❓ FAQ – Air Lance for Excavation
What pressure should be used for the air lance?
The recommended pressure is 7 to 8 bar to ensure optimal performance and durability.
What compressor is required?
A compressor delivering at least 105 CFM (≈ 3000 L/min) is required to fully utilize the lance’s performance.
Is it suitable for sensitive environments?
Yes. Thanks to its anti-spark nozzle and insulated fiberglass tube, it is suitable for hazardous environments (gas, electrical, ATEX conditions depending on regulations).
Can it be used to expose underground utilities?
Yes, this is its primary use. It allows precise exposure without damaging networks, unlike mechanical tools.
