Material Composition:

  • Chassis: S355 structural steel with enhanced cross-bracing
  • Engine Block: Cast iron, wet-liner design
  • Airend: GA 30 series with 4-valve rotor set
  • Radiator: Enlarged aluminum core (30% more capacity vs Gen 7)

Structural Features:

  • Upgraded hydraulic jack system with auto-level sensors
  • Reinforced towbar with 2-point hitch
  • Larger service access panels
  • Improved canopy drainage system

Working Principle: Deutz TCD 2013 L04 4V engine drives the GA 30 VSD+ airend. The variable speed drive adjusts rotor RPM to match air demand, maintaining constant discharge pressure while minimizing fuel burn. Oil-injected compression provides sealing, cooling, and lubrication in a single system.

Key Advantages:

  • Generation 9 platform with 13% more engine power than Gen 7
  • VSD+ equipped for fuel savings at variable loads
  • Enhanced cooling system supports continuous operation in 45°C ambient
  • HW-rated for altitudes up to 4,000m

Applicable Industries: Construction, quarrying, rental fleets, concrete production, surface preparation

Installation Requirements:

  • Ground bearing capacity ≥ 11 tonnes/m²
  • 2.5m service clearance on compressor side
  • Optional auto-start module available for unattended operation

Usage Precautions:

  • VSD+ system requires clean power supply — use only with EIP or quality 400V connection
  • Check V-belt tension weekly during first 100 hours
  • Fuel filter change: every 250 hours
  • Do not idle engine for more than 10 minutes without air load
