Atlas Copco Power Technique and long-standing distributor, Airlif Compressors & Pumps, collaborated to deliver a reliable compressed air solution to a foremost opencast mine customer in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The ultra-robust Atlas Copco U110PACE unit was chosen as the ideal partner for the application, having been specially engineered to bring mobility and reliability to even the toughest mining landscapes.
Airlif Compressors is a leading Level 2 B-BBEE supplier to prominent mines and companies in the Mpumalanga region. The company was first approached by Atlas Copco Industrial South Africa 2 years ago to market their range of industrial air products, and has since established itself as a trusted distributor.
Airlif Compressors supplied the U110PACE to the service vehicle manufacturer who was responsible for mounting the uniton to a refurbished water bowser.
The U110PACE has been rigorously tested and proven to weather any terrain, and achieves a consistent, reliable output of compressed air through snow, mud, rain or dust. All units are equipped with a high-speed fan for optimum performance in high temperatures, and they undergo full footprint data tests to track flow and pressure optimization, contact surface temperature and starting capability.
The U110PACE is part of Atlas Copco’s 8 Series Utility range and is renowned for its compact and box-shaped design; subsequently making it easy to move, lift and mount the compressors onto vehicles.
