March 23, 2017 – M/s JMB Infra Sales & Services, the authorised distributor of Chicago Pneumatic portable compressors in Ranchi (Jharkhand), has marked the sale of its 75th CPS 500-175 portable compressor in a special handing over ceremony to one of its customers. Designed and manufactured in Pune, the efficient and robust CPS 500-175 was introduced to the Ranchi Region in July 2014. It accommodates drilling depths varying from 150 to 350 feet and is ideally suited for 4.75” bore water well drilling.

Mr S P Pandey, Business Head of M/s JMB Infra Sales & Services, explains why the CPS 500-175 has proved so popular: “Its mix of performance, value for money and serviceability is what has made this model so successful with our customers. The CPS500-175 has a clear edge over its competitors. It is superior in its class and offers the best economy and payback in the market.”

Mr Pandey continued: “We were encouraged to partner with Chicago Pneumatic, due to the trust and belief the brand has generated in the market during its 100 year plus history. Despite this, we were initially uncertain about how things would go. However, today, thanks to Chicago Pneumatic, we are a well-known and respected entity in the water well drilling market and have seen our business growth more than double since FY14-15. All credit goes to Chicago Pneumatic, which has had a huge impact in appreciating our market value.”

Barun Neogy, Business Line Manager, Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment, said: “We are delighted to mark the 75th sale of a CPS 500-175 portable compressor in the Ranchi Region. We’re also very pleased to have such a great partner in M/s JMB Infra Sales & Services, who are helping to raise awareness of our robust and efficient construction equipment portfolio.”

The CPS 500-175 is part of the Chicago Pneumatic range of single-stage, oil-injected, rotary screw portable compressors, which also includes the CPS 450-200, CPS 550-150 and CPS 650. The compressor elements within these high-pressure machines, which operate between 100 and 200 psi, are directly coupled to a state-of-the-art, water-cooled Ashok Leyland 6DTi engine.

The innovative engine/element combination within the CPS 500-175 portable compressor provides for higher efficiency and productivity, improving the average drilling rate per hour. The lightweight and compact compressor includes a number of features to enhance safety, and also offers impressive reductions in fuel/oil consumption per hour, maintenance costs and overall cost of ownership. These key benefits have made the CPS 500-175 very popular and successful in the Indian market.
