If your business runs on compressed air — whether that's manufacturing, textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, or heavy industry — you already know that downtime isn't just inconvenient, it's expensive. That's where NB Mercantile comes in. As a certified supplier of Atlas Copco Industrial Compressors, they've built a reputation across Rajasthan's key industrial belts — Udaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, and Bhilwara — for delivering reliable, energy-efficient air and vacuum solutions backed by real technical support.

Oil-Injected Screw Compressors — Built for Heavy-Duty Work

For industries that need continuous, dependable output, NB Mercantile supplies a full range of oil-injected compressors. The Automan oil-lubricated piston compressor suits smaller operations, while the GA gear-driven screw compressor delivers serious power for larger industrial setups. The G/Gx belt-driven screw compressor offers a compact, efficient middle-ground option, and the GA VSD+ series takes things further with Variable Speed Drive technology that adjusts output to actual demand — meaning you're not paying for air you don't need. These compressors are engineered for smooth, energy-efficient operation, low maintenance, and long service life, which translates directly into reduced operating costs over time.

Oil-Free Compressors — Where Air Purity Matters

Not every industry can afford even trace contamination in its compressed air. For pharmaceuticals, food processing, and electronics manufacturing, NB Mercantile offers Atlas Copco's oil-free lineup: the SF and SF+ scroll compressors, known for running quietly and efficiently; the AQ water-injected screw compressors, which use water instead of oil for cooling and lubrication at higher capacities; and the ZR/ZT rotary tooth and screw compressors, which combine VSD flexibility with 100% oil-free output. These solutions help businesses meet strict safety and quality standards without compromising on performance.

Vacuum Solutions for Specialized Applications

Beyond compressors, NB Mercantile is recognized as a reliable supplier of vacuum technology, including rotary vane vacuum pumps — ideal for laboratories, chemical processing, and freeze-drying applications — as well as dry screw vacuum pumps, side channel blowers, and liquid ring vacuum systems for tougher industrial environments like food processing and petrochemicals. Whatever the vacuum requirement, there's a fit within this range.

Supporting Infrastructure: Dryers, Filters, and Generators

A compressor is only as good as the system around it. NB Mercantile rounds out its offering with nitrogen gas generators (NGM, NGP, and NGP+ series) for on-site nitrogen production, desiccant and refrigerated air dryers to protect downstream equipment, and a comprehensive range of air filters — including oil coalescing filters, dry dust filters, and activated carbon towers — that keep compressed air clean and systems running efficiently. Add to that 100% oil-free ZS and ZL blowers, and you have a complete ecosystem for compressed air management.

Local Presence, Real Support

What sets NB Mercantile apart isn't just the product range — it's the on-the-ground support. As a trusted Screw Compressor Supplier in Kota and Jodhpur, and a go-to name for Atlas Copco Compressor service in Udaipur and Bhilwara, the company has built its supply chain specifically to serve Rajasthan's industrial hubs directly. That means faster response times, easier access to genuine replacement parts, and technical teams who understand the specific demands of local industries — from textile mills and engineering workshops to cement plants and manufacturing units.

NB Mercantile doesn't just sell equipment and walk away. Their team assists with product selection based on your actual operational needs, handles installation, and stays engaged with after-sales service — so if something needs attention down the line, help isn't far away.

Why It Matters

Compressed air systems are often the unseen backbone of industrial operations, and choosing the wrong supplier — or the wrong equipment — can mean higher energy bills, more frequent breakdowns, and costly downtime. By partnering with an established name like NB Mercantile for Atlas Copco equipment, businesses across Udaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, and Bhilwara get more than a product — they get a long-term technical partner invested in keeping operations running smoothly.

Atlas Copco and Universal Quantum Build Utility-Scale Quantum Computing's 'Vacuum Backbone'

Universal Quantum, Atlas Copco

Universal Quantum Ltd. and Atlas Copco Group signed an MoU to develop integrated hoover system solutions. This partnership will handle translating lab-based quantum computers into industrial-grade equipment, a major engineering hurdle. The alliance combines Atlas Copco's vacuum and cryogenic expertise with Universal Quantum's modular trapped-ion architecture to provide the groundwork for utility-scale quantum devices.

Strategic Alliance for Scalable Quantum Infrastructure The partnership focusses on vacuum platforms for Universal Quantum's silicon-based, modular trapped-ion architecture. This alliance supports utility-scale computers with thousands of qubits, unlike standard quantum research setups that use custom lab equipment. The MoU aligns both organisations' technical roadmaps to ensure Universal Quantum's computers are scalable, serviceable, and stable.

Atlas Copco will leverage its Scientific Vacuum Division, which includes Edwards, Leybold, Gamma, and Montana Instruments, to provide industrial knowledge. This combination competence in cryogenics, ultra-clean environments, and semiconductor-grade manufacturing may be needed to move from research to production.

Transitioning from Extreme to Acute High Vacuum

The partnership's technical goal is to move from Extreme High Vacuum (XHV) to Acute High Vacuum (AHV) conditions. Qubits are sensitive to their environment, hence trapped-ion quantum computing requires a vacuum.

A single background gas molecule collision can break a quantum calculation. Therefore, the system needs long-term stability and near-total isolation. The switch to AHV allows high-fidelity operations and fast ion movement across extended industrial lifespans. By developing a technical route to AHV, the partners want to maintain the vacuum environment as a reliable “backbone” as qubits and modules increase.

Scale Architecture: Modular Chips and Shared Environments

Universal Quantum architecture handles modularity differently. Their architecture uses many silicon ion trap chips in a continuous vacuum. These chips have ion transport, memory, and logic regions.

These modules communicate using Universal Quantum's UQ Connect electronic connector. This method allows high-fidelity ion transport across semiconductors. The engineering of the vacuum space, shared by all modules, is the key to preventing collisions and synchronising thousands of qubits.

Creating a European Supply Chain

The alliance affects geopolitics and economics beyond technical details. Supplying quantum vacuum system equipment in the UK and Europe is a priority. This initiative intends to boost sovereign competence in next-generation quantum technologies by localising the infrastructure for these powerful machines.

Localised supply chains enable short-term prototyping and long-term production in the collaboration. This move unites quantum computing into a utility-scale industry from lab experiments.

Industrialising Quantum Environment: Expertise and Vision

Dr Michael Newman, VP of Engineering at Universal Quantum, says utility-scale computing demands precision engineering from ion trap chip to vacuum system. He claims that the partnership quickly integrates “world-class industrial capability” into their scalable design, enabling fully manufacturable solutions.

Atlas Copco executives agreed, saying that cryogenic and vacuum technologies are now essential to production systems rather than lab devices. By working with Universal Quantum, Atlas Copco can industrialise quantum computer spaces.
