Industries worldwide are making a great effort to limit their carbon footprint and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and a key factor in this transition is the adoption of renewable energy sources. In today's technologically advanced mining industry, where portable air and power are increasingly crucial, batteries play a key role in enhancing productivity and operational efficiency.
Think beyond the sticker shock! Discovering the true value in a higher purchase price for your mobile air compressor requires a shift in perspective. It's not just about the upfront cost, but rather when Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) proves to be more economical than cheaper alternatives. Here, we flip the script and debunk the most common misconceptions related to TCO, helping you make more savvy purchase decisions.
The launch of the world’s first battery-driven portable screw compressor, the B-Air 185-12, marks a defining moment in the market’s transformation towards a low carbon future.
Electric submersible pumps have a solid history in mining applications. In this article, Bart Duijvelaar, Product Marketing Manager of Submersible Pumps at Atlas Copco Power and Flow, explains how the mining industry should rely on manufacturers that can provide the right solutions to meet the mining challenges.
A truly reliable compressor must be capable of operating in the harshest conditions for extended periods of time. Here are 7 indicators that your unit is tough enough to continuously tackle even the most demanding projects.
One of the most crucial components of any quarrying application is managing water. Whether the water accumulates in the quarry from heavy rainfall, groundwater seepage, or both, it must be removed for the quarry site to continue operations. To keep everyone’s feet and equipment dry, dewatering pumps are used in quarries all around the world.
For demanding applications, take your compressor’s pressure levels to new heights and maximise productivity with high-pressure boosters.
Why are regulation systems so vital in a portable air compressor? And how do they differ to those suitable for a stationary machine? Guy Laps, Technology and Innovation Manager at Atlas Copco, explains.
With new equipment supply tight, providing a steady source of quality reconditioned used compressors is a sound – and sustainable – alternative, says Dominic Fancini, of Atlas Copco Portable Air Division.
One of the most common temporary pump applications is water removal on construction sites. There are many ways to set up the equipment in a pump application, all of them have two vital elements in common. Dewatering pumps downtime can cause severe safety problems and impact the productivity of all contractors on site.
Applications, regulations, treatments - there’s plenty to consider when understanding your pressure requirements.
This summer’s record temperatures, droughts and wildfires are underlining the reality of climate change. Construction equipment must switch to electric if we are to play our part in stopping the planet overheating, says Maarten Vermeiren, Product Marketing Manager Sustainability and Digitalization at Atlas Copco Portable Air.
Reliable power is a key factor that affects construction site operational efficiency and, therefore, productivity. Until now, the industry has relied heavily on diesel generators in the past, but Energy Storage Systems (ESS) offer some advantages that play a part in improving construction industry productivity.
Last year, Atlas Copco Power and Flow launched the WEDA D70, an electric submersible pump with a disruptive hydraulic design that will be progressively implemented in subsequent models. What are the main benefits brought by the innovative high-tech platform?
Suppose you are shopping for a new compressor or engine but do not want to spend the amount it costs to purchase a new machine. Remanufactured or refurbished equipment is the way to go. Both programs are fully tested before being sold or resold and come with warranties, offering you a good ROI.
We will dedicate this post to our newest technological development: Atlas Copco's Wear Deflector Technology. It first saw the light in our most recent product addition, the WEDA D70 electric submersible pump.
Hurricane season is upon us, and according to experts, we better brace ourselves for a stormy one. Prepare your hurricane equipment rental with generators and dewatering pumps. Storm recovery can include the use of submersible pumps, power generators and other dewatering pumps by municipalities, homeowners and hurricane cleanup businesses.
When choosing the right pump, one of those factors to consider is the Specific Gravity of the fluid you intend to move. Learn how it affects pressure and power consumption.
How do you determine the right equipment for a dewatering project? It depends on many factors: liquid type, onsite application, availability of power sources, accessibility. This article help the reader to convey the right questions when choosing a pump.
There’s a science to the safe operation of air compressors – some physics, some chemistry – and a basic understanding of that science, type of compressors and why cooling compressed air can be very important.
Cavitation is a common problem with pumps, centrifugal pumps in particular. This condition, usually due to insufficient NPSH energy, can generate vibrations and damage the impeller.
Compressed air pressure and flow seem simple enough, right? You turn the compressor on and compressed air comes out. Well, not exactly. Quite a bit of science like thermodynamics, goes into that air compressor.
Portable air compressor costs add up and a lot of that is fuel costs over the lifetime of the application or use on a job site. That’s because fixed or variable compressors have different technologies. A truly great air compressor digital controller is unique to that compressor; one that not only puts you in control, but also ensures that you are getting the absolute most out of your machine.
Can air be dangerous? You wouldn’t generally think of the air we breathe as presenting a potential danger. Truth is, it can be extremely dangerous; especially when discharged from a portable electric or diesel-powered air compressor.
How mobile compressors can lower their carbon footprint thanks to HVO, a fossil-free bio-fuel.
The DrillAir range provides one of the highest air volumes at one of the highest air pressures available in the portable compressor industry. This also makes these new compressors one of the most energy efficient by having a very low specific fuel consumption for the air delivered.
Do you run your own equipment rental company and have to decide on which compressor to take in your fleet? Or perhaps you’re often relying on rental equipment to run your own business and you want to know what to look out for. These are 7 questions will help you to choose the next compressor for your rental fleet.
