Building energy savings into your process

Did you know that compressed air generation can amount to over 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill? And that energy consumption can account for over 80% of a compressor’s lifecycle cost? For businesses serious about increasing their profits, energy consumption is an obvious target. It was therefore one of the leading design priorities of Atlas Copco.


Energy-saving components Our engineers took every opportunity to reduce energy consumption in these machines. The patented elements are designed in-house for maximum efficiency. A superior coating on the active surfaces of the stainless steel rotors contributes to the most efficient oil-free tooth technology in this capacity range. A unique Z seal design further reduces running costs and guarantees 100% certified oil-free air for your application. Oil-free Tooth Element – In-house designed. – Maximum efficiency of the working area. – 40% increased lifetime. – Unique Z seal design. – Atlas Copco superior rotor coating for high efficiency and durability. Motor – IP66 oil-cooled Permanent Magnet Motor with oil-lubricated bearings. – Class-leading efficiency (IE5 – 97%) and rock-solid reliability. – Full regulation between 30 to 100% of the maximum capacity ensuring energy savings at lower compressor air demand. Neos Next – Exceptional piece of engineering, developed in-house , allowing the unit to run at minimum speed during unload, reducing the unload power consumption to minimum. – With an IP54-rated protection from dust and dirt. – Operates dependably in hot conditions : up to 50°C /60°C by de-rating. – Entire electrical cubicle in one compact unit. – With VSD license enabled , your FLX is able to run anywhere between maximum and 30% of its capacity , allowing unmatched flexibility. VSD cooling fans The completely redesigned cooling air flow supported by a VSD cooling fan ensures maximum energy savings during unload. Plug & play – Integrated rotary drum dryer option (iMD) for moisture sensitive applications. – The Z FLX iD integrates a refrigerant dryer inside the compressor canopy.

Plug & play

– Integrated rotary drum dryer option (iMD) for moisture sensitive applications.
– The Z FLX iD integrates a refrigerant dryer inside the compressor canopy.

Optimized air flow

The ZT 30-55 FLX brings cool, dense air into the package for optimal compression efficiency. Carefully designed coolers and strategically positioned piping and components minimize pressure drop in the package, while zero-loss drains ensure that no compressed air is wasted.

Advanced control algorithms

Advanced algorithms control your equipment to save energy when demand is low. For example, timer functions can stop your machines at night and during the weekend if no compressed air is needed. Alternatively, a dual pressure band can be implemented with lower pressure settings for these periods.
