Atlas Copco Launches X-Air 850-290 Mobile Compressor
30% fuel savings, 32% smaller footprint, and 13% lighter than 1000/1100 cfm class models
Atlas Copco’s X-Air 850-290 portable air compressor is a drilling unit that is ruggedly designed to meet the needs of the demanding coal mining and water well drilling segments. The X-Air 850-290 is dual pressure – 17 bar (246psi) and 20 bar (290psi), and principally truck or excavator-mounted. It is capable of powering water well drilling approx. from 600 to 800* feet (4.5-inch class) and at a very economical cost-per-foot.
Meanwhile, in coal mining applications it can power 6.5-inch class blasthole drilling at an economical cost. Compared to its contemporary, XR1000/1100, the X-Air 850-290 is remarkably lightweight – 13%* lighter, compact – 32%* smaller, and an incredible 30%* more fuel efficient. (*engineering parameters, subject to actual site conditions). And with its latest anti-vibration mounts the X-Air 850-290 only delivers good vibes!
With an operating window that stretches from temperatures ranging from freezing up to 55oC, the X-Air 850-290 enjoys a best-in-class canopy, advanced control electronics, and easy single-sided servicing. It is powered by a six-cylinder Ashok Leyland electronic diesel engine, which at normal shaft speeds delivers 233 kW of engine power.
Tony Van Herbruggen, General Manager, Power Technique, Atlas Copco India, commented, “The X-Air 850-290 is a game changing compressor that is specifically designed to meet the needs of the demanding coal mining and water well drilling sectors. Its compact dimensions, lighter weight, performance ability, and fuel efficiency – all combine to deliver great customer value. Its state-of-the-art digital controller and ease of maintenance contribute to a higher return on investment and lower service costs.”
