XAS 88KD: Welcoming the 2024 Asian Winter Games and helping to upgrade Harbin roads

With the 2025 Asian Winter Games approaching, Harbin, the city of ice and snow, is taking on a new look to welcome the event. In order to ensure the smooth running of the Asian Winter Games, Harbin has also begun the intensive road maintenance work. Let's take a look at the Atlas Copco XAS 88KD in action.

In preparation for the Asian Winter Games Harbin Municipal Infrastructure Project is responsible for downtown pavement maintenance work, which is required to be completed by the end of October. This was a time-critical, task-heavy challenge, and the project required the use of an air compressor to generate compressed air to drive a pickaxe to carry out the pavement maintenance crushing work as well as the blowing of dust. In the face of this challenge, the contractor firmly chose Atlas Copco's 8 series compressors to fulfil this task, a trust that stems from decades of experience in the field.

Since 2016, the customer has been working with Atlas Copco to purchase new equipment, and now has 10 XAS 88KD trailer-mounted mobile air compressors, of which the longest-used one has been running for 7,200 hours, and its stable and reliable performance has provided a strong guarantee for the smooth implementation of the project. In this project, XAS 88KD trailer-mounted mobile air compressor helped the customer to complete the task successfully with its excellent performance and stability.

The compressor is mainly used for road crushing in urban areas, and the XAS 88KD trailer-mounted mobile compressor provides a comprehensive solution to meet the core requirements of environmental standards, high efficiency and ease of operation, etc. The XAS 88KD trailer-mounted mobile compressor is designed to meet the core requirements of environmental standards, high efficiency and ease of operation.

Equipped with a highly efficient integrated power source, the XAS 88KD is capable of delivering up to 5.0m³/min of aerodynamic power, enough to drive 3 air tools, ensuring the project's hourly construction efficiency. Meanwhile, its low-noise and low-fuel-consumption design also meets the requirements of environmental protection, adding a green touch to urban construction.

The stable and reliable performance of the XAS 88KD greatly reduces the failure rate, while the machine's maintenance intervals have been extended to once every 2 years, greatly reducing maintenance frequency and costs. In addition, the external design of the oil filter makes a maintenance time no more than 1 hour, further saving the time cost.

XAS 88KD trailer-mounted mobile air compressor has a compact structure with a 15% reduction in volume, making it easy to be towed and parked in transit. Meanwhile, the design of helmet box is not only beautiful and generous, which won the European Red Dot Design Award, but also has both robustness and durability, which is safe and eye-catching, strong and durable, suitable for the complex working conditions of road construction.

Equipped with Atlas Copco's new generation of air compressor heads, the XAS 88KD not only reduces air compressor fuel consumption by 12 per cent, but also features low noise and is more environmentally friendly. Its advantages of low fuel consumption, low maintenance cost and low failure rate can effectively reduce the total cost of ownership of air compressors and help customers succeed in the fierce market competition.
