ATLAS COPCO Air Compressor

• Powering pneumatic tools in workshops and light industrial settings.
• Supplying compressed air for various manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Used in cleaning and maintenance tasks, such as blow-down or drying.
• Suitable for inflation requirements in garages or small production lines.
• Providing air for painting and finishing applications in controlled environments.

Typical capacity

For this class (GX4FF EP), units commonly offer free air delivery in the range of 5-10 litres per second (L/s) or 10-20 cubic feet per minute (cfm).

Operating pressure

Units of this type typically operate at pressures up to 7.5, 10, or 13 bar.

Power supply

Atlas Copco GX series compressors are commonly found with a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, though single-phase options may exist for smaller models.

Motor power

A GX4FF EP model typically features a motor power of approximately 4 kW (5.5 hp).

Integrated dryer

The 'FF' in the model name indicates an integrated refrigerant dryer, providing dry air for sensitive applications.

Air receiver size

Units of this configuration commonly include an integrated air receiver, typically ranging from 200 to 270 litres.

Footprint

These are compact, 'all-in-one' units, designed to minimise floor space, typically measuring around 1.5m x 0.6m x 1.4m (L x W x H).

• What does 'FF' in the model name signify?

  The 'FF' designation in Atlas Copco models typically indicates that the unit includes an integrated refrigerant dryer and filters, providing dry and clean compressed air.

• Is this suitable for continuous operation?

• What kind of maintenance does a unit like this require?

• Can this compressor be moved easily?

• What are the benefits of an integrated dryer?

• What does 'Sold as seen' imply for a used compressor?

Used air compressors for lab and pharma applications are generally valued for reliability and cost savings. Buyers typically prioritize checking maintenance history, confirming pressure ratings meet specific requirements, and verifying oil-free operation where contamination control matters. Key strengths include durability when properly serviced, consistent performance across extended operational hours, and significant capital cost reduction compared to new units. Inspecting seals, checking for corrosion, and confirming recent servicing records are standard considerations when purchasing secondhand.
