South Africa has received its first delivery of two CPS 950-10 portable compressors from Chicago Pneumatic as the company expands its growth strategy in the country.
The two high-pressure diesel compressors are now in action for abrasive blasting applications in the Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the North-West provinces. The order, placed by Retrofit Compressed Air Services, has been welcomed by Chicago Pneumatic “as an indication of growing demand for its high-pressure compressor range, in both the construction and mining industries.”
Retrofit, based in Boksburg, is supplying the two CPS 950-10 units to rental company Thembeka Air, which has premises in Vanderbijlpark and Rustenburg.
The compressors provide a compressed air flow of up to 27m³/minute at a working pressure of up to 10bar.
Robert Labuschagne, owner of Retrofit Compressed Air Services, said he was pleased to add the CPS 950-10 compressors to a list of 14 portable compressors ordered from Chicago Pneumatic in 2014, including CPS 130, CPS 185, CPS 275 and CPS 375.
