Applications

Compressed air application areas on the construction site!

On the construction site, compressed air is used in a multitude of ways – from powering tools and machines to supporting material handling and demolition operations.

Service and support

KAESER compressors and treatment components are bywords for durability, dependability, and user-friendliness. Optimally adapted for the demanding everyday conditions of a construction site, these robust and compact systems simplify your work processes. This increases productivity and reduces costs. Our global service network and intelligent remote monitoring ensure maximum compressed air availability – even on the remotest of construction sites.

Efficiency from start to finish

Out on the construction site, it is imperative that your compressed air supply operates seamlessly and, above all, dependably. Our mobile rotary screw compressors and portable reciprocating compressors provide efficient compressed air generation whenever you need it, wherever you need it. 

This is true regardless of whether it’s a small-scale construction project or a more complex operation involving structural and civil engineering works. KAESER has set itself the task of always to being able to find the best solution for every individual compressed air requirement. Our goal: Highest possible efficiency, maximum performance and complete service- and user-friendliness. Don’t waste time. Put your trust in KAESER.

Compressors tailored to your application

Portable compressors require high operational flexibility so that they may be used for a multitude of applications in a variety of environments. Here, factors such as ambient temperature, humidity, working pressure, elevation, and load cycle profile all play a decisive role. 
Our compressors can be equipped with a wide range of options to meet any requirement, no matter how demanding. Our product portfolio ranges from compressed air treatment components, such as filters and compressed air aftercoolers, to numerous chassis versions and variants equipped with a generator for simultaneous supply of compressed air and electricity.

Everything at a glance: TELEMATICS

Using professional condition monitoring, portable compressors can be continuously monitored and any changes quickly detected. This enables early reaction in the event of errors and signs of wear, thereby 
increasing the service life of the compressor, preventing malfunctions, and saving costs.
 
Remote monitoring of messages and key figures (operating data display) for the compressor on the construction site.
Important data are available wherever and whenever needed: Operating data display, GPS localisation or detailed machine data can all be accessed remotely!
TELEMATICS condition monitoring from KAESER brings Industrie 4.0 to the construction site. Following approval of the data usage contract, we equip our portable compressors with a factory-fitted modem and connect them to the Telematics portal. The integrated SIGMA CONTROL SMART and SIGMA CONTROL MOBIL 2 compressor controllers gather and process all operating data, which they subsequently forward to the TELEMATICS portal. Central monitoring and processing of operating messages is performed in the dashboard and enables the following remote functionality: Operating data display, messages and reports, machine localisation via GPS, maintenance scheduling, system overview and detailed machine data, fleet management, and GeoLeash.

Interesting facts

FAQs, facts and useful insights about the construction site

What are the advantages of compressed air tools over electrically operated ones?

In comparison to electrically operated tools, air tools have numerous advantages: They are lighter, more user-friendly, safer, more powerful, and simpler to maintain. 

A significant plus is that a single compressor can be used to power multiple tools. This removes the requirement for individual power sources. Moreover, the use of compressed air technology significantly increases the efficiency of a construction site. 

Pneumatic tools work more quickly then their electric counterparts and enable tasks to be completed in a shorter time. This in turn results in more rapid project completion, thereby reducing overall costs considerably. What’s more, air tools are more durable and less susceptible to overheating. This increases their service life and reduces maintenance costs.


  • Longer tool service life
  • Less prone to overheating 
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Increased efficiency on the construction site
How do portable compressors from KAESER improve your environmental footprint?

Compressed air systems are more sustainable and environmentally friendly than other energy sources. Why? KAESER compressors operate with high efficiency and are therefore particularly energy-saving. Since a compressor can be used for a multitude of applications, they remove the need to operate multiple electronic devices with their own power supply. 

What’s more, our compressors are exceptionally long-lasting and low-maintenance. This reduces the probability of mechanical failure. Maintenance work and expenditure is reduced and important resources saved. This makes KAESER compressors a sustainable choice that will improve your environmental footprint.

    What makes our portable compressors particularly flexible on the construction site?
    A compressed air compressor for all construction site applications.
    For even more flexibility, we have equipped our most high-performance MOBILAIR compressors with pV Control. With this innovative technology, the same system can be operated between 6 and 14 bar
     
    You determine the required pressure. The compressor regulates the delivery volume itself. 
     
    Need compressed air to operate air tools? 
    No problem! The compressor can simply be set to 7 bar. 
     
    Next day, need a supply of compressed air for concrete processing? 
    Nothing easier. The compressor can also dependably supply compressed air at 12 bar. 
     
    To select the perfect match for your application, pressure can be set in increments of 0.1 bar. You can’t get any more flexible than that!
