Oil-injected Rotary Screw Compressors

Atlas Copco has turned the compressed air industry on its head by redesigning the conventional layout of a typical air compressor. Instead of the normal space-taking horizontal design, the new GA 7-37 VSD+ has an upright, vertical, low footprint layout. This saves valuable floor and work space, eases maintenance access, accelerates manufacturing time, and reduces the total cost of ownership for all customers.

  • Very low noise level, with separate compartments for drive train and cooling.


Line Air Filters

Atlas Copco’s UD+ filters efficiently reduce all types of contamination in your compressed air stream to protect your investment, equipment and processes. Thanks to its unique glass fiber filter media package, the UD+ offers a two-in-one filter technology, combining two filtration processes in one product. The UD+ offers the same reliability and high air purity as traditional filter packages (with two filters), but reduces pressure drops with 40% and saves space.

The UD+ is certified according to ISO 12500-1:2007 and ISO 8573-2:2007 standards by TÜV Rheinland and patents are pending.

Enhanced high-performance stainless steel filter cores

Enhanced high-performance stainless steel filter cores ensure ultimate strength and low risk of implosion.


Protection paper

Protection paper avoids direct contact between filter media and stainless steel filter core.


Epoxy sealed caps

Epoxy sealed caps for reliable filtration.


New, enhanced glass fiber media

New, enhanced glass fiber media ensure high filter efficiency, low pressure drop, and guaranteed lifetime performance. For oil coalescence filters, multiple layers are wrapped around each other to avoid the risk of early oil breakthrough.

Internal ribs

Internal ribs support the element and facilitate the route of oil droplets.

User Friendliness

Increased user friendliness and reliability via push-on element.

Double O-rings

Double O-rings guarantee proper sealing to reduce leakage risks and increase energy savings.

Dust filters

Dust filters the open foam acts as a pre-filter for the largest dust particles, which prolongs the filter lifetime.

Oil coalescence filters

Oil coalescence filters the double drainage layer (outer protection paper and foam) has a large drainage capacity which is ideal for variable speed compressors. Moreover, the poly-urethane foam avoids oil re-entrainment.

Oil Sealed Rotary Vane Vacuum Pumps

At Atlas Copco we have been developing state-of-the-art vacuum pumps for many years, utilizing our core technologies. We constantly aim to innovate, improve performance and target new application areas. The characteristics of our oil-sealed rotary vane vacuum pumps complement those that have made Atlas Copco the stand-out worldwide supplier of air solutions: high quality, impressive reliability and low lifecycle cost.

  • Easy to install due to compact, space-saving design.
  • High reliability through a rugged design and optimal oil retention at
    all operating pressures.
  • Low maintenance and wear due to optimally selected shaft speeds.
  • Low noise and vibration levels throughout the pressure range.

Robust Technology

The GV 18-300 series operates according to the proven oil-sealed rotary vane principle that has been successfully used for many years in all general vacuum applications of industry. The GV 18-300 series is a robust and highly regarded product coming from a technologically advanced market leading design.


Innovative features

Atlas Copco has packed the GV 18-300 range with innovative features that ensure the highest possible performance at the lowest possible lifecycle cost. The built-in gas ballast is fitted as standard to assist in water handling capability. Other integrated functions include the lubricant retention and return mechanism which means that these machines are suitable for continuous operation between 400 mbar(a) and their ultimate pressure.


Clean and efficient

The oil separation circuit of the GV 18-300 has been optimized to minimize oil vapors in the exhaust gas. The inlet non-return valve protects the vacuum pump against counter rotation in the event of stopping without venting. This device also protects the point of use against back sucking of oil.


PSA Nitrogen Generators

Atlas Copco’s new nitrogen generator uses Pressure Swing Adsorption technology to isolate nitrogen molecules from other molecules in compressed air. Oxygen, CO2, water vapor and other gasses are adsorbed. The result is virtually pure nitrogen at the outlet of the generator. The NGP series are a very costefficient source of nitrogen used in various industries like food and beverage, metal processing, electronics, and many others.
