably twice a year. This can range from a simple visual inspection to a complete air audit. Air leakages are one of the biggest sources of energy loss for many compressed air users. Performed by our energy consultants, an Airscan audit can identify waste and knock thousands off your energy bill
See our new vacuum pumps at Hannover Messe
Atlas Copco is showing an array of vacuum pump innovations at ComVac in Hannover, including larger models of GHS VSD+ screw vacuum pumps offering 3000-5000 m3/hr; a new range of single-stage, oil-sealed rotary vane pumps; a multi-claw vacuum pump with VSD technology; liquid rings pumps; and an electrical multi control cabinet.
886 million cups of tea!
That's the amount of energy our VSD compressors have helped UK industry save in just one year, which is equivalent to approximately 22,140,700 kWh or over 10 million kg of C02.

50 years of oil-free compressors
In 1967 Atlas Copco was the first company to launch stationary, oil-free, electrically driven compressors, the Z series. And the Z range were the first compressors to achieve ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) and ISO 22000 certification. 100% guaranteed, oil-free compressed air to ensure both reputation and bottom line are protected – essential for manufacturers who find that air quality is essential to their production process.
Powerful yet quiet compressors for bodyshop owners and SMEs
A new generation of powerful yet quiet oil-injected rotary screw workplace air compressors are available in 7 kW, 11 kW and 15 kW variants with flows varying from 29.5-68.7 cfm. The G7-15 series of compressors offer a number of enhancements in terms of energy efficiency, reliability, and Free Air Delivery to SMEs and body shops alike.
Do you recall the ESOS audit?
If you were eligible to take an ESOS audit, did you put in place the energy savings revealed by it? Atlas Copco’s Dirk Ville explains how UK manufacturing companies may be missing out, in this article in Plant & Works Engineering.
