KYLC18-18CY diesel portable screw air compressor delivers 18m³/min at 18 bar. Designed for water well drilling, mining exploration, quarrying, and small DTH drilling rigs. Compact design, stable performance, Cummins/Yuchai engine options. Factory direct supply.
The KYLC18-18CY is a compact and efficient diesel portable screw air compressor designed for light to medium drilling applications. With 18m³/min air delivery and 18 bar working pressure, it provides a stable and reliable air source for small DTH drilling rigs, water well drilling equipment, quarry drilling, and mining exploration projects.
Equipped with a two-stage oil-cooled screw compression system, the compressor ensures stable pressure output, low fuel consumption, and long service life. Its diesel-driven design allows full operation in remote areas without electricity, making it ideal for mobile drilling teams and field operations.
This model is widely used in Africa and South America for shallow to medium-depth drilling projects where mobility, efficiency, and low operating cost are key requirements.

1. Shallow to Medium Water Well Drilling (100–200m)
Suitable for agricultural irrigation wells, rural water supply systems, and small municipal water projects using light DTH drilling rigs operating at 18 bar working pressure.
2. Small Mining Exploration Drilling
Widely used in mineral exploration projects and early-stage mining surveys where compact and mobile air supply is required for field drilling operations.
3. Quarry Auxiliary and Blast Hole Preparation Drilling
Ideal for small quarry operations requiring auxiliary drilling, sample drilling, and pre-blasting preparation in granite, limestone, and aggregate extraction sites.
4. Construction and Foundation Engineering
Used in anchoring, micropile drilling, slope stabilization, and light infrastructure foundation reinforcement projects in construction environments.
5. Mobile Field Drilling Operations
Suitable for contractors who frequently move between job sites and require a compact, easy-to-transport air compressor system.
1. Compact Power for Light to Medium Drilling
With 18m³/min airflow and 18 bar pressure, the KYLC18-18CY is ideal for small drilling rigs and light DTH hammer applications, ensuring stable drilling performance in soft to medium rock formations.
2. Fuel-Efficient Diesel Drive System
The integrated diesel engine system provides strong power output with optimized fuel consumption, reducing operational costs during long-term drilling projects in remote areas.
3. Stable Two-Stage Screw Compression
The two-stage oil-cooled air end ensures smoother airflow, lower discharge temperature, and improved efficiency, making it suitable for continuous field drilling work.
4. Highly Mobile Trailer-Mounted Design
Compact structure and trailer-mounted chassis allow easy transportation between job sites, making it ideal for mobile drilling contractors and small exploration teams.
5. Multi-Light Pneumatic Equipment Operation (High Practical Value)
The KYLC18-18CY can also support multiple small pneumatic tools at the same time, such as up to 3–4 units of YT28/YT29 handheld rock drills, depending on working conditions and air line configuration. This makes it highly efficient for small mining teams, tunnel maintenance, and road construction projects where multiple operators work simultaneously.
Q1: What drilling equipment can KYLC-24-22CG support?
It is suitable for water well drilling rigs, DTH drilling rigs, blast hole drilling rigs, and quarry drilling machines requiring 22 bar working pressure.
Q2: Can this compressor be used for deep water well drilling?
Yes. It is commonly used for medium-depth water well drilling projects ranging from 150 to 500 meters depending on rig configuration and geology.
Q3: What DTH hammer sizes are compatible?
It can support common 4-inch, 5-inch, and part of 6-inch DTH hammers used in mining and water well drilling.
Q4: Is this suitable for African mining projects?
Yes. It is widely exported to African mining markets due to its durability, fuel efficiency, and stable performance in harsh environments.
Q5: Can engine configuration be customized?
Yes. We offer different diesel engine options including Cummins and Yuchai based on customer requirements and local service availability.
