Designed to replace the current GX2-7 range, they are said to be a low-cost solution for small companies, workshops and operations with an infrequent air demand that are looking to expand their compressed air applications.
Typical applications include woodworking, small-sized manufacturing, CNC operations, car wash bays, spray painting, clothing presses, automotive repair shops – all rely on a source of compressed air as an essential utility to aid their activities.
The G2-7 belt-driven, fixed-speed compressor family has been designed to provide quiet, efficient, powerful, and reliable performance within its five-model range. The 2.2, 3, 4, 5 and 7.5kW machines, each powered by an IE3 motor, are available at working pressures of 8 and 10 bar(e) with an output capacity range of 6.1 – 16.4 l/s (22.0 – 59.0 m3/hr).
Rotary screw air compressors deliver more air per kW of power compared to reciprocating compressors of the same size, according to Atlas Copco.
As well as simplified maintenance procedures and zero loss of capacity, the new compressors also offer 100% reliable, continuous operation 24/7 at temperatures of up to 46°C, without the need for frequent cool-down periods required for a piston compressor. Furthermore, it promises low oil-carryover of less than 5 ppm into the delivered air to protect tools and end-product quality.
The G2-7 compressor’s belt-driven, state-of-the-art, low-vibration screw element greatly reduces vibrations, reducing noise to as low as 61 dB(A), allowing installation close to the point of use with no additional sound insulation requirement or the need for siting in a separate compressor room.
Options include food-grade oil, RSXD oil, a DD filter, aftercooler, and a tropical thermostat. In addition, optional equipment can include an electronic water drain (EWD), a timer drain, and an anti-condensation kit.
