Worlds first PET Class 0 blowing compressors

摘要

Atlas Copco has announced that its ZD high-pressure compressors are the first in the world to offer PET packaging production the security of 100%-certified, oil-free air with a Class 0 certification.rnRisk of any contamination by oil is effectively eliminated during PET bottle blowing for the bottled water, soft drink, fruit juice and beverage industry. Testing for the ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certification was carried out using the most stringent test methods available, simulating realistic industrial environments. At all test conditions, no traces of oil could be detected and the compressed air was certified to be in the category Class 0 in terms of oil content.rnThe Atlas Copco ZD remains the most energy-efficient and silent 40-bar compressor available, while maintaining the flexibility and reliability required by the high-volume PET blowing market.
