Industries & applications

When it comes to your business processes, you can’t compromise on quality. Atlas Copco understands this: for decades we have led the industry in oil-free compressed air technology. Now, as the first manufacturer to receive ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) certification, we strengther our commitment to pure oil-free air.

Customer story, L'Oreal:

One Atlas Copco customer is the L'Oreal factory in Suzhou, China. It uses compressed air for pneumatic devices and dry process after sterilization. Air quality is paramount in the manufacture of high-quality makeup products. Even the slightest traces of oil can result in altered or polluted product batches and the risk of health hazards for consumers. For this reason L'Oreal chose Z series CLASS 0 compressors at the start of production in 1999.

According to Mr. Huang, ETNSE Manager at L'Oreal Suzhou, “We chose Atlas Copco because the CLASS 0 Z range matched our high manufacturing standards and contributed to our ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18000 certifications. As an additional benefit, we have managed to reduce the energy consumption of the compressor room by 20%.” The plant received the EFE (Environment Friendly Enterprise) Award, which is the highest award regarding environmental protection from Jiangsu Province, in 2008.
