Professional Air Lance – Excavation & Utility Exposure

Power, precision and safety for your excavation work

The MABI professional air lance is designed for demanding applications such as pneumatic excavation, soil decompaction, and the safe exposure of sensitive underground utilities (gas, electricity, fiber).

Operating at an optimal pressure of 7 to 8 bar, it delivers a powerful airflow of up to 105 CFM (≈ 3000 L/min) at the nozzle, ensuring fast, precise, and non-destructive work around buried infrastructure.

❓ FAQ – Air Lance Excavation

What pressure should be used?

The recommended operating pressure is 7 to 8 bar to ensure optimal performance and durability.

What compressor is required?

A compressor capable of delivering at least 105 CFM (≈ 3000 L/min) is required to fully utilize the lance’s performance.

Is the air lance suitable for sensitive environments?

Yes. Thanks to its spark-resistant nozzle and fiberglass insulating tube, it is perfectly suited for high-risk environments (gas, electrical, ATEX under conditions).

Can it be used to expose underground utilities?

Yes, this is its primary application. It allows precise exposure without damaging utilities, unlike mechanical tools.
