About Us

Zahroof Valves Inc. (ZVI) was established in 2010 as a groundbreaking innovator in the global compressor valve market. ZVI develops, manufactures, and sells reciprocating compressor valves, unloaders, and associated products.

ZVI developed its original and unique StraightFlo™ compressor valve using its patented Modular Reed Valve (MRV) technology. The StraightFlo™ compressor valve provides superior performance and reliability, exceptional cost savings, and lower emissions than conventional reciprocating gas compressor valves.

Zahroof products are used in various applications, including oil & gas (upstream, midstream and downstream), chemical processing, industrial gases, air, refrigeration, and more.

Atlas Copco Group enables technology that transforms the future. We innovate to develop products, services and solutions that are key to our customers’ success. Our four business areas offer compressed air and vacuum solutions, energy solutions, dewatering and industrial pumps, industrial power tools and assembly and machine vision solutions.  For more information, visit www.atlascopcogroup.com.

our products

All StraightFlo™ compressor valves utilize patented Modular Reed Technology (MRT™). MRT™ employed in Atlas Copco’ products contributes to enhanced compressor efficiency, improved performance, and reduced operating costs for reciprocating compressors across various industries.

StraightFlo™ SS (Severe Service) Valves

Atlas Copco Straightflo SS Valves are made from durable stainless steel and are designed to handle corrosive gases in industries like refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, and fertilizers. They are compatible with reciprocating compressors operating at speeds ranging from 200 to 3600+ rpm, pressure differentials up to 4,350 psi (300 bar), and service temperatures from -40° to 500°F (-40° to 260°C). These valves can be easily installed as drop-in replacements for OEM valves, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging environments.

The StraightFlo™ SE Valve

Atlas Copco StraightFlo SE Valve is an economical compressor valve made with 4140 alloy steel and a corrosion-resistant coating. It offers exceptional performance and value as a drop-in replacement for reciprocating compressors. Ideal for oil and gas applications and industrial gas services like air, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Suitable for compressor speeds from 200 to 3600+ rpm, pressure differentials up to 4,350 psi (300 bar), and service temperatures from -40° to 500°F (-40° to 260°C). It is designed for use with non-corrosive or mildly corrosive gases, including sweet and sour natural gas, air, NGL, and industrial gases.

Jack Bolt Eliminator

The new Atlas Copco Jack Bolt Eliminator is an advanced kit that can transform valves into a modern cage and O-ring design, providing a gas-tight sealing surface. The conversion process takes only about 15 minutes per valve and requires no machining or cylinder modification. Once installed, the conversion ring remains in place during valve servicing. Unlike the traditional jack bolt design, the Jack Bolt Eliminator Kit allows for gasket crushing without affecting the seal between the valve cap and cylinder, making installation and maintenance easier.
