Atlas Copco Oil Free Screw Compressor & Dryer

• Providing clean, oil-free compressed air for pneumatic systems in food production.
• Supplying air for packaging machinery where product contamination must be avoided.
• Operating control valves and instrumentation in sensitive processing environments.
• Utilised in pharmaceutical manufacturing for critical applications.
• General workshop use where high-quality, dry air is beneficial.

Typical capacity

For this class of compact oil-free screw compressor, capacities commonly range from 5 to 15 CFM (cubic feet per minute).

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 400V, three-phase electrical supply, suitable for industrial environments.

Operating pressure

Commonly, these compressors are designed to deliver air at pressures around 7 to 8 bar (100-115 PSI).

Oil-free operation

As an oil-free screw compressor, it delivers air free from oil contamination, crucial for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Integrated dryer

The inclusion of an integrated dryer ensures the compressed air is dry, preventing moisture-related issues in downstream equipment.

Footprint

Compact models like this are designed to have a relatively small footprint, making them suitable for installations with limited space.

• Why is an oil-free compressor important for food processing?

  Oil-free compressors prevent oil contamination of the compressed air, which is critical for maintaining product integrity and safety in food and beverage production, avoiding costly recalls.

• What does the integrated dryer do?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of unit?

• Can this unit be used for continuous operation?

• What are the benefits of a screw compressor over a piston compressor?

Access control and production support systems are valued for their role in maintaining facility security, hygiene compliance, and operational efficiency. Buyers typically prioritise units with robust construction, clear audit trails, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should verify electronic components function reliably, examine wear on access mechanisms, and confirm software licensing remains valid. Industry sentiment favours systems demonstrating consistent performance records and straightforward maintenance requirements, particularly those serving food safety standards and minimising production downtime.
