Improved production uptime

Central controllers increase the lifetime of your machines and the uptime of your production. Their design allows quite some flexibility to assure the regulation meets your requirements.

1. Maximized reliability

As reliability is the base of smart controls, Optimizer 4.0 and Equalizer 4.0 PRO represent reliable controls as no other.

Central controllers reduce the load/unload and start/stop cycles as much as possible, resulting in a long-lasting and reliable machine.

The overall running hours of the compressors, blowers and dryers are reduced as much as possible. This eventually results in a lower maintenance cost and optimal Total Cost of Ownership.

The equalization of the running hours allows the machines to age together and share the load, while the service can be executed simultaneously.

When it comes to upscaling the reliability on the overall compressed air network, Atlas Copco central controllers can definitely make the difference.

The Optimizer 4.0 and Equalizer 4.0 PRO allow to configure Multiple Pressure bands, so the Air supply is tailored to meet the production requirements. This also has a positive impact on the Energy consumption!

Within Smart Controls there are different protections watching over the reliability of the overall Compressed Air Network.

2. Extended flexibility

Each production facility or process is different and has its own specifications. With the use of a central controller, you easily set the regulation according to your requirements and tailor it as much as possible to reach your goals.

Easily integrate or isolate existing compressors and blowers or add new machines to your compressed air network.

Switch with one click between different pressure bands or set specific timers to tailor the output according to your actual demand.

The Optimizer 4.0 comes with an embedded PLC function allowing you to program simplified logics via the onboard digital in- and output and analogue inputs.

The Optimizer 4.0 and Equalizer 4.0 PRO are capable of controlling non-Atlas Copco machines.
