What Atmos Chrást s.r.o. does

Atmos Chrást s.r.o. is a Czech Republic-based manufacturer of industrial screw compressors and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) energy systems, headquartered in Chrast u Plzně. The company produces three primary compressor categories — portable/mobile compressors for the construction industry, stationary industrial compressors for manufacturing and process industries, and smaller workshop compressors — under product lines including PERFECT, ALBERT, SEC, and SMARTRONIC (with newer models such as the oil-free PE30E introduced in 2024). Its core technology centers on rotary screw compressors and an in-house CNC machining capability that produces proprietary screw rotors. Beyond compressors, the company has developed the ATMOS ORC system and a novel screw motor that operates on the Organic Rankine Cycle to convert industrial waste heat or low-calorific heat sources (solar, geothermal) into mechanical power up to 1.5 MW, positioned as a simpler, lower-cost, vibration-free alternative to conventional blade turbines.

The company operates as a privately held Czech s.r.o. (limited liability company) with no public listing and no disclosed external institutional investors. Revenue mechanics are anchored in direct B2B sales with contractually negotiated pricing, Ex Works delivery from Chrast, separate invoicing for spare parts, installation, commissioning, and service work, and a recurring authorized service network for warranty support. Distribution is primarily direct to enterprise and mid-market industrial buyers, supplemented by participation in major European trade fairs (notably Bauma Munich 2022 and 2025) to build export channels. The company operates a wholly-owned R&D subsidiary, ATMOS vývoj s.r.o., which has received EU grant funding (approximately €125,235 for screw motor research) and pursues cross-border R&D with OTH Amberg-Weiden and the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen.

Core offering

Atmos Chrást s.r.o. manufactures and sells rotary screw compressors (portable/mobile, industrial, and workshop variants) and ATMOS ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) energy systems that convert industrial waste heat or low-calorific heat sources into mechanical or electrical power up to 1.5 MW. The company also provides spare parts, installation, commissioning, and authorized service for its compressor equipment.

Product overview

Atmos Chrást s.r.o. is a manufacturer of industrial compressors and energy systems. The product portfolio consists of three main compressor categories: portable/mobile compressors for the construction industry (available in European and non-European market versions), industrial compressors for manufacturing operations, and workshop compressors for small-scale operations. The company also produces ATMOS ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) systems that convert waste heat into mechanical or electrical energy using screw motor technology instead of traditional blade turbines. Individual compressor models include PERFECT, ALBERT, SEC, and SMARTRONIC series, including the oil-free PE30E model.
