Small size, big power: innovative solutions for industrial air compressors
Industry pain points and solutions
Traditional industrial air compressors generally have problems such as bulky size, high energy consumption, and complex maintenance. Especially in space-constrained scenarios such as mines and construction sites, the difficulty of equipment deployment directly affects construction efficiency. Taking a lead-zinc mine project in Yunnan as an example, when Drilling Rigs are operating in narrow tunnels, the large size of the Air Compressor increases the transportation time by 30%, and the daily footage loss reaches 5 meters.
In an open-pit coal mine project in Inner Mongolia, the size of this equipment is 45% smaller than that of traditional models, and the fuel consumption is reduced to 2.1L/h (national standard 3.5L/h). With the Drilling Rig operation, the single-shift footage is 18 meters, which is 20% higher than the industry average.
Equipment performance and technological breakthroughs
The core equipment of this solution has three innovative advantages:
Golden power combination: 12kW diesel engine matched with screw compressor, exhaust volume 3.8m³/min, pressure 10bar, to meet the high air pressure requirements of drilling and splitting machines.
Intelligent energy-saving system: built-in ECU controller, automatically adjusts the speed according to the load, and reduces fuel consumption to 0.8L/h when idling, which saves 35% energy compared with traditional models.
Rapid deployment design: integrated folding handle and roller system, one person can push the equipment into the working surface, adapting to the flexible construction needs of converted drilling rigs (Excavator Converted Drilling Rigs).
The equipment uses a full copper wire winding motor with an insulation grade of F, and can operate stably in an environment of -20℃ to 50℃. In a test at a granite mine in Fujian, it worked continuously for 72 hours without any failure, and the air pressure fluctuation was controlled within ±0.2bar.
Practical application and benefit improvement
In a tunnel project in Zhejiang, this solution was used to replace the traditional air compressor:
Equipment transportation time was shortened from 2 hours to 15 minutes
Drilling rig single-day operation time was extended by 4 hours
Fuel cost was reduced by 1,800 yuan/month
Equipment features:
Laser cutting integrated gas tank to eliminate the risk of weld leakage
Three-stage filtration system to ensure that the cleanliness of compressed air meets ISO 8573-1 standard
Remote monitoring module, real-time transmission of pressure, fuel consumption and other data
Construction tips:
When the altitude exceeds 2,000 meters, the diesel engine fuel supply needs to be increased by 5%
Replace the air filter every 500 hours, and the desert environment needs to be shortened to 300 hours
This solution has been verified in 15 industrial scenarios, with an average improvement of 32% in construction efficiency and a 60% reduction in equipment failure rate. Through technological innovation and scenario adaptation, Compact Diesel-Powered Air Compressor is redefining the performance boundaries of industrial air compressors.
