Description

Description ZR/ZT Screw Compressors

Our oil-free rotary screw compressors are designed to achieve low lifecycle costs and deliver high-quality air for industry standards.

ZR & ZT compressors are used in industries that require high compressed air quality standards such as Food & Beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive, medical, textile, power generation, chemical, battery, automotive industries, and many others. 

ZT 75 VSD+ Premium air-cooled oil-free rotary screw compressor internal components
Difference between ZR & ZT

By selecting either our ZR or ZT compressors, you can have the confidence that your processes and products are protected by clean air, with no contamination originating from the compressor.
 

The difference? The ZR is water-cooled, and the ZT is air-cooled. With pressure levels ranging from 3.5 up to 13 bar, we maximize your energy savings with our rotary screw technologies with optimal air quality.

Energy Efficiency

Designed for energy efficiency

The components of our ZR/ZT oil-free rotary screw air compressor range have been carefully designed in-house. This reduces losses and pressure drop to a minimum, resulting in the highest compressor package efficiency.

Our oil-less compressors are also class 0 certified, delivering the highest air purity at the lowest total cost of ownership. By using our rotary screw technologies you are guaranteed a reliable and efficient compressor.

  

Variable speed drive energy savings add up

Over 80% of a compressor's lifecycle cost is taken up by the energy it consumes.
The generation of compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant's total electricity bill. To cut your energy costs we have pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Technology in the compressed air industry.

Atlas Copco's VSD technology closely follows the air demand and automatically adjusts the motor speed, resulting in energy savings of up to 35%.

Recover your energy

Turn your compressor into an energy source. Our water-cooled screw compressors can be equipped with an Energy Recovery unit. This helps you achieve your low carbon economy goals. 

Up to 94% of the electrical energy is converted into compression heat. Without energy recovery, this heat is lost in the atmosphere. Our energy recovery unit uses compression heat to heat up water that can be used for sanitary purposes, space heating, or process applications.

Save energy with smart technology

Our compressor monitoring system saves energy by using advanced control algorithms. Our delayed second stop function uses air demand data to stop the compressor whenever possible. The dual pressure band can lower the pressure in your system during e.g. weekends and night shifts.

Our Elektronikon® controller is the brain of the compressor collecting data for optimal energy efficiency.

Monitor your system
It's important to know the status of your compressed air systems. With the Elektronikon® you can easily connect your controller with your mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.

Our SMARTLINK system allows mobile monitoring over a secure network. Monitoring your system not only saves you money but also avoids breakdowns and production losses.
Veolia Energy Poznań with Volkswagen Poznań have launched a joint project for industrial heat recovery. Energy, heat from industrial processes, is used to supply more than 30 buildings in the district Wilda, including the HCP hospital in Poznań. Thanks to our oil free screw compressors, which are necessary in the foundry of Volkswagen Poznań, this very energy-intensive process (up to 80% of the electricity consumed by the compressor goes into heat energy) is transformed to power the municipal heating system.
