The CPS 11.0 and CPS 11-12 have EU compliant Stage IIIB Deutz engines and a new electronic control panel to make them easier to operate, monitor and service.

With the cleaner, more fuel efficient new engines, the 175-litre fuel tanks of the CPS 11.0 and CPS 11-12 compressors now lasts a full shift with constant running, it is claimed.

Target markets include drilling, blasting, road works and shotcrete pumping. The 12-bar variant is also suitable for special applications such as fibre optic cabling, with the higher working pressure enabling the CPS 11-12 compressor to push cabling through longer pipeline distances without incurring pressure loss, the manufacturer says.

A fully automatic step-less speed regulator also means the engine speed can be adapted to air demand.

Optional extras include a braked undercarriage with a fixed or height adjustable tow bar, a non-braked undercarriage with fixed tow bar, jockey wheel, leg support and several towing eye options.
