Product Details

## Overview The Kaishan LGCY-19/21-21/18 is a heavy-duty portable diesel screw compressor designed for high-pressure, high-flow applications. With a free air delivery of 21 m³/min (approximately 740 CFM) at a working pressure of 18 bar (261 psi), it is ideal for deep-hole drilling, mining, and large-scale construction projects. The model number reflects its dual pressure capability: it can operate at either 19 m³/min @ 21 bar or 21 m³/min @ 18 bar, giving operators flexibility to match different job requirements. Built on Kaishan's proven two-stage screw air-end technology, this compressor delivers exceptional efficiency and reliability in the field. ## Technical Features The LGCY-19/21-21/18 is powered by a Cummins or Yuchai diesel engine, known for their durability and fuel economy. The two-stage compression system reduces heat load and improves volumetric efficiency, resulting in lower fuel consumption per cubic meter of air. The compressor features a heavy-duty filtration system to protect the air-end from dust and debris, extending service intervals. An advanced electronic control panel provides real-time monitoring of pressure, temperature, and engine parameters, with automatic shutdown protection. The unit is mounted on a rugged chassis with a towbar and brakes, allowing safe transportation at highway speeds. A large fuel tank ensures extended operation without refueling, and the enclosure is designed for easy access to all maintenance points. ## Applications This compressor is engineered for the most demanding industries. In mining, it powers DTH (down-the-hole) hammers for blast hole drilling, ensuring rapid penetration in hard rock. In construction, it supports pneumatic piling, rock bolting, and concrete spraying. For water well drilling, the high pressure and flow rate enable efficient operation of mud pumps and air hammers. Oil and gas exploration also benefits from its reliable performance in remote locations. Additionally, the LGCY-19/21-21/18 is used for sandblasting, pipeline testing, and emergency air supply. Its portability and robust design make it a versatile asset for any job site. ## Why Choose Kaishan Kaishan is a global leader in compressor manufacturing, with decades of experience and a reputation for quality.

Main Components

  • Two-stage screw air-end
  • Cummins or Yuchai diesel engine
  • Heavy-duty air intake filter
  • Oil cooler and aftercooler
  • Electronic control panel
  • Fuel tank
  • Battery and starting system
  • Towbar and chassis with brakes

Working Principle

The Kaishan LGCY-19/21-21/18 operates on the principle of positive displacement rotary screw compression. Air is drawn through a heavy-duty filter into the first-stage screw element, where it is compressed to an intermediate pressure. The air then passes through a cooling system before entering the second-stage screw element, where it is further compressed to the final working pressure. The two-stage design reduces thermal load and improves efficiency. The compressed air then flows through an aftercooler and moisture separator before exiting the discharge port. The screw elements are driven by a diesel engine via a coupling or gearbox. An electronic control unit monitors pressure, temperature, and engine speed, adjusting the intake valve to match air demand. This ensures stable output and minimizes fuel consumption. The oil circuit lubricates and seals the screws, and the oil is cooled and filtered for reuse. The entire system is mounted on a portable chassis, making it easy to move between job sites.
