Build energy savings into your process

With rising energy costs, reducing consumption is an obvious target for businesses wanting to reduce their operating expenses. For Atlas Copco, it is a leading design priority.

The ZR/ZT 30-55 FLX dual-speed rotary compressor is optimized to save energy in every component and throughout the lifetime of your investment.


It’s time to take control

On average, compressed air generation accounts for over 40% of a plant’s total electricity costs.

In a traditional installation, energy consumption represents more than 80% of a compressor’s lifecycle costs.


Class-leading energy efficiency

The oil-cooled permanent magnet motor leads its class in efficiency (IE5 – 97%). It allows full regulation between 30 to 100% of the maximum capacity, boosting versatility and ensuring energy savings at lower demand.

The oil-free tooth element is the most efficient in its power range. Its unique design and superior rotor coating also contribute to class-leading durability.

The purpose-designed cooling air flow, supported by a VSD cooling fan, ensures maximum energy savings during unload.


VSD: the gold standard for cost savings

Variable Speed Drive technology powers our most energy-efficient solutions. By automatically matching the motor speed to air demand, it can cut energy use by up to 35% and reduce your compressor’s life-cycle cost by an average of 22%.

If you are looking to future-proof your operation but are not yet ready to invest in VSD, the ZR/ZT 30-55 FLX will help you start saving now – while offering the option of upgrading to VSD later.
