Doosan PA536
‘We have had the Doosan PA536ATC compressor in use drilling large diameter service holes for Oz Minerals. The compressor’s compact size has allowed for ease of movement between holes and the performance and fuel usage has been exceptional. Our drillers have found the unit reliable and simple to use’
- Brett Johns, Operations Manager
Frontline Drilling
"Western Air and their products are a breath of fresh air in an industry where after sales support is
paramount.
When looking to purchase two new compressors having had IR’s and Sullair’s before, it was an easy
decision to make. Our key factor wasn’t price but support and reliability.
Gary and his team at Western Air tick all the boxes. Support, reliability, availability of new machines
and parts, a can-do attitude and price.
Thanks, Gary, for your constant endeavour to keep your customers 100% satisfied which
unfortunately today has become a dying trait”.
- Xavier Martinez, Operations Director at Frontline Drilling
Bullion Drilling
Bullion Drilling has being using Western Air/Doosan products for approximately 20 years. To say that
they are dependable is an understatement - downtime of critical equipment is costly so minimising
this is a core belief at Bullion Drilling.
The Doosan compressors + Western Air boosters we use have been a stable part of our drilling
business and have always been fit for purpose and well manufactured, I don’t think Bullion Drilling
would be where it is today without the year in year out reliability of this equipment. Back up and
service is impeccable, and their can-do attitude to supply hard to source parts and consumables is
second to none.
- Paul Scanlon, Owner at Bullion Drilling
