Pipe bursting requires an array of specialized equipment. Sometimes that bulky equipment, however, can be difficult to transport to remote sites. Now customers seeking a portable air compressor solution for large bursting jobs will appreciate the convenient transportability, easy maintenance and performance versatility of the Doosan Portable Power HP1600/VHP1400 portable air compressor.
The HP1600/VHP1400 is 5 feet shorter than its predecessor. With this reduced length, two of these machines can fit on many traveling-axle trailers. Oversized fork pockets on either side of the axles enhance ease of trailer loading and unloading.
“We considered all the ways we could reduce expenses and increase uptime for our customers when designing the new HP1600/VHP1400,” says Cody Blythe, Doosan Portable Power senior product specialist, air compressors. “By maximizing trailer space, end users can get these air compressors where they’re needed with fewer trucks or trips.”
For convenient serviceability, the HP1600/VHP1400 has wide, gas-spring-assisted doors allowing for easy access to internal components. Operators can reach all fluids, filters and other common maintenance items from the ground. A simple control panel with analog gauges provides machine diagnostics that are easy to understand for customers of all experience levels. Rental houses and other large fleet owners can add telematics to the machines for increased monitoring of maintenance needs. An environmentally friendly containment basin offers full fluid containment, and Doosan’s coolbox design prolongs system life and eliminates lengthy cooldowns.
Performance advantages of the HP1600/VHP1400 include the Doosan Portable Power IQ System that strips moisture and other contaminants from the air. Contractors and rental houses will also appreciate the versatility of the DSN1414 High Volume Airend in the HP1600/VHP1400. This air end can deliver up to 1,600 cfm at 150 psi or 1,400 cfm at 200 psi. This range makes it well-suited for diverse applications that include abrasive sandblasting for large infrastructure projects and powering cluster drills for water wells and mining, in addition to pipe bursting. Buttons on the control panel allow owners to simply switch between two preset pressures. Clean air systems, including compressors, aftercoolers and water separation, enable contractors to precisely meet ISO standards for their particular industry.
