Straightforward and reliable, the MB1500 is said to have low maintenance needs and is not fitted with a high-pressure accumulator, reducing the number of moving components it features. However the unit is equipped with Atlas Copco's StartSelect and AutoControl packages, which allow start-up and shutdown to match the application and deliver maximum percussion power despite the operating conditions respectively. The 1.5tonne MB1500 is aimed at use with carriers in the 17-29tonne class and slots into the Atlas Copco range between the 1.2tonne MB1200 and 1.7tonne MB1700.

    Atlas Copco is introducing mobile electric Variable Speed Drive (VSD) air compressors to its E-Air range. These electric compressors are said to suit working in a low emission zone. The absence of diesel emissions, combined with the low noise levels (as low as 61dB(A)), suits the E-Air range for underground applications like tunnelling, as air ventilation is a part of their running costs. While the fixed-speed electric compressor needs a start-up current peak, the VSD electric range offers versatility. Ef
