Description
The Atlas Copco ZT 110 is the 110 kW air-cooled machine of the ZR/ZT 110-275 oil-free family, a fixed-speed compressor that brings certified oil-free air to plants without a cooling water circuit. The compression chambers run completely free of oil, the package carries the ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) certification verified by TÜV, and the Full Feature build integrates the adsorption dryer inside the same package.
Three pressure versions at 50 Hz and two at 60 Hz cover free air delivery from 266.9 to 317.7 l/s. Cooling is by air alone, so the compressor installs wherever the production needs it.
Where the ZT 110 Sits in the Oil-Free Range
The ZR/ZT 110-275 family serves the plants whose oil-free demand has outgrown the compact 55-90 class but has not yet reached the ZR/ZT 300-750 machines, and the ZT 110 carries 110 kW of installed motor power at the entry of the family. The letter Z marks the oil-free architecture: the compression elements never inject oil into the air stream, so no oil carry-over reaches the process. Where the demand profile swings, the ZT 110 VSD of the same rating adjusts its speed continuously instead of loading and unloading.
Atlas Copco pioneered oil-free air technology over sixty years and became the first manufacturer awarded CLASS 0 certification. The ZT 110 brings that standard into the air-cooled 110 kW class, and the package arrives as a complete all-in-one installation: place it on a flat floor, connect the power line and the air outlet, and push the start button. Lighter oil-free networks in the same family run the ZT 90.
Two Branches, One Platform
Two names describe the branches of the ZT 110, and each adds one fact:
- Standard — the compressor package delivers oil-free air for networks with external air treatment downstream, with the air-cooled design rejecting the heat of compression into the room air.
- Full Feature — the package integrates the adsorption dryer, so dry air leaves the machine directly with no external energy spent on regeneration.
Every version combines with both branches, and both branches share the same 4,040 mm footprint. Plants with a cooling water main on site pick the water-cooled ZR 110 of the same rating.
Technical Specifications of the ZT 110
The table below condenses the ZT 110 into its headline figures:

| Air purity | ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010), TÜV certified |
| Frequency | 50 Hz and 60 Hz |
Rated Data at 50 Hz
Unit performance is measured according to ISO 1217, annex C, edition 4 (2009). The 7.5 and 8.6 bar versions are measured at 7 bar and the 10 bar version at 9 bar:
| Version | FAD (l/s) | FAD (m³/min) | FAD (cfm) | Noise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZT 110 – 7.5 | 306.9 | 18.4 | 650 | 71 dB(A) |
| ZT 110 – 8.6 | 286.2 | 17.2 | 606 | 71 dB(A) |
| ZT 110 – 10 | 266.9 | 16.0 | 566 | 71 dB(A) |
The 7.5 bar version leads the series at 306.9 l/s (650 cfm), and the 10 bar band delivers 266.9 l/s (566 cfm). The installed motor power stays at 110 kW across all versions, and the sound pressure level holds at 71 dB(A) at the work station.
Rated Data at 60 Hz
The 60 Hz range covers two versions at 8.6 and 10.4 bar(e), and the motor is rated at 150 hp. The measurement pressures follow the same rule as at 50 Hz:
| Version | FAD (l/s) | FAD (m³/min) | FAD (cfm) | Noise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZT 110 – 8.6 | 317.7 | 19.1 | 673 | 71 dB(A) |
| ZT 110 – 10.4 | 288.6 | 17.3 | 612 | 71 dB(A) |
The 8.6 bar version tops the whole series at 317.7 l/s (673 cfm). The noise level is the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the work station, measured according to ISO 2151: 2004 using ISO 9614/2, with a total uncertainty value of 3 dB(A).
Dimensions and Weight
Both branches of the ZT 110 share one footprint, because the air-cooled layout carries the dryer inside the same frame length:
| Branch | Weight | Dimensions (L × W × H) |
|---|---|---|
| ZT 110, Standard | 3,560 kg / 7,848 lb | 4,040 × 1,650 × 2,000 mm (159.1 × 65.0 × 78.7 in) |
| ZT 110, Full Feature | 4,070 kg / 8,973 lb | 4,040 × 1,650 × 2,000 mm (159.1 × 65.0 × 78.7 in) |
No foundations are required for either branch. The package installs directly on the flat floor of the compressor room, and the air-cooled layout removes the cooling water main, the water treatment and the condensation handling from the installation plan.
Class 0 Air Purity, Verified by TÜV
The ZT 110 belongs to the oil-free range certified according to ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010). TÜV type-tested the range with the most rigorous methodologies available, measuring all possible oil forms across a range of temperatures and pressures, and found no traces of oil at all in the output air stream. CLASS 0 is the most stringent class of the standard: the total oil concentration is as specified by the equipment user or supplier and more stringent than class 1.
