To make sure customers’ plants remain fully operational and can successfully manage a peak in production, Atlas Copco Rental designed a sustainable electric-driven 100% oil-free Total Solution that helped keep production going.
High quality comes standard
When you think about it, glass is all around us. It can be mass-produced; it is sturdy and highly adaptable. That’s why it is used in applications like architecture all the way to the storage of food and beverages. The latter is what Atlas Copco Rental’s customer produces. They are one of the largest global manufacturers of glass containers for food and beverages. The company’s plants have more than 200 years of glassmaking expertise and modern well-equipped production facilities that allow them to deliver their products both domestically and abroad. In 2019, the customer produced approximately 16 billion bottles and jars.
A Solution that is both 100% and Class 0
For us consumers, the availability of glass bottles and jars might be something taken for granted. From wine to soda or pasta sauce, we use it just about every single day. Due to the seasonal increase in demand for glass during summer, Atlas Copco Rentals’ customer temporarily amped-up production. However, the glass production process isn’t straightforward. It consists of many stages to make a high-quality final product out of raw materials, which is capable of safely storing its contents. It goes without saying that air quality is paramount. From cooling air to glass blowing. Even the smallest amount of oil contamination can be hazardous and result in an inferior product. To ensure the end-product is as “clear” as possible, oil-free air is required. Atlas Copco Rental’s wide range of electric or diesel-driven 100% oil-free ISO 8573-1 Class Zero compressors are ideal for critical applications like this.
The Total Solution for the job
In this case, Atlas Copco Rental provided an electric-driven 100% oil-free air solution for two applications. Firstly, to assist in managing an increase in production. Secondly, maintenance of the customer’s compressed air-cooling installation.
The working parameters:
- 100% oil-free air
- Dry air with a dew point of -40°C
- Air flow: of 80 – 90m³/min
- Pressure: up to 10 bar
Atlas Copco Rentals’ team designed an electric-driven solution that was more than capable of meeting our customer’s expectations. At the center of the setup was the PTE 1500. The PTE has multiple advantages. It is quiet, safe, reliable, and provides maximum air quality. Here’s the Total Solution:
- 2 x PTE 1500
- 2 x CD 780 Dryers
- Accessories (like hoses, etc.)
- Our Service Technician working on-site, making sure everything runs smoothly.
The Atlas Copco Rental team was able to meet the customer’s air needs during summer and maintenance of their equipment went according to schedule – and with no losses in production.
