Western Air has been pioneering world class high pressure portable air solutions, packaging compressors and boosters for deep mineral exploration since 1976, designing and manufacturing the most reliable, durable and safest products on the market.Powering exploration, Western Air's products are custom-built to suit the unique requirements of drilling rig operations, unearthing future growth opportunities for the world's mineral exploration, oil and gas industries. Mining exploration is critical to Australia, as the nation seeks to tap into its rich veins of resources. However, to obtain core samples, explorers must use high pressure air compressors to enable drills to reach great depths. In Australia's harsh conditions, where it can be difficult to drill through dense rock to obtain core samples, Western Air's compressors facilitate and expedite extraction. Western Air's custom-built, high-pressure air compressors, generators and booster compressors also enable mineral exploration companies to drill in a safe environment at a faster rate, saving time and reducing overhead costs. The company's innovation and technology is recognized internationally, with its equipment being used from South America to South Africa.In May, Western Air became the first private company to partner with the South Australian Drill Core Library at the Tonsley Innovation Hub, creating synergies with businesses, innovators based at the site and organizations accessing 130 years of core sampling.
