Strategically positioned between the GX Series and the GA Series, the G Series compressors offer an ideal intermediate solution for workshops, small and medium-sized industries that need a reliable compressed air supply without compromising quality or efficiency.

Key Technical Features

The Atlas Copco G Series features a state-of-the-art screw element that ensures compressed air production with excellent specific efficiency. These compressors are available in power ratings typically ranging from 7.5 kW to 30 kW, with working pressures usually varying between 7.5 bar and 13 bar, adapting to the specific needs of each industrial application.

Among its most relevant technical characteristics:

• Compact, integrated design that minimizes the space required for installation
• Reduced noise level (approximately 65-75 dB(A)), allowing installation near the point of use
• Intelligent electronic control system that optimizes performance and monitors critical parameters
• Efficient cooling through high-capacity fans dimensioned for demanding industrial environments
• High-quality intake air filtration that protects the compressor element and extends its service life

Operational Advantages of G Series Compressors

Atlas Copco G Series screw compressors offer numerous advantages that make them a preferred choice for many industrial applications:

• Superior energy efficiency: Thanks to their advanced screw element and control system, they achieve a significant reduction in electrical consumption compared to conventional compressors.
• Exceptional reliability: Designed to operate continuously in demanding industrial conditions, with extended maintenance intervals.
• Reduced operating costs: The combination of high energy efficiency and low maintenance requirements translates into a very competitive total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Improved air quality: They incorporate high-efficiency oil separation systems that ensure minimal residual oil content in the compressed air.

Main Applications

The versatility of Atlas Copco G Series screw compressors makes them suitable for numerous industrial applications, including:

• Mechanical and automotive workshops
• Small and medium manufacturing industries
• Woodworking and carpentry shops
• Textile industry
• Laboratories and research centers
• Painting and finishing facilities
• Instrumentation and control applications

Maintenance and Technical Service

A fundamental aspect of G Series air compressors is their design oriented to facilitate maintenance. All components requiring periodic inspection or maintenance are easily accessible, significantly reducing intervention times.

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use original Atlas Copco oils and oil filters, as well as perform periodic reviews according to the maintenance plan recommended by the manufacturer.

Available Variants and Options

The Atlas Copco G Series offers various configurations to adapt to the specific needs of each installation:

• Base-mounted version: For installations where an independent air treatment system is available.
• Version with integrated dryer: Incorporates a refrigeration dryer that significantly reduces the dew point of compressed air, eliminating condensation problems.
• Tank-mounted version: Mounted on an air receiver that acts as a buffer and pressure stabilizer, ideal for installations with variable consumption.
• Full Feature version: The most complete solution, integrating compressor, dryer, and filtration in a single compact unit.

Considerations for Selecting the Right Model

To correctly choose a G Series compressor, it's important to consider several factors:

• Air demand: Calculate the maximum air consumption (in CFM or m³/h) of all equipment and tools that will operate simultaneously, adding a 30% margin for future expansions.
• Required pressure: Determine the maximum pressure needed for the most demanding application in the installation.
• Duty cycle: Evaluate whether the compressor will work continuously or intermittently, which will influence the model choice.
• Air quality: Define air quality requirements (dew point, oil content, particle filtration) to select the necessary configuration and additional equipment.
