In-the-hole longhole drill rigs
KA-series Air Compressors
Sandvik KA-series Air Compressors provide a cost-effective alternative to expensive mine air supply infrastructure. These screw-type, electrically powered compressors are designed to supply air for 3 - 8 inch in-the-hole (ITH) hammers and V-30 boring heads and offer single or two-stage solutions.
Features
-
Zero emissions
Air supply is completely emission-free, reducing your mine’s overall emissions and ventilation costs while helping create a safer, healthier working environment.
-
Designed for extreme conditions
KA-series Air Compressors are designed for heavy-duty use and can withstand being dragged, lifted or slung in any orientation. This equipment is configured to meet the most extreme requirements in underground mining, including ambient temperature.
-
Single or two-stage compression
The single-stage compressors (KA411, KA611 and KA811) compress atmospheric air to 7 bar, typically used for feeding air boosters that supply ITH drills. The two-stage compressors (KA421, KA621 and KA821) compress atmospheric air to 24 bar, serving as both a compressor and booster, directly supplying air to ITH drills without the need for a booster.

Easy monitoring
Using electronic controls, the drill operator can control the air compressor and monitor operational data from the onboard control panel or at the ITH drill user interface.
