Atlas Copco has expanded its portable
electric product portfolio to include an
all-new battery driven, portable screw
air compressor. The first of its kind
within the global industrial marketplace,
B-Air 185-12 represents a major
milestone in Atlas Copco's roadmap towards a sustainable future.
B-Air 185-12 features 5-12 bar of pressure, a stable flow rate of 5.4-3.7
m3/min and 55-kWh battery storage capacity. With power delivered from its
onboard power pack, without the need for fuel or a local power source to
plug into, it has the capability to perform for up to a full typical work shift. In
turn, it provides both portability and productivity for those working on sites
where regular access to electricity is not practical.
Making the switch from an internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric
motor brings with it a host of benefits, including less downtime and maintenance
requirements.
With far fewer moving (and therefore wearing) parts, compared to a diesel-powered
unit, the electric B-Air 185-12 only needs to be serviced every
2,000 hours, as opposed to 500 hours for a typical ICE-powered unit.
The machine's state-of-the-art Variable Speed Drive (VSD) and permanent
magnet motor drives down the total cost of ownership, automatically
adjusting the motor speed to match air demand in real-time and increasing
energy efficiency by up to 70 percent.
Through Atlas Copco's rigorous testing process, B-Air 185-12 has proven to
perform optimally, even in the most extreme of climatic conditions - ranging
from +45 degrees Celsius (+113 degrees Fahrenheit), to a glacial -25 degrees
Celsius (-13 degrees Fahrenheit), and 14,764 feet above sea level.
The unit is also designed to excel in densely populated urban areas
where emission and noise pollution are tightly restricted. Plus, the quiet nature
of the compressor enables operators to work without noise distraction,
enhancing both productivity and safety.
Production is scheduled to start in September, using a compact and
modular concept with multiple autonomy variants. UI
