High Pressure Drilling

High Pressure Drilling

Water wells and geotechnical applications that require very deep drilling depend on high-powered air compressors to drive the drill rig.

LATELAS compressors are designed to get the job done. They feature an efficient, fast-reacting speed regulator that delivers consistent outlet pressure for stable hammer/drill operation and a high penetration rate. High pressure ensures faster operation, while high flow ensures larger drill diameter. And high ambient temperature operation is standard for reliable performance in demanding conditions, job after job.

APPLICATIONS: The LATELAS range is suitable for Down The Hole (DTH) and rotary drilling. offering a comfortable operating zone for drill hole diameters from 4.5 to 8 in (11.4 to 20.3 cm). Common applications include drilling for water wells and foundations for high-rise buildings, as well as geotechnical/geothermal applications.

RECOMMENDED MODELS: Nominal Working Pressure: 17 to 23 bar (250 to 330 psi) Free Air Delivery Range: 21.8 to 34 m3/min (770 to 1,308 cfm) Maximum Ambient Air Temperature: 50 to 56°C (122 to 133 F)
