The DC 260 consists of a diesel engine/compressor unit, a chassis and a
mixing tank.
The compressor and mixing tank are mounted to a frame.
The frame is protected underneath from water and dirt and together
with the axle and the overrunning brake equipment, forms the chassis.

The compressor is powered by an oil-cooled diesel engine via a highperformance
coupling and supplies a steady fl ow of compressed air. The
diesel engine (DC 260/45) operates at a constant speed. The speed of
the turbo engine (DC 260/55) increases automatically to maximum while
the compressor is generating pressure and decreases to minimum when
pressure is not being generated.
The compressor uses a full load control system with 5 operating modes:
Start Pressure begins to build up in the compressed air tank when
the engine starts. The compressor runs at idling speed when
the pressure in the compressed air tank reaches 2 bar.
Loading Maximum pressure generated in the compressed air tank.
Unloading The system controls the air consumption according to the
air fl ow (100% or 0%).
Idling The compressed air tank keeps the air pressure at 2 bar. The
compressor runs under no load.
Stop The engine switches off and the compressed air tank is depressurised
via a relief valve.
