ZD technology maximizing your efficiency
Instrument air
The first two stages are based around screw compression technology which is the most commonly used technology for up to 10 bars because it is energy efficient, cost effective and low in maintenance. This leads to 10% extra efficiency during operation.
The Z(D) is equipped with a dryer at booster inlet to eliminate condensate.
Precise pressure control allows a tighter pressure band and a lower average working pressure, resulting in reduced energy consumption.
Medium/low pressure air receiver
Compressed air demand typically fluctuates, during day and night, even minute to minute, second to second. Those fluctuations can cause switching losses in compressors. A properly sized compressed air receiver will deal with these short term fluctuations and will avoid potentially nervous switching of compressors. Thus it will contribute to the efficiency of your compressed air installation.
Medium pressure network
Piping is an essential part of your compressed air system, in order to make sure your compressed air is properly distributed, we recommend a ring network for an optimal performance and efficiency.
High pressure compressor/booster
Compared to traditional piston technology, our high pressure booster saves energy and increases the life-time of moving parts (rings, packings, valves).
(Z)D boosters are also available in Variable Speed Drive versions, allowing for on average 35% energy savings due to:
Unload losses are reduced to a minimum.
Load/no load transition losses are eliminated.
Precise pressure control allows a tighter pressure band and a lower average working pressure, resulting in reduced energy consumption.

High pressure network
High pressure piping is extremely expensive; keep it as short as possible by mounting our (Z)D booster right next to the user you don’t only eliminate costs but also pressure drops.
Optimum Compression technology
4 stage compression: best of thermodynamics
Four-stage compression with intercooling saves up to 10% energy when compressing air between 25 to 45 bar. It also lowers the operating cost (OPEX) significantly, despite the higher capital cost (CAPEX). Our ZD hybrid 4 stage solution is the best value for the PET industry.
Variable Speed Drive technology
Up to 35% additional savings
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressors are a type of air compressor that can adjust the speed of the motor according to the air demand. This results in lower energy consumption, lower pressure fluctuations, and higher efficiency compared to fixed speed machines. VSD compressors are especially suitable for the PET industry, where different bottle sizes require different volumes of air.
Heat recovery for sustainable energy management
Use your energy twice
Heat recovery forms part of a sustainable energy management strategy. With the adaptation of a heat recovery control unit, the energy recovered in the cooling water of your water cooled compressors can be used for several uses: boilers, warming of premises, showers, cleaning processes. This saves a lot of energy.
Constant dry air at extreme low power consumption
Save time and money
Thanks to their pioneering technology, our dryers ensure the lowest pressure drop and lowest energy consumption for the highest possible efficiency saving you time and money throughout the production process. The uniqueness of the rotary drum dryers lies in the fact that the loss of compressed air is completely avoided. Due to the usage of the generated heat from the compression process, a minimal amount of power is required to achieve very low dewpoints.
