Known as the coal mining region, East Kalimantan in Indonesia plays a vital role in the operation of several mining projects. One of the biggest mining contractors in Indonesia operates in the intense tropical conditions of East Kalimantan with Atlas Copco's XAHS38 portable air compressor.
The XAHS38 is lightweight, fuel-efficient (saving 25% on fuel), conserves energy during idle times, and is easily transportable. It ensures optimal performance and safety for heavy-duty dump truck maintenance by providing the necessary air pressure and flow. Dependable in all conditions and 150 kg lighter than comparable models, the XAHS38 reduces time and fuel consumption while increasing utilization.
In 2023, the contractor upgraded to seven units of Atlas Copco’s U190 PACE (Pressured Adjust Cognitive Electronics) model. These robust compressors, equipped with PACE technology, offer versatile applications, including tire inflation, tool operation, and truck service.
The Application of XAHS38 in Coal Mining Indonesia
Efficiency and Safety in Mining with XAHS38 & U190 PACE Air Compressors
Heavy-duty vehicles are essential for efficient coal mining operations, handling material transport, equipment mobility, and infrastructure support. The XAHS38 and U190 PACE air compressors enhance efficiency by ensuring optimal tire pressure, preventing accidents, and minimizing downtime. They meet the rigorous demands of mining environments and contribute to overall operational success.
Smooth Operations with PACE Technology
The compressors with PACE technology can replace, on average, three fixed-pressure compressors, offering the widest operating pressure range within a single unit and allowing multiple pressure and flow combinations.
PACE technology in the U190 model provides adjustable pressure from 5.5 to 10.5 bar, enhancing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The pressure setting can be customized to meet specific customer needs, saving time during setup, improving return on investment, and reducing transport costs due to their optimum footprint.
We're really happy with what the machines offer. Reliable air compressors are essential for keeping operations smooth, ensuring vehicle safety, and minimizing downtime from various field issues. Upgrading to the PACE technology for our air compressor fleet was a smart move—it's versatile and helps us in any situation, making it beneficial for our projects.
