Water separator with lubricator

The Atlas Copco VAM 5A is a professional and robust water separator designed to improve the quality of compressed air in demanding industrial and construction environments. The unit effectively removes free water and moisture from compressed‑air systems using centrifugal force, ensuring a more stable, dry, and reliable air supply. This is essential for protecting pneumatic tools and machinery against wear, corrosion, icing, and operational disruptions. The VAM 5A handles air volumes of up to 120 l/s and can operate at pressures up to 8 bar, making it suitable for larger compressors and tools with high air consumption. The unit is also equipped with an automatic drain valve that opens at pressures below 0.2 bar and closes again above 0.5 bar. This prevents water buildup and ensures continuous, low‑maintenance operation. Its robust construction makes the VAM 5A particularly suitable for use on construction sites, in industrial installations, and in mining operations where equipment is subjected to high loads. With a water‑separation efficiency of up to 90% and a compact 0.15‑liter reservoir, the VAM 5A provides a reliable and effective solution for systems where air quality directly impacts tool lifespan and performance.

Typical Tasks

• Removing water and moisture from compressed‑air systems to ensure stable, clean air for pneumatic tools.
• Protecting air‑driven equipment from corrosion, icing, and wear under high air consumption.
• Operating alongside large compressors, where airflows of up to 120 l/s must be handled efficiently.
• Use on construction sites and in industrial environments, where water in the system can cause downtime or damage to tools.
• Extending system lifespan by continuously separating moisture and reducing the risk of operational disturbances.
• Automatic drainage of collected water, preventing manual emptying and protecting the system from water accumulation.

Use the GSV app

If you use our app, you can always get a complete overview of the equipment you have rented at GSV. You can search for locations and case numbers and mark your construction projects as favorites so you’ll always know the status of your equipment on your construction sites. You can find information on the individual machines, and if you need more equipment and machinery, you can easily and swiftly order it through the app. If you have finished using the equipment, you can just as easily and swiftly cancel it. 100 % overview on your cellphone – that’s nifty.

National service

We have departments all over the country which makes it easy for you to find a department close to you and your project, and at the same time it ensures that we don’t have to travel too far if we have to replace the machinery or equipment you have rented. That way
