Technically oil-free compressed air…

Kaeser expands its e-power range with M10E and M13E portable compressors

Powerful, lightweight, quiet, versatile, and easy to transport – these are what Kaeser New Zealand says are the standout features of the Mobilair M10E and M13E, the newest and smallest additions to Kaeser’s popular e-power range of portable compressors.

“Designed to meet smaller compressed air requirements wherever an electrical supply is available, these compressors are a game-changer for users across a range of industries,” says the company. 

The M10E and M13E are ideal for users who need a reliable and efficient portable compressor. With an air delivery volume of 1.2m³ per minute at 7-bar, the Mobilair M13E can easily power pneumatic hammers, saws, sewer robots, and impact moles. Additionally, the Mobilair M13E is available in 10-, 12-, 13-, and 15-bar pressure variants, making it suitable for various applications – from traditional hammer operations and blasting work to cable blowing and even as a temporary replacement in compressor rooms. 

“When paired with the Purpac F16 support frame, which includes a compressed air aftercooler and filter combination for the 1m3 class, users can benefit from technically oil-free compressed air, ideal for sensitive applications.”

Plug-and-play simplicity with flexible power options 

Equipped with a 7.5kW motor, the M13E can be plugged into a 400V three-phase socket with a 32A circuit breaker, ready for immediate operation.

For sites with limited power supply options – such as those powered by construction site distributors, generators, or external battery storage – the M10E, with its 5.5kW motor and slightly lower flow rate, is the perfect solution. It operates seamlessly on a 16A connection, significantly broadening its range of potential applications. 

Durable, quiet, and easy to transport 

All models feature a corrosion-resistant, soundproof enclosure made from rotation-sintered polyethylene, ensuring they are exceptionally quiet and highly durable. Their compact and lightweight design allows for easy transport in a delivery vehicle, or on the loading floor of a truck or ute, leaving the towing hitch free for other needs. 

For applications requiring cool, condensate-free compressed air, an external aftercooler can be installed in a support frame equipped with fixed connections for compressed air, condensate return, and electrical power (12V supply from the compressor). The aftercooler ensures any accumulated condensate is collected in a canister within the compressor for professional disposal. 

User-friendly design for easy maintenance and handling 

“The M10E and M13E are designed with the user in mind, offering exceptional ease of maintenance and handling. Their manoeuvrability on-site is enhanced by a long handle, rugged wheels with pneumatic tyres, four convenient lifting-lugs, and a countersunk crane eye. Maintenance is a breeze with all service points easily accessible via the wide-opening sound enclosure.”
