The Atlas Copco range of piston compressors is one of the most extensive you will find on the market. Our machines are available in oil-free and oil-lubricated technology, have pressure variants available for requirements as high as 450 bar, and applicable for gasses other than air. With crosshead and trunk build up and with applications up to 1MW, we are sure to have a solution for your needs, whatever those may be.

Key Benefits:

• Reciprocating compressor technology is cheaper
• Maintenance technicians are easier to find
• Piston compressor spare parts are readily available

Variants of Piston Compressors:

• Oil-Lubricated Piston Compressors

Compact single-stage oil-lubricated, v-configuration, reciprocating compressors in the 10-bar 1.5 to 15kW range are best suited for applications with limited space requirements. In these designs, a lightweight compressor block, directly coupled to the motor provides excellent cooling characteristics and smooth integration in small spaces.

• Oil-Free Piston Compressors

Oil-injected compression, even with filtration, cannot guarantee that all oil vapours and aerosols are removed from the compressed air. For this reason, many leading compressor manufacturers offer oil-free air technology, employing sealed for life bearings and PTFE or carbon piston rings to remove any risk of contamination, which should ideally be designed to meet the certified ISO 8573-1 Class 0 standard in air quality.
