Core applications

Where compressed air does the work

Compressed air is one of mining’s original power sources — it produces no sparks, isn’t afraid of overload, carries no shock risk, and performs in high humidity, high temperature and heavy dust.

01

Drilling & Blasting

Heavy-duty rock drills and pneumatic tools used for material extraction are powered by high-pressure compressed air, providing an inherently safe medium to control explosives.

02

Material Handling

Pneumatic conveying is a widely used method of safely and efficiently transporting fine materials, such as coal dust, through complex pipe networks using compressed air.

03

Mineral Processing

Mineral processing relies on low-pressure blowers to produce bubbles for froth flotation — the technique used to separate valuable minerals from waste rock.

04

General Plant Air

Powers a vast array of pneumatic tools — from wrenches and saws to loaders — valued for their durability in harsh conditions.

Local industry

Swansea and compressed air

Swansea Air Compressor Servicing

Science and Technology

Swansea became a city in 1969 and since that time the industry in the area has become far more diversified. The Faculty of Science & Engineering at Swansea University is nationally and globally recognised as a centre of excellence and collaborates closely with many industrial sectors in the area.

The Materials Science Department is working with leading companies such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, GKN, Aston Martin and BASF. New coated metal products developed within the research centre are now being used by Tata Steel, General Electric and Tokyo Electric Power.

Why it matters for your air

Precision research and coating work demands certified air purity — we deliver and test to ISO 8573-1 Class 0.

Manufacturing

Huge investment has been made in recent years to make Swansea a hub for manufacturing excellence. Many global companies covering a wide range of sectors now have facilities in or near the city. Transportation equipment, machinery manufacturing, chemical manufacturing and electronics are just some of the key industrial sectors — all requiring clean, efficient compressed air as part of their industrial processes. Some also require efficient gas generation such as nitrogen in order to manufacture their products.

Control Gear are experts in helping to keep this equipment running as efficiently as possible. We offer a full range of service and maintenance plans to suit the customer’s requirements — from a simple call-out to a more comprehensive service plan.

Why it matters for your air

Continuous production can’t wait for a breakdown — fixed-price contracts and 24/7 cover keep lines running.

Local heritage

The Industrial Revolution’s cradle — and a global hub for tinplate and copper

Calling on Swansea’s history as a materials innovator, many multinationals locate in Swansea to collaborate with the university’s Materials Science Department. Often these echo the area’s history as the global centre for tinplating, working on coated products that enhance the durability and aesthetic qualities of the underlying metals.

Companies working in the area include big names like Airbus, Rolls-Royce, GKN, Aston Martin and BASF. As well as representing a range of industrial sectors, they all share a need for precision and quality. Whether it’s a passenger jet or chemicals used in household products, the quality of their compressed air can have a significant impact on their product.

As technology has improved, manufacturing tolerances often get smaller. Compressed air can be filtered to ensure it doesn’t contain impurities like particulates or water vapour that might affect industrial processes — or even to generate nitrogen, ensuring an unreactive atmosphere. Control Gear are experts in filtration, and work with many clients who rely on us to make sure their compressed air and nitrogen is as pure as possible.

FAQ · .c-accordion .c-accordion–faq · per page: copied onto each page

Common questions

Mining compressed air FAQs

Straight answers to the questions mining sites ask us most often.

What types of air compressor are used in mining operations?

Various types are used, each suited to specific tasks. Rotary screw compressors are commonly used for general plant air, while centrifugal compressors are ideal for high-volume, low-pressure applications like mine ventilation. Portable DrillAir units cover exploration and production drilling in the field.

Why is compressed air preferred over electric power underground?

Compressed air produces no sparks, isn’t afraid of overloading, and carries no danger of electric shock. It performs reliably in high humidity, high temperature and dusty environments — and helps improve underground ventilation at the same time.

Can you monitor our compressors remotely?

Yes. SMARTLINK real-time performance monitoring identifies trends and alerts you to impending maintenance issues before they become downtime — particularly valuable on remote or continuously operating sites.
