Atlas Copco Group has completed the acquisition of Zahroof Valves Inc. (Zahroof), based in Houston, Texas. Zahroof specializes in the design, servicing, and assembly of reciprocating compression valve technology.
Established in 2010, Zahroof offers compressor valves utilizing modular reed valve technology. The flagship StraightFlo valve, serving as a drop-in replacement for compressor valves, features replaceable reed valve modules to ensure a streamlined gas flow path. Its innovative design incorporates standard and interchangeable modules held stationary between the valve seat and carrier.
Zahroof provides eight standard modules in three materials, sharing identical external dimensions, to accommodate the diverse speed range and operating conditions of existing industrial compressors. Modules are selected based on the operating conditions of the cylinder, ensuring interchangeability across valves of various sizes and types, whether suction or discharge.
Joining the Compressor Technique Business Area under Atlas Copco Compressors LLC, Zahroof becomes part of a comprehensive portfolio encompassing industrial compressors, gas and process compressors and expanders, air and gas treatment equipment, and air management systems. This acquisition represents the fifth addition to the Compressor Technique Business Area in just three months, underscoring Atlas Copco’s commitment to expanding its presence and offerings in the industrial compressor market.
