Sustainable compressed air solutions for the construction industry
A powerful and reliable compressed air supply is essential in the construction industry.
Tough ambient conditions and demanding applications are the order of the day on constructions sites, making a robust and dependable compressed air supply indispensable.
Typical compressed air applications in the construction industry include:
- Geotechnical: Pre-construction of major structures typically start with geotechnical drilling to assess the strata. Compressed air is required to transport the cuttings to the surface in a process which is referred to as flushing. When a DTH (Down-The-Hole) drill is being used, compressed air will also often be required to operate the drill.
- Demolition and construction: Favoured for their power, durability and efficiency, pneumatic tools require a reliable source of compressed air for optimal performance. The dependability, efficiency, and in some cases quality, of the compressed air supply will further impact pneumatic tool productivity and service life.
- Concrete and structural work: Compressed air is pivotal in achieving good concrete compaction in shotcreting and concrete vibration. For optimum results, the compressed air supply must reliably meet the pressure and airflow required, delivering cool and condensate-free compressed air. Shotcreting additionally requires technically oil-free air.
- Surface preparation and cleaning: Many surface preparation and cleaning applications rely on compressed air, such as abrasive- and dry ice- blasting. For maximum productivity and equipment longevity, these specific applications require a constant supply of cool, condensate-free and technically oil-free compressed air that consistently meets the compressed air pressure and airflow requirements.
- Finishing work: Compressed air is often used for applications like surface painting, plastering shell walls, and installing blown-in insulation, where pneumatically powered equipment is favoured for its efficiency and speed in getting these finishing jobs done.
- Trenchless operations: Many trenchless technologies require compressed air in repairing, replacing and installing underground utilities. For optimum performance some applications will require air treatment. Pressure and flow are additionally critical factors impacting the efficiency, performance, and suitability of an air system for a specific application.
For the trouble-free operation of pneumatic hammers, earthmoving hammers, and sewer robots, HPC KAESER MOBILAIR compressors deliver economical and environmentally friendly compressed air – anytime, anywhere, directly on site.
Compact power for big challenges: The versatile MOBILAIR M13
The MOBILAIR M13 is the perfect companion for mobile compressed air applications on the construction site.
Powered by a reliable, air-cooled Honda four-stroke gasoline engine, the M13 impresses not only with its powerful performance but also with its pleasantly quiet operation. It supplies the necessary energy for pneumatic hammers, spades, grinders, and earthmoving hammers.
For the right compressed air quality, the compact all-rounder can be optionally equipped with a compressed air aftercooler.
Powerful, efficient, and easy to service: The MOBILAIR M44 and M59
Good can be so simple: The new MOBILAIR M44 is the solid model in the 4-cubic-metre class. Whether transport, operation, or maintenance, everything is easy thanks to the clear design.
The M44 is used to operate demolition hammers or pneumatic spades, to carry out cleaning work with low-pressure blasting, or to support numerous concrete applications.
The MOBILAIR M59 is equally versatile. The benchmark in the 5-cubic-metre class is ideal for cable blowing, dry ice blasting, or operating sewer robots.
Performance meets efficiency: The MOBILAIR M81 is powerful, flexible, and reliable
The new MOBILAIR M81 is the new all-rounder for major challenges. The standard PV control with adjustable maximum pressure between 6 and 14 bar, optional compressed air treatment, and/or generators up to 13 kVA adapt the powerful compressor perfectly to its tasks.
The M81 with Hatz engine can be found wherever efficiency and robustness are required: for sandblasting bridge construction sites, shotcrete applications, and dry ice blasting.
Emission-free and economical for every application: The MOBILAIR e-power
Wherever a power connection is available, the MOBILAIR e-power series of portable compressors demonstrates their strengths. Their whisper-quiet electric drive is the ticket to environmental or noise protection zones.
Their emission-free drive makes them particularly well-suited for applications in buildings or tunnels, as well as for interim solutions during the conversion, expansion, or maintenance of stationary compressed air systems.
The classics in construction: The piston compressors "Made in Germany"
Tireless suppliers of compressed air for nailers, chipping hammers, blasting and cleaning work, and many other applications. HPC KAESER piston compressors are the first choice on construction sites when it comes to reliable, economical compressed air generation.
Thanks to special production processes, they are extremely durable, economical, and low-maintenance.
