Atlas Copco ZR315VSD Oil-Free Turbo Compressor 315kW

The Atlas Copco ZR315VSD is a 315 kW water-cooled, oil-free rotary screw compressor designed for the most demanding large-scale industrial applications where both air purity and energy efficiency at high capacity are simultaneously required. Carrying full ISO 8573-1 Class 0 oil-free certification, the ZR315VSD delivers FAD from 285 to 560 l/s at 4 to 10 bar(e) — positioning it as the backbone compressor for large pharmaceutical campuses, major food-processing complexes, and critical process utilities at petrochemical plants where oil-free air of this volume eliminates the risk of large-scale product contamination events.

The ZR series uses a water-cooled design with Atlas Copco's two-stage oil-free screw elements and an integrated intercooler and aftercooler circuit to achieve inter-stage cooling without oil contact — maintaining air purity throughout. The variable speed drive on the ZR315VSD covers a wide capacity range, and the advanced Elektronikon® Graphic controller delivers plant-level integration capability, logging 1000 data points per second and supporting connection to SAP PM, Honeywell DCS, ABB 800xA, and other enterprise asset management systems common in Saudi Arabian process industries. Remote monitoring via SmartLink provides Atlas Copco and Razz Middle East engineers with real-time machine health data.

In Saudi Arabia, the ZR315VSD is the reference compressor for large pharmaceutical manufacturers and contract manufacturers preparing for export market GMP certification, including FDA 21 CFR Part 211 and EU Annex 1 compliance documentation. SABIC's specialty chemicals plants in Jubail utilise ZR series compressors in processes where any oil ingress would compromise catalyst systems or product purity. The ZR315VSD is also increasingly specified in NEOM's Health and Research Campus projects and Saudi Vision 2030 hospital construction programmes, where large centralised Class 0 oil-free compressed air plants serve multiple buildings simultaneously.

Razz Middle East provides full project engineering services for ZR315VSD installations, including compressed air demand audits, system design, pipework specification, commissioning, and ongoing Atlas Copco-certified maintenance contracts in the Kingdom.
