CLASS ZERO: THE
INDUSTRY STANDARD
Oil-free air is used in all kinds of industries where
air quality is paramount. These applications include
food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical
manufacturing, petrochemical processing, wastewater
treatment, and many more. In these critical
environments, contamination by even the smallest
quantities of oil can result in costly production
downtime and product spoilage.
First in oil-free air technology
Over the past 60 years Atlas Copco has pioneered the development
of oil-free air technology, resulting in a range of air compressors
that provide 100% pure, oil-free 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
ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certification.
Eliminating any risk
As industry leader committed to meeting the needs of the most
demanding customers, Atlas Copco requested the renowned TÜV
institute to type-test its range of oil-free compressors. Using the
most rigorous testing methodologies available, all possible oil
forms were measured across a range of temperatures and
pressures. The TÜV found no traces of oil at all in the output air
stream. Thus Atlas Copco is the first compressor manufacturer to
receive Class 0 certification, according to ISO 8573-1 Class 0 Ed. 3
2010 specifications.
Controls and online monitoring
The next-generation Elektronikon
®
operating system
offers a wide variety of control and monitoring
features that allow you to increase your compressor’s
efficiency and reliability. To maximize energy
efficiency, the Elektronikon
®
controls the main drive
motor and regulates system pressure within a
predefined and narrow pressure band. The SF
+
2-6 are
equipped with a standard Elektronikon
®
controller,
while the SF
+
8-22 come with the advanced
Elektronikon
®
Graphic.
