Air Compressors

Explore high-pressure air compressors for mineral exploration, RC drilling, Air Core drilling, DTH drilling and water well applications. CED covers compressor selection, pressure, airflow, CFM, bar ratings, setup, maintenance and matching the right compressor to the drill rig and ground conditions.

From standalone and trailer-mounted compressors to complete drill-and-compressor packages, CED supplies heavy-duty air compressor solutions for mining, exploration and drilling contractors operating.

Some of the world's most interesting gold, copper, lithium and critical mineral exploration targets are not conveniently located beside sealed roads, workshops and established mining infrastructure.

CED SFM Series: 6x6 Mobile Drilling Rigs Built for Remote Mineral Exploration

The concept combines specialised exploration drilling equipment with rugged 6x6 mobility, support vehicles and modular trailer systems to create something bigger than an individual drill rig.

Successful Air Core drilling starts long before the first metre is drilled. A drill rig alone does not make an efficient exploration program. The rig needs to be correctly matched with the compressor, Air Core drill string, rods, bits, sampling equipment, consumables, critical spare parts and, most importantly, experienced operators who understand how to make the complete system work.

Air Core Drilling Solutions: CED Rigs, Consumables, Compressors, Operators and Complete Program Management

CED manufactures Air Core drill rigs and drilling consumables, supplies compressors and supporting equipment, and can provide the experienced drilling personnel required to operate and manage exploration programs in the field.

Rather than simply supplying excessive quantities of parts, the objective is to identify the components most likely to be required during the initial operating period and ensure they are available on site.

CEDRC450: Complete RC Drilling Capability — Rig, Air, Consumables, Spares and Operators

You can purchase excellent drilling equipment and still have an unsuccessful drilling programme if the people operating it do not have the necessary experience.
