Predictable air supply in unpredictable environment
May 9, 2016
Antwerp, Belgium, May 9, 2016: Even in the most severe weather conditions, Atlas Copco can provide reliable air supply. This is certainly true when Atlas Copco Rental provides temporary compressed air to exploit iron ore mine in Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost town.
Exclusively Atlas Copco air for large iron mine The mine, which is operated by state-owned mining company LKAB, is exploited 365 days a year, on a 24/7 basis. No need to say that such a schedule requires for a lot of compressed air. Recently LKAB made an agreement with Itsab, a long-time partner of Atlas Copco. To guarantee compressed air of the best quality, LKAB is going to switch their entire compressed air installation to Atlas Copco.
Atlas Copco and Itsab: a successful relationship in a challenging climate To make this switch, LKAB both purchases and rents Atlas Copco compressors. The quality of the Atlas Copco products combined with the knowledge of Itsab guarantees LKAB a predictable compressed air supply in an unpredictable environment.
