Quill Falcon’s production team manufactured and deployed the first Electric Quill Falcon Cyclone 120 Complete, designed specifically for our customers working in confined spaces where diesel emissions are strictly off-limits. Designed to address a specific on-site challenge, the unit combines performance, safety and sustainability.
Understanding the challenge
A customer required blasting and breathing equipment for an underground car park with live offices above. This was a confined space where diesel emissions were not permitted. With environmental limitations in play, the client needed a compliant solution – and fast.
The solution
The Quill Falcon team developed the first Electric Cyclone 120 Complete for customers working in confined or hazardous environments where they have a need for combined blasting and air fed breathing apparatus but with zero diesel emissions.
The new Electric Cyclone 120 Complete is manufactured to compressed air breathing standard EN12021 and comprises of a Quill Falcon Cyclone 120 capable of removing up to 20m² of coatings per hour, a 177cfm electric compressor providing a reliable source of high purity air for up to 4 operatives, airline breathing apparatus including Scott RAS masks and airline breathing harnesses, reserve air supply in the unlikely event of main supply failure, a control panel for monitoring individual operatives air supply for use outside the enclosure and a large 115 litre water tank all mounted on a robust towable ball hitch trailer.
The electric compressor also meets ISO 3744 standards for sound pressure measurement, operating at just 62dB(A) at 10 metres, making it significantly quieter than diesel-powered alternatives. This makes it especially well-suited for noise-sensitive areas, such as near live office buildings or residential developments.
Why use an electric compressor?
By using an electric trailer-mounted compressor, the client chose a solution that’s better for the environment, more cost-efficient to operate and fully aligned with modern safety and sustainability standards.