That certification is what makes the ZT 110 the default choice where a single trace of oil costs a batch: food and beverage lines running fermentation, packaging and filling, electronics plants cleaning chips and boards, petrochemical operations in extreme heat and humidity, and pharmaceutical production from tablet coating to bottling.
Air Cooling for Simple Installation
Air cooling defines the ZT branch of the family. The cooling circuit rejects the heat of compression into the room air, which keeps the package free of any water dependency and holds the installation simple. The sound pressure level reads 71 dB(A), two decibels above the water-cooled ZR sibling of the same rating.
Because the heat leaves through the cooling air stream, ducting options can route the warm air out of the machine room or recover it for space heating in the cold season, which turns part of the compression energy back into a site resource.
Full Feature: The Integrated Adsorption Dryer
In the ZT 110 Full Feature, the adsorption dryer eliminates the moisture before it enters the air net. The dryer regenerates with the heat of the compressor, so no external energy is needed to dry the air, and the savings against a conventional dryer are large. The pressure drop through the dryer is minimal, which cuts the operating cost again, and the whole drying function lives inside the compressor package instead of beside it.
Control and Monitoring
The Elektronikon unit controller runs the compressor and the integrated dryer from one control system. The display shows the running conditions with clear icons and intuitive navigation, monitors the maintenance status, and raises pro-active service indications, alarms for malfunctions and safety shutdowns. Built-in remote control and notification functions come as standard with ethernet-based communication.
SMARTLINK and Options
The option list of the ZT 110 tailors the package to the plant:
- SMARTLINK — online data monitoring of the compressed air system with warning indications and maintenance scheduling.
- Long duration particles filter and other air quality options — for specified coating materials and demanding purity targets.
- Wooden case packaging, material certificates, test certificate and witnessed performance test — for controlled installation and documented acceptance.
Every ZT 110 is shop-tested before it leaves the factory, and the witnessed performance test option documents the measured flow and pressure against the specification for the acceptance record of the project. Combined with the material certificates and the wooden case packaging, the package arrives ready for a controlled installation from the first day.
Applications of the ZT 110
Food and beverage plants run the ZT 110 for fermentation, aeration, transportation, filling and capping, where the CLASS 0 certification removes the contamination risk from the audit trail. Electronics manufacturers use the clean, dry air for removing microscopic debris from chip and board surfaces, and petrochemical sites value the machine’s ability to run in extreme temperatures and humidity conditions around the clock.
Pharmaceutical production completes the picture, from fermentation and tablet coating to packing and bottling, where 100 percent oil-free air protects both the process and the brand. Where the demand profile fluctuates heavily, the plant adds the ZT 110 VSD of the same rating next to this fixed-speed machine, and growing networks step up to the larger models of the same family.
Service and Support Around the ZT 110

FAQ
What does the ZT 110 deliver at 7.5 bar?
The 7.5 bar version delivers 306.9 l/s at 50 Hz, which equals 18.4 m³/min or 650 cfm, measured at 7 bar according to ISO 1217 annex C, edition 4 (2009). At 60 Hz the 8.6 bar version reads 317.7 l/s (673 cfm).
Is the ZT 110 air-cooled?
Yes. The ZT letter marks the air-cooled branch of the ZR/ZT family: the cooling circuit rejects the heat of compression into the room air, so no cooling water main is needed. The sound level reads 71 dB(A), and the water-cooled equivalent is the ZR 110.
How oil-free is the air?
The ZT 110 carries the ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2010) certification verified by TÜV, the most stringent class of the standard. TÜV testing found no traces of oil at all in the output air stream across the tested range.
What does the Full Feature build add?
Full Feature integrates the adsorption dryer inside the compressor package. The dryer regenerates with the heat of the compressor, so no external energy is needed, and the package weight grows from 3,560 kg to 4,070 kg while the footprint stays at 4,040 × 1,650 × 2,000 mm.
Why does the 60 Hz range only list two versions?
The official specification table for 60 Hz covers the 8.6 and 10.4 bar(e) versions, which match the pressure bands most common on 60 Hz networks. At 50 Hz the series spans three versions from 7.5 to 10 bar(e).
How loud is the ZT 110?
The sound pressure level at the work station reads 71 dB(A) on every version at both frequencies. The value follows ISO 2151: 2004 with the ISO 9614/2 method and carries a total uncertainty value of 3 dB(A).
Colm Gallagher –
We needed more oil-free capacity and had no cooling water circuit, so the ZT 110 was the straightforward answer. The package holds 71 dB(A) beside the line, the pressure stays flat at 7.5 bar across two shifts, and the Full Feature dryer delivers dry air straight from the machine. Seadweer matched the model and our pressure to the right version in one reply.
