Mining Air Solutions

Heavy-duty diesel compressors built for mining operations. DTH drilling, underground work, and surface extraction all require reliable high-pressure air.

25-40 Bar Range

Air Power for Hard Rock

Mining operations depend on compressed air more than most industries. From the drilling rigs that break rock to the pneumatic tools that maintain equipment, air compressors are running constantly. When they stop, production stops.

We've supplied compressors to mines across Asia, Africa, and South America. Our heavy-duty diesel units are built for this work—high altitude, extreme temperatures, and round-the-clock operation.

Mining Requirements

Working pressure: 25-40 Bar
Power source: Diesel (remote sites)
Environment: Dusty, extreme temps
Altitude: Up to 4500m
Operation: 24/7 continuous
Service: Minimal downtime

Applications

Mining Uses

DTH Drilling

Down-the-hole hammers need 25-35 Bar at high volume. Pressure drops mean slower penetration and more fuel consumed. Our two-stage compressors maintain stable pressure even at altitude.

Blast Hole Drilling

Surface mining rigs require consistent air supply for long shifts. Fuel efficiency matters when you're running multiple units. Our units deliver more CFM per liter of diesel than competitors.

Underground Operations

Ventilation, pneumatic loading, and rock bolting all need reliable air. Underground units must handle confined spaces and limited ventilation. We offer compact high-pressure models for these conditions.

Gold Mine - Inner Mongolia

This open-pit gold mine operates at 1,800m altitude with winter temperatures reaching -30°C. Their existing compressors were struggling with cold starts and had frequent breakdowns during the critical drilling season.

We supplied 6 units of our SL-900/35 model with cold weather packages including block heaters, arctic-grade lubricants, and insulated enclosures. Our service team provided operator training and established a spare parts inventory on site.
