Atlas Copco's E-Air H450 VSD used for sandblasting container units
Wypożyczalnia Kontener Zbigniew Wiktorski Spółka Jawna (Wypożyczalnia Kontener)’s facility is a hive of activity, where used shipping containers of all shapes and sizes are stored to be rented out to construction companies as construction site facilities across the country. Among the bustling operations, a silent hero works tirelessly to keep the containers looking spick and span and rental-ready: an Atlas Copco’s electric portable air compressor, the E-Air H450 VSD.
Wypożyczalnia Kontener uses its E-Air compressor for the purpose of sandblasting all on-site containers before they are shipped off to customers – a process that is crucial for removing paint, rust, debris, scratches, and casting marks from their surfaces. Zbigniew Wiktorski, owner of Wypożyczalnia Kontener, recognized the need for a solution that could withstand the dusty environment where the containers are stored; while also delivering a consistent, reliable supply of compressed air for uninterrupted shotblasting performance. Moreover, the unit cannot emit exhaust gases and should operate at low noise to improve the working conditions of the indoor workplace. The answer came in the form of Atlas Copco’s E-Air H450 VSD, an electric portable air compressor designed to excel in extreme, tough condition.
We initially sought a stationary unit with the same robustness and efficiency as the portable E-Air compressor but couldn't find one on the market. Thankfully, we have found that the E-Air delivers the same high performance as other stationary units, yet with a more robust, streamlined and user-friendly design. A standout feature is that the compact unit doesn’t require a dedicated compressor room, saving space and simplifying our setup. It has truly exceeded our expectations.
