Atlas Copco ZT 15-45 / 18-55 VSD Oil-free Tooth Compressor

Atlas Copco is renowned for designing and manufacturing the most durable oil-free tooth compressors.Atlas Copco ZT rotary tooth compressor comes out of this strong tradition. Atlas Copco ZT 15-45, ZT 18-55 VSD oil-free tooth compressor series includes ZT15VSD, ZT18VSD, ZT22VSD, ZT30VSD, ZT37VSD, ZT45VSD models, which are very suitable for industries that require high-quality oil-free air. It provides the highest reliability and safety while reducing energy consumption.

To provide you with top-quality, 100% oil-free air, our ZT series incorporate a range of advanced technologies. The unique rotary tooth element increases efficiency thanks to two-stage compression. As no venting of the pressure element is required, the energy consumption is considerably lower compared to single stage compression systems. With its symmetrical and dynamically balanced design, the double tooth element ensures an increased free air delivery and delivers consistent performance over time.

## Introducing the Atlas Copco ZT Tooth Compressor Technology

At the core of the specified ZT compressor range lies Atlas Copco’s proven oil-free tooth technology. This design utilizes two precision-engineered intermeshing rotor elements within the compression chamber. As these rotors turn, they draw in air, trap it in pockets between the rotor “teeth” and the housing, and progressively reduce the volume of these pockets. This action effectively compresses the air. Crucially, there is no oil injected into this compression chamber for lubrication or sealing. Instead, the system relies on extremely fine tolerances between the rotors and specialized rotor coatings developed by Atlas Copco. Therefore, this technology ensures that the compressed air generated is completely free from added oil contamination originating within the compressor element itself.

## Exploring the ZT 15-45 Fixed Speed Range

The Atlas Copco ZT 15-45 models represent the fixed-speed segment within this oil-free air compressor family. These units are engineered for durability and consistent performance. They are particularly well-suited for applications where the demand for compressed air remains relatively stable over time. These compressors typically feature robust drive trains, efficient air or water cooling systems, and integrated control systems. Furthermore, their design focuses on providing a reliable source of high-quality oil-free air with straightforward operation and maintenance, making them a dependable workhorse for many industries needing Class 0 air.

## Key Advantages of the Atlas Copco Oil-free Tooth Compressor

## 100% oil-free air by oil-free rotary tooth compressor

Your activities in pharmaceutical production, food processing, critical electronics or in a similarly exacting industry demand the best air quality for a guaranteed end product and production process. Designed with your specific applications in mind, our rotary tooth compressors eliminate the risks of oil contamination and the accompanying product spoilage, brand damage and delays that represent extra costs. Preventing oil from entering the compression process is a necessity for the generation of consistent 100% oil-free air. Certified ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 by the renownedTÜV institute, the ZT ensure the safety of your application and at the same time allow you to enjoy lower operating and maintenance costs.

## Reduced energy costs

As energy accounts for more than 70% of a compressor’s lifecycle costs (LCC), its importance is obvious. The most cost-effective compressed air solution optimizes the pressure, volume and air treatment equipment for each production process. Our ZT compressors provide you with the ultimate all-in-one package to decrease your electricity bill by an average of 35%. To help you save energy, regardless of whether you require a low or high-capacity compressor, our VSD range has been expanded with the ZT 18 VSD and the ZT 55 VSD.

## Proven peace of mind

For sixty years, Atlas Copco has been leading the industry in oil-free compressed air technology, drawing on vast experience and continuous technological innovations.You can rest assured at all times: severe certification and testing procedures are conducted to ensure air is supplied to the highest standards of quality control. Backed by extensive know-how in the field of developing the most reliable quality air solutions, we are the only manufacturer that offers such a vast range of different technologies to match your exact needs. This ensures that you can always find the perfect solution for your specific application.

## Application Scenarios

Pharmaceuticals

● 100% oil-free air is vital to prevent contamination of processes (e.g. fermentation, aeration, tablet coating, packing and bottling, automated production lines).

● CLASS 0 eliminates risks and maintains high product quality and professional brand reputation.

Food & beverage

● 100% pure, clean,oil-free air for all kinds of applications (e.g. fermentation, packaging, aeration, transportation, filling & capping, cleaning, instrument air).

● ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) certification to avoid compromising the purity of your end product and ensure zero risk of contamination.

Electronics

● Clean, dry, high-quality air is essential, produced with optimal energy efficiency.

● Applications include the removal of microscopic debris from the surfaces of computer chips and computer boards.

Health care

● Ideal for hospitals, dental practices, veterinary labs or clinical work environments where maximum reliability is the main priority.

● Ultra-clean air to successfully perform clinical work and make sure your equipment functions effectively.

## Class 0: The Industry Standard

Oil-free air is used in all kinds of industries where air quality is paramount for the end product and production process. These applications include food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical and petrochemical processing, fermentation, wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, non-woven textile manufacturing and many more.

First in oil-free air technology

Over the past sixty years we have pioneered the development of oil-free air technology, resulting in a range of air compressors and blowers that provide 100% pure, clean air.Through continuous research and development, Atlas Copco achieved a new milestone, setting the standard for air purity as the first manufacturer to be awarded CLASS 0 certification.

Eliminating any risk

As the industry leader committed to meeting the needs of the most demanding customers, we requested the renownedTÜV institute to type-test its range of oil-free compressors and blowers. Using the most rigorous testing methodologies available, all possible oil forms were measured across a range of temperatures and pressures. TheTÜV found no traces of oil at all in the output air stream.
