Powerful partnership crushes operational challenges
Maa Kripa Stone Crusher boost quarry efficiency with Chicago Pneumatic portable compressors
IN the blistering heat of Rajasthan, where temperatures soar past 45°C and machinery is pushed to its limits, one quarry stands out for its relentless productivity. At the heart of this success is a powerful partnership between Maa Kripa Stone Crusher and Chicago Pneumatic’s rugged portable air compressors.
Since 2004, Maa Kripa have built a reputation for dependable quarry operations. Located on Nasirabad Road in Ajmer, their stone crushing and granite mining activities have supported the construction industry by extracting valuable materials from the Blue Stone Quarry and Granite Mines.
Rajasthan’s arid landscape and rugged terrain pose significant challenges for quarrying. To meet these operational demands, Maa Kripa invested in three Chicago Pneumatic portable air compressors – two CPS 450-200 and one CPS 550-200 – through authorized dealers R.K. Pneumatics. This strategic choice has enabled them to maintain high productivity in extreme heat while improving fuel efficiency by 12% in remote locations.
‘In our line of work, equipment downtime is costly. We needed equipment that could withstand extreme operating conditions while delivering consistent performance for our drilling and blasting operations. With Chicago Pneumatic, we’ve seen up to 20% higher drilling output per hour and energy savings of up to 24% compared with our previous model,’ said Pradeep Goel, owner of Maa Kripa.
The CPS 450-200 and CPS 550-200 provide a broad pressure range of 12–14 bar (175–200 psi), ideal for quarrying, mining, and construction applications requiring high airflow and dependable performance. Their robust thermal management systems ensure consistent performance, as observed during peak summer temperatures of 45–50°C (113–122°F) in field tests.
‘Our portable air compressors enable Maa Kripa to maintain high productivity and reliability in demanding quarry environments, while reducing average diesel consumption by up to 12%,’ commented Jayesh Kashyap, business line manager at Chicago Pneumatic India.
The relationship with R.K. Pneumatics has proven instrumental in Maa Kripa’s success. Operating in remote quarry locations often means limited access to technical support, making dealer reliability crucial for sustained operations. R.K. Pneumatics’ commitment to providing comprehensive service support, even in challenging locations, ensures minimal downtime and maximum efficiency.
This partnership extends beyond equipment supply to include preventive maintenance programmes, rapid response technical support, and genuine parts availability. Such comprehensive support allows Maa Kripa to focus on their core mining operations while trusting that their compressed air systems will perform when needed most.
‘At R.K. Pneumatics, we don’t just deliver equipment, we deliver confidence. Chicago Pneumatic portable air compressors have consistently proven their reliability in the field, and we’re proud to support Maa Kripa with solutions that truly match the demands of their environment,’ said Naval Gaur, owner of R.K. Pneumatics.
With CPS 450-200 and CPS 550-200 compressors at the heart of their quarry operations, Maa Kripa continue to thrive, setting new standards in productivity and efficiency. In a region where environmental conditions are as demanding as the work itself, the company is pushing the boundaries of performance, with the combination of robust equipment, fuel efficiency, and comprehensive support enabling an operational model that withstands the region’s toughest conditions.
