Struggling for reliable drilling solution at your mining site?
Excavator-mounted Chicago Pneumatic compressor at mining site
In the tough terrains of coal overburden (OB) removal and iron ore mining, where productivity counts and downtime isn’t acceptable, you need to choose the right equipment to make all the difference. Whether you’re tackling massive overburden at coal fields or drilling down dense layers of iron ore, you need compressors that lead the way with consistent drilling performance in such tough conditions.
Why the need for reliable, portable power?
Coal OB removal is the first step of coal mining that involves removing layers of soil and rock lying above the coal seam. Similarly, iron ore deposits are dense and demand intensive precision drilling for effective extraction.
In both segments drilling on uneven terrains is the backbone of productivity. The need for consistent pressure, long operational hours, mobility is critical – but not all compressors are built to meet these demands and hence, your equipment must be tough, reliable and adaptable.

How CPS 575-225 & CPS 850-290 prove to be the game-changer
CPS 575-225 and CPS 850-290 are specifically built to address the rugged challenges and meet the performance demands of this segment.
· Ideal for 6m – 10m drilling: These compressors are ideal for delivering optimal air output and pressure needed for efficient DTH (down-the-hole) drilling. Whether you're using hammers or other pneumatic tools drilling 6-inch diameter holes, the air supply remains consistent without pressure drops. The CPS 575-225 is a solid choice for most general drilling applications in this range up to 6m, while the CPS 850-290 offers more power for deeper, tougher rock formations upto 10m.
· Higher uptime: Imagine your compressor is engineered to run consistently for more than 20hrs at a stretch, where interruptions can cost you time and money. This means meeting your real-time demand with fewer refuelling stops and minimal downtime.
· Compact, Rugged and Lightweight: With compact footprint and rugged construction, both models resist harsh conditions without compromising on portability. Rather the lightweight design facilitates excavator-mounting that can be moved effortlessly in difficult terrains.
· Endurance at high ambient temperatures: Operations at coal or iron ores often push the equipment to extremes, but our compressors are built to last. Whether you’re working in extreme heat at 50°C or rugged, dusty terrain, these compressors are engineered to offer optimal and consistent performance. This is possible due to their robust design and superior cooling systems.

What makes the CPS 575-225 & CPS 850-290 your ideal partners in this segment
The CPS 850-290 is a dual pressure powerhouse, letting you toggle between 250 psi / 290 psi that is excellent for deeper, harder formations. This operational flexibility enables precise control over drilling speed and power, optimizing fuel and equipment life while matching air pressure to your exact needs.
Whereas the CPS 575-225 is the most suitable for coal overburden (OB) and mid-tier iron-ore drilling setups. With flowrate of 575 cfm at pressure of 225 psi, this is built for the mine to drill without interruption.
Being rugged yet compact and lightweight, make these models suitable for excavator-mounting. This flexibility enables easy on-the-go portability in remote or uneven terrains at mines. Their compact and lightweight design not only make them easier to mount and move — it also translates to lower fuel consumption at the mine. And in a high-volume drilling operation, reduced fuel use means significant operational savings.
