Kaeser Kompressoren’s Mobilair range of portable compressors are designed with fuel-saving motors and heavy-duty chassis to provide compressed air in tough environments. In particular, the company has seen demand for the Mobilair M235 compressor increase in the Middle East’s construction and mining sectors.
The M235 compressor has a wide range of applications: mining is one of its major markets, but its overall design and robustness makes it suitable for construction related applications. With air treatment and safety options, the M235 can be also be utilized when clean compressed air is required as well as use within the oil and gas sector.
With its steerable chassis and foldable tow bar the M235 is a very portable unit, easily manoeuvred around any site location. It also has skid mounted and stationary options. The combination of the 201Kw Cummins engine and Sigma profile screw air end make fuel efficiency the best in class. The fact we have tailor made the unit specifically for the harsh conditions found in the Middle East ensure its durability is guaranteed.
Carl Briden, director, Kaeser Kompressoren, says, “We expect sales of the M235 model to increase as more of our existing and new customers in the Middle East become familiar with its performance, adaptability and reliability. Our Mobilair fleet management allows to look under the hood from a distance and also displays the position of the system in real time. All operating data, which are displayed on the machine display, are transmitted. This includes, for example, a countdown for the next maintenance or information about the diesel level. If there is a service or warning message on the unit control, a SMS or email is automatically sent to the user.”

“For our compressed air giant M500-2, the modem is a standard equipment, whereas for systems with electronic control it is one of the options that can be used at the customer’s request or in conjunction with a service contract. In the event of a fault, the machine data can be used to diagnose the system from a distance and to initiate immediate remedial action.
We are presenting the next generation at the Bauma 2019 in Munich. One advantage is the easier integration of the data into existing portals for other construction machinery. This makes the use even more convenient,” he adds.
Electric-drive portable compressors, M250E and M255E, to be unveiled at Bauma 2019
The new M250E and M255E Mobilair e-power compressor series will be presented for the first time at the Bauma Munich 2019 expo. These are robust skid-mounted construction compressors with 132kW (M250E) and 160kW (M255E) electric motors, specially designed for frequent transport and outdoor installation. The forklift guides and the crane eye help during the loading process. Due to the slim design, two units can be transported side by side on one truck to save costs. Safety is ensured by lashing lugs. The volume flow of around 875 cfm is slightly higher than that of the diesel-driven M235. The operation with Sigma Control Smart is identical to that of the M235.
The drive units of these portable compressors consist of a highly energy-efficient IE4 electric motor and a Sigma Profile airend that has consistently proven itself in industrial rotary screw compressors. Depending on the combination and pressure range, the M250E delivers flow rates of up to 25 m³/min at 8.6 bar, while the more powerful M255E puts out up to 24.7 m³/min at 10 bar or 19.9 m³/min at 12 bar.
The entire system is designed for outdoor installations and moved easily from place to place. The galvanised skids with forklift slots, fitted as standard, and the crane lifting eye are a big help when loading and unloading. The narrow footprint is optimised for transport. Two M255E units can be placed side by side on a lorry, and the rigging eyelets ensure that they arrive safely.
Applications are versatile, extending from temporary use in industry to handle peak production periods to permanent outdoor installations, for uses ranging from sandblasting to the delivery of air for mining operations.
The closed floor pan, supplied as standard, is there for all eventualities to protect the environment against spills. All controls, maintenance points and connection points for power and compressed air are conveniently accessible. The aftercooler with centrifugal separator, supplied as standard, extracts moisture from the air.
The optional filter combination for oil-free compressed air is installed within the compact body of the unit. A connection to a master controller is also provided.
