Sullair Australia will unveil a new series of portable diesel compressors on Stand SL104 during AIMEX – Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition 2011, to be held at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush, from September 6-9.
The compressed air specialist says the four new compressors are ideal for the hot, humid and dusty conditions faced by Australia’s mining and construction industries.
Available in 550, 600, 700 and 750 acfm (actual cubic feet/minute) capacities, the compressors deliver a range of working pressures from 80 to 250 psig (pounds per square inch gauge).
Their design incorporates robust highway running gear with a new single axle configuration and can accommodate a Caterpillar C7, tier 3 emissions-compliant unit delivering 250 hp.
"And this combination has reduced the overall weight of the compressor by 1.2 tonnes, providing increased manoeuvrability and portability," Sullair’s national marketing manager Michael Knowles said.
A new design for the canopy and service doors is another feature of the range and provides easier access for servicing and maintenance.
Three-stage filtration had also enhanced the efficiency of the new compressors, Knowles said.
Additional improvements include an SSAM (shutdown system with an annunciator module) to warn an operator of high temperatures, low fuel or pressure and control systems that provide real-time information via a user-friendly control panel.
"The overall improvements in this new series of portable diesel compressors give the mining and construction industries greater flexibility, efficiency and safety," Knowles said.
The new compressors will be available in December.
Melbourne-headquartered Sullair Australia designs and manufactures Champion brand industrial rotary screw air compressors and imports Sullair diesel portable compressors. It also offers engineered compressor solutions, plus an extensive range of vacuum systems, air treatment systems and water chillers.
