Q & A
deployed as a universal power source but would often be specifically used for drilling smaller holes into which explosives are placed for clearing .
Working above ground , compressors would be much larger due to the need to drill much wider holes at depths of over 100 metres . These compressors are typically reliant upon diesel due to the difficulties in accessing any other power source in remote mining locations . Despite the size of these compressors , it is still very important that they can be easily transported between sites . A compressor used for drilling applications should fit on the same truck as the drill mechanism .
Examples ? Two examples of ‘ sustainable productivity ’ in action can be found in compressors for exploration drilling and also in light towers .
