Demolition sites use compressed air for breakers, cutting, drilling and dust suppression, usually with no grid power and in dusty, hazardous conditions. The air supply must be mobile, rugged and matched to the tools.
Key applications
- Pneumatic breakers and hammers
- Rock and concrete drilling
- Cutting and chipping tools
- Dust suppression and cleaning
Sizing the mobile supply
Add the simultaneous demand of all air tools and add a margin for hose length and wear. Under-sized air slows the breakers and forces the compressor to run flat out, while the right machine keeps production steady.
Safety and environment
Choose diesel portable compressors with spark arrestors where flammable material is present, and heavy-duty filtration for dust. Keep the compressor clear of falling debris and confirm the duty cycle supports continuous breaker work.
