Portable air compressors: designed for toughness
Designed for toughness
Atlas Copco's portable air compressors and tools are designed for toughness. They are designed, tried, tested and built to deliver the most sustainable solutions for every tough application in every industry.
Safety is at the core of the design process of the products. The units are built with the best, high quality, and long-lasting components. The stable design is composed to ensure safe performance for rigorous usage in tough conditions. To ensure this toughness, various quality tests are done.
Atlas Copco tests the performance of the portable air compressors under all conditions. They undergo tests in freezing and tropical hot temperatures, and in the rain. Their resistance to rust and salt is also tested. The machines are taken for some road tests, to ensure they can be transported to every location you can imagine and the lifting beams are subjected to a strength test. A test unit gets pushed to it limits in a lab to see what tensile forces it can withstand. By doing these various tests, Atlas Copco guarantees the robustness of the chassis, the canopy and all used components.
What makes a portable air compressor tough?
It has a robust design; is durable, and is built to withstand extreme conditions and frequent usage. It can perform safely and at its best no matter how demanding the project or unique the application, and has a reliable output in extreme conditions such as high altitude, dusty environments, and cold/hot temperatures. Tough portable air compressor is designed using the best quality material; its size and weight; durable components; protective features, and the high quality of manufacturing.
How does the toughness of a portable air compressor impact its weight and portability?
Toughness does not equal immobile, heavy machines. On the contrary! Tough machines can be lightweight and easy to move. A prime example is the lightweight polyethene HardHat canopy that is mounted on Atlas Copco’s portable air compressors. The canopy is corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free, lightweight and virtually indestructible. The canopy is made of medium-density polyethene (PE) HardHat, a recent development in material innovation that makes the unit lighter and easier to move, positively influencing your footprint during work.
What makes Atlas Copco solutions tougher than anything else on the market?
Atlas Copco is a leader in industrial innovations, focusing on tough and sustainable solutions. Its portable air compressors are built with the highest quality materials and components, ensuring they are durable and able to withstand harsh operating conditions. The choice of tough materials, together with advanced engineering and robust design, leads to reliable, efficient, and tough performances over time. Testing and validation are important steps in the manufacturing process, making sure the mobile compressors meet high standards to provide customers with long-lasting performance and value.
What tough applications are Atlas Copco portable air compressors suitable for?
Atlas Copco’s portable air compressors are designed to deliver the most sustainable solutions for every tough application, in every industry.The mobile compressors are designed, tried, and tested against even the most demanding conditions, making them a perfect fit for tough applications like geothermal drilling, abrasive blasting or water well drilling at any remote location.
What tests are in place to verify the robustness of an Atlas Copco portable air compressor?
After thorough virtual tests, the portable machines undergo real-life trials to ensure their performance and robustness. Atlas Copco tests the performance of its portable air compressors under all conditions, including freezing and tropical hot temperatures, and in the rain. Their resistance to rust and salt is also tested to ensure the units can weather any outdoor environments. Atlas Copco portable air compressors are taken for further road tests, to ensure they can be transported to every location you can imagine, and are tough enough to take any terrain in their stride. The lifting beams are also subjected to a strength test, where a prototype gets pushed to its limits in a lab to see what tensile forces they can withstand.
