Portable compressors for construction sites and quarries

Mobile, rugged, off-grid.

Construction sites, quarries and extraction sites require mobile, rugged compressors operating off-grid. They power jackhammers, drills, sandblasting and pneumatic demolition tools, in harsh environmental conditions: dust, vibrations, extreme temperatures, trailer transport.

Technical challenges

What needs to be solved.

01Ensure complete energy autonomy via an integrated diesel engine compliant with CE Stage V emissions standards, with all-weather starting.
02Withstand field conditions (dust, shocks, road transport) thanks to a reinforced chassis and ISO 3744 compliant acoustic enclosure.
03Keep maintenance simple and accessible for site teams - direct access to filters, oil change, level checks.

CEZIUM technologies

Our technical answer.

On a site, the first criterion is not efficiency: it is starting, every morning, with no mains supply.

Portable diesel

37 to 429 kW

Full autonomy from a diesel engine, a towable chassis, and maintenance done on the spot with simple tools.

46 catalogue models

Stationary diesel

295 to 447 kW

The same ruggedness in a fixed position, for site accommodation, a treatment plant or a long-running job.

7 catalogue models

High-pressure piston

2.2 to 45 kW

When the tool needs a pressure far above the network: drilling, testing, high-pressure inflation.

38 catalogue models

Standards & certifications

Applicable standards.

CEISO 9001

Compliances are verified case by case according to the selected model and audit scope. Complete documentation provided with each machine.

Air quality

The classes usually required

A site needs no treated air for ordinary tools. Treatment becomes useful again as soon as a sensitive process is involved, or in site accommodation.

ISO 8573-1 classes commonly met at each point of use, for guidance.
Point of use	Particles	Water (dew point)	Oil
Site pneumatic tools	Classe 4	Non traité	Classe 3
Sensitive process, painting, spraying	Classe 3	+3 °C (classe 4)	Classe 2

FAQ

The questions we are asked

What flow should a construction site plan for?

It is calculated on the tools actually used at the same time, not on the sum of every tool present. Adding up each breaker, drill and blower leads to an oversized machine running at part load, with the extra consumption that follows. The simultaneity factor is the first figure to establish.

Does site air need treating?

Not for ordinary pneumatic tools, which tolerate raw air and are in fact designed to receive a little lubricating oil. Treatment becomes necessary as soon as spraying, painting or instrumentation is involved: there, water and particles become the problem.

How do you keep up maintenance in harsh conditions?

Through access and through parts. Filters, oil changes and level checks must be possible without dismantling, using site tools; wear parts must arrive fast, and CEZIUM ships them within 24 to 48 hours with ten-year guaranteed availability. Dust shortens the intervals: that is the point to watch in a quarry.

How to size an air compressor: flow, pressure and storage

Sizing a compressor properly is not a matter of picking a power rating in kW: it means calculating the real flow, the right pressure and suitable storage. A 4-step method, with a worked example.

Predictive maintenance on air compressors: indicators, alerts, gains

Predictive maintenance eliminates 70 to 75% of breakdowns on average, according to the US Department of Energy, and extends component life. Here are the indicators to monitor and the alert thresholds.
