Ingersoll Rand Airends and Parts for Drilling and Mining Applications

Most drilling and mining applications require mobile or portable compressed air. Low pressure air is typically needed for pneumatic hammers, breakers, mole and rock drilling applications, internal vibrators and suction excavators, while high pressure air is used for pneumatic Down-The-Hole (DTH) drill rigs, sand blasting, soda and dry ice blasting, concrete conveying or spraying, fiber optic cable blowing, piling and many more applications.

Ingersoll Rand (GHH) airend models used in drilling and mining applications include the following oil-injected airends with a volume range of 254 to 4,096 SCFM :

  • CF75G, CF90G5, OS110R, OS110G, CF128G, CF128HG, CF128R, CF1000H, CF180G2, IR178.5, IR226, CE177G, HR 2.0, HR 2.5, IR285, CE224G, IR2x285

These airends are used in Ingersoll Rand and many other drill rig manufacturers including Atlas Copco, Reichdrill and TMBohrtechnik (Now RTDrill)

Some of the drill rig models with IR (GHH) airends include: 

  • DM series (DM25, DM30, DM45, DM50, DML, DMH, DM-M3 etc.) 
  • ECM series (ECM350, ECM370, ECM470, ECM490, ECM580, ECM585, ECM590, ECM600, ECM660, ECM670, CM672, ECM690, ECM720, CM760D, CM780D etc.) 
  • Pit Viper series (PV-235, PV-270, PV-271, PV-275, PV-311, PV351 etc.) 
  • RTDrill Rigs (RTD20, RTD25, RTD28, RTD32, RTD45, RTD55, RTD70, RTD75)
  • Others

These airends are also used in IR and many other manufacturer’s portable air compressors.

High performance of compressor airend is critical for the efficiency and cost effectiveness of drilling applications. Therefore, if the volume or pressure of air reduces significantly due to wear, it may be the time to replace your airend.

Ingersoll Rand Airends and Parts for Construction Applications

In demanding environments, like the construction market, reliable machines and tools that comply with high engineering standards are needed to provide optimum performance, high efficiency and long life.

IR airend models used in air compressors for construction applications include the following oil-injected and oil-free airends with a volume range of 92 to 2,207 SCFM:

  • CE55RW, CF75D8, CF75G, CF90D4, CF90G5, OS110R, OS110G, CF128G, OS163R, CF180R, CF180G2, IR178.5, IR226, CE177G, HR 2.0, HR 2.5, IR285, CE224G and Oil-Free models CD4D VSD, CD8D, CD14D, CD26D.

Power Take-Off (PTO) Air Compressors

NCA Power Take-Off Air Compressors

NCA Power Take-Off (PTO) Air Compressors are designed for applications where a dedicated power source is not required for the air compressor. These units were originally designed for the drill rig manufacturer or operator to provide a compressor package driven by the Power Take-Off of the drill carrier or by the hydraulic motor. These compressors can be adapted for any mobile equipment application where a power source is already available.

NCA Canada can supply a compressor to meet your requirements. Whether it is a skid mounted package requiring only the input drive or a component kit to be installed on an existing piece of mobile equipment, NCA can install and commission the compressor at one of our four manufacturing facilities.

We also offer conversion packages to upgrade your existing Power Take-Off Air Compressor package to higher volume and higher pressure.

NCA offers PTO packages with volumes of up to 3,000 SCFM and pressures of up to 600 PSIG with single stage and two stage screw air compressors. When provided with input power and speed plus any physical constraints of your system, we can design a PTO package to meet your requirements.

Please view below our Power Take-Off (PTO) Air Compressor’s features, options and specifications. Contact our head office to speak with our sales representatives and experts about your requirements or request a quote.
