Compressor manufacturer Kaeser Kompressoren has launched the Mobilair M44, a Stage V compliant compressor that it said “bridges a market gap by offering portable compressed air systems that combine high performance with a compact, eco-friendly design.”

Delivering an output of 4.1 m³/min at an operating pressure of 7 bar, the Mobilair M44 sits between Kaeser’s existing 3 m³ and 5 m³ units and is described by the company as a “powerful, compact, and environmentally friendly solution” for the European market.

The unit is powered by a Kubota diesel engine with a diesel particulate filter and comes with optimised power management and a low maximum engine speed of 2500 rpm that Kaeser said delivers “outstanding fuel efficiency and minimal emissions.”

The machine also features the new Sigma Control Smart controller to make operation of it easier. With this, maximum pressure can be adjusted precisely in 0.1-bar increments between 6 and 7.5 bar at the touch of a button.

The compressor controller is said to ensure optimised compressed air availability, fuel efficiency and exhaust gas management.

Meanwhile, a 45 litre tank capacity can provide enough capacity to work for a full shift. 

Additionally, it comes with a spin-on cartridge for simple and efficient oil separation, while its lightweight design (weighing 750kg) is said to make it ideal to be towed on the road without a braked trailer and ensures easy transportation with a B-driving licence.

Other standard features include an operating mode indicator, monitoring and system diagnostics and anti-frost control as standard, which makes it an ideal solution for operation of pneumatic hammers and impact moles.

Compressed air reheating and filters for technically oil-free compressed air are also available as optional features, which come equipped with a braked chassis. A choice of different chassis options - unbraked or with an overrun brake - as well as stationary versions with skids or machine feet, are also available.

Kaeser told IRN that it will show the unit at Bauma next year, which takes place from April 7-13 in Munich, Germany.
