A river connects Guangxi to the sea. A new canal in Guangxi, the Pinglu Canal, is under construction in full swing, with tank trucks, pump trucks and excavators roaring. To achieve smooth passage on this canal, underwater blasting is undoubtedly a key link.
Pinglu Canal: A new chapter in connecting rivers and seas
Pinglu Canal, a canal project located in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is the first canal connecting rivers and seas built since the founding of New China, and is also the backbone project of the Western Land-Sea New Corridor. Its construction is of great significance to promoting regional economic development and promoting shipping prosperity.
In the process of canal channel construction, underwater reef blasting is a crucial link. The so-called underwater reef blasting is to use underwater blasting methods to break or blast underwater reefs to improve the flow state of water, deepen and widen the river channel. During the construction process, air compressor equipment is needed to drive the drill for impact drilling, which requires extremely high performance and stability of the equipment.
· Challenge 1
Requires sufficient, stable and accurate gas volume. Any insufficient or fluctuating gas volume may lead to interruption of drilling or deterioration of drilling quality, thus affecting the effect of the entire blasting operation.
· Challenge 2
Requires the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment. The underwater environment is complex and changeable, and the operating conditions are harsh. Stable equipment operation will not only help reduce maintenance costs, but will also greatly improve engineering efficiency.
Reef blasting weapon: X-AIR 1100-25
Underwater reef blasting operations are handled by a specialized engineering company in Guangxi that focuses on underwater blasting and channel dredging. From the first contact with Atlas Copco products in 2008 to the official purchase in 2022, the company has purchased 13 Atlas Copco air compressors, including various models, to meet different operational needs.
Faced with the demand for high-pressure (above 20bar) and high-volume (above 25m³) air compressors in the 8# section of the Pinglu project, after comprehensive consideration, the X-AIR 1100-25 air compressor stood out and became the ideal choice. Since August 2023, the company has successively purchased 6 X-AIR 1100-25 air compressors for the project, and the use time of a single device has reached 500 hours.
What are the highlights of the X-AIR 1100-25 air compressor in the project?
High performance
It has a rated working pressure of 18-25 bar and an exhaust volume of 30.8-27.8m³/min, which can easily cope with the high requirements of underwater blasting operations for gas volume and pressure.
Intelligent energy saving
The fuel-saving expert and energy-saving expert systems can flexibly adjust the operating status of the air compressor to achieve high efficiency and energy saving. At the same time, the Xc2003 intelligent controller is multi-purpose and easy to operate. The dual-pressure one-button switching function facilitates customers to choose more efficient construction plans for different rock formations.
Environmentally friendly and reliable
The "National IV" engine jointly developed with engine manufacturers has strong power, excellent fuel economy, and lower maintenance costs. Actively respond to the national National IV emission standards, with high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection.
Intimate design
Optional electronic thermostatic valves can be used to control the gas circuit system through electrical signals to completely solve the problem of low-temperature icing of equipment. In addition, the 500-hour maintenance cycle and centralized sewage discharge design also make maintenance more convenient and cost-effective.
The person in charge of the engineering company said: "This National IV X-AIR 1100-25 air compressor not only has excellent performance and high stability, but also has very complete after-sales service, which makes us very worry-free and labor-saving during use."
I believe that in the future, the X-AIR 1100-25 air compressor will continue to contribute more to the construction of the Pinglu Canal!
