Atlas Copco has extended its low-pressure blower offering with the introduction of the ZL2 lobe blower<\/a><\/strong> 11 to 45kW range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in a variety of standard or custom configurable models, and with the choice of fixed-speed or VSD power versions, the ZL2 blowers now provide the option of pure mechanical basic units employing dial gauges for pressure reading, or high-end solutions with integrated VSD inverter and intelligent Elektronikon control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new units are available in seven power ratings \u2013 11, 15, 18, 22, 30, 37 and 42kW \u2013 with corresponding capacities from 805 to 1375m3\/hr relevant to working pressures from 300 to 1000 mbar(g).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the proven positive displacement principle, the new ZL2 blower design features a traditional tri-lobe element, with specially selected strong bearing and gear set, to provide a reliable and cost-effective answer for low-pressure applications within demanding environments, such as pneumatic conveying, waste water treatment and the chemical industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plug-and-play units can be installed wherever they are needed, close to the application technology or sited outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blowers can operate with limited need for supervision, and function at high ambient temperatures or high altitudes without issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced ventilation keeps the internal temperature of the canopy close to ambient temperature. Installed sensors constantly monitor pressure and temperature, and the safety and start-up function is integrated into a PVO valve. This ensures that pressure is always under control and that each start is smooth, contributing to trouble-free operation during the lifetime of the blower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of further benefit, the maintenance-free, automatic belt-tensioning feature, based on motor weight, eliminates belt creeping and keeps transmission efficiency at a high level for the whole lifetime of the drive belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User-friendly operation and feedback on the fixed-speed ZL2 units\u2019 performance is provided by front-panel mechanical gauges, which indicate discharge pressure and inlet filter condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ZL2 VSD unit features an integrated VSD controller and an Elektronikon Mk5 panel to provide constant monitoring of blower health with feedback to the operator\u2019s process control systems; a feature that enables connectivity to blower room management modules and Ethernet remote monitoring systems such as Atlas Copco\u2019s SMARTLINK service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenting on the ZL2 blowers\u2019 introduction, Rob Boughton, Low Pressure Business Development Manager at Atlas Copco said: \u201cWe set out to provide a new generation of blowers based on a simple, proven design \u2013 one that could deliver maximum process uptime at low capital costs and require the minimum of maintenance and supervision.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
