Structure Features:

  • Full stainless steel air-end for corrosion-free operation
  • Integrated aftercooler with separator
  • Refrigerant dryer mounted on same skid
  • Sound-attenuated enclosure
  • Vibration-isolated mounting feet

Working Principle:
Two non-lubricated screw rotors mesh to compress air without any oil injection. The compressed air passes through an integrated separator, then through a refrigerated dryer to reduce dew point to +3°C. The Elektronikon MK5 controller modulates inlet valve to match demand precisely.

Key Features:

  • Zero oil contamination — suitable for food, pharmaceutical, electronics
  • Integrated dryer eliminates need for separate drying equipment
  • Variable speed modulation via inlet valve control
  • Touchscreen controller with real-time monitoring, alarm logging, energy tracking
  • Full network connectivity — remote monitoring via Elektronikon Central

Advantages:

  • Eliminates oil carryover risk entirely
  • Reduced footprint — compressor and dryer on single skid
  • Energy savings of up to 35% versus fixed-speed units via load/unload modulation
  • Minimal maintenance — no oil changes, no oil filters

Applicable Industries:

  • Food & Beverage
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
  • Semiconductor & Electronics
  • Medical Devices
  • Automotive Painting (oil-free zones)
  • Laboratory & Clean Room Environments

Installation Requirements:

  • Indoor installation in well-ventilated area
  • Ambient temperature: 0°C to +45°C
  • Floor must support minimum 1200 kg
  • Electrical supply: 400V / 3Ph / 50Hz (verify local standard)
  • Minimum clearance: 1.0 m on intake side, 0.7 m on discharge side
  • Condensate drain connection required

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not exceed rated pressure of 10 bar
  • Replace air filters per schedule — typically every 4000 hours
  • Monitor dew point regularly — integrated dryer requires ambient temp below +45°C
  • Ensure intake air is filtered — use Atlas Copco recommended intake filter (Fx series)
