Introduction: Compressed Air That Moves With You
The Kaeser M Series, part of the Mobilair line, is built for mobility without compromise. Whether you’re powering pneumatic tools on a construction site or supplying dry air to a remote fabrication bay, these compressors deliver consistent performance, low emissions, and rugged reliability. With models like the M44 and M50, Kaeser bridges the gap between portability and industrial-grade output.
Engineering Highlights: Built for the Field
🔹 SIGMA PROFILE Airend
Kaeser’s proprietary rotor geometry ensures high air delivery with reduced energy consumption—up to 13% more efficient than conventional designs.
🔹 Kubota Diesel Engine
- M44: Stage V-compliant, low-speed engine (max 2500 rpm)
- M50: Water-cooled, 4-cylinder engine with direct drive Both engines offer outstanding fuel efficiency and minimal emissions.
🔹 Sigma Control Smart
A user-friendly controller allows precise pressure adjustment in 0.1-bar increments, ideal for long hose runs and tool-specific calibration.
🔹 Anti-Frost Control
Standard on both models, this feature prevents freezing in pneumatic tools—critical for cold-weather operations.
Performance Snapshot
| Model | Free Air Delivery (mÂł/min) | Operating Pressure (bar) | Engine Type | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M44 | 4.1 | 6 – 7.5 | Kubota diesel | <750 |
| M50 | 5.0 | 7 | Kubota diesel | ~900 |
Real-World Use Case: Construction Site Deployment
On a construction site, the M44 powers pneumatic hammers and impact moles. Its compact chassis fits easily between scaffolding and tool bays, while the integrated generator supplies both compressed air and electrical power. The anti-frost system keeps tools operational during early morning shifts, and the low-noise enclosure allows communication without shouting.
Efficiency & Sustainability
- Stage V Emissions Compliance: Meets EU standards for low particulate output
- Fuel Efficiency: Optimized power management and low engine speed reduce diesel consumption
- Service-Friendly Design: Wide-opening enclosure and spin-on oil separator simplify maintenance
- Lightweight Mobility: Under 750 kg (M44), towable without a braked trailer
Strategic Fit for Mobile Operators
The M Series is ideal for:
- Construction crews needing portable compressed air
- Remote workshops and maintenance teams
- Operations requiring dual power (air + electricity)
- Cold-weather environments where tool freezing is a risk
