Boosters & Compressors

Compressed air is required for powering the hammers on the ITH longhole drills.

Since all the air required by ITH hammers can not be produced onboard the drill units, portable boosters and compressors allow the delivery of the required air in the mine. Our ITH boosters & compressors series provides air for  3” to 8” ITH hammers and V–30 reaming heads at wide altitude level.

Built with robust frames and accessible components, the range is meant for ease of maintenance and reduced down time.

KA-series Air compressors

Sandvik KA-series electrically powered air compressors are an alternative to expensive mine air supply infrastructure. The KA-series single- and two-stage air compressors are designed for sup­plying air for 3” to 8” ITH hammers and V-30 boring heads at wide altitude range.

KS-series Boosters

Sandvik KS-series electrically powered screw boosters are designed for supplying air for 3” to 8” ITH hammers and V-30 reaming heads at wide altitude range.

KR-series Boosters

Sandvik KR-series electrically powered reciprocating boosters are designed for supplying air for 3” to 8” ITH hammers and V-30 reaming heads at wide altitude range. They compress 6 to 7 bar air from the mine supply infrastructure to 24 bar, and the typical use is to deliver air directly to an ITH drill.
