Atlas Copco is excited to be launching the X-Air 850-290
portable air compressor, a drilling focused unit that doesn鈥檛 so much improve on the standards of its contemporaries, as rewrite the rule book.
Ruggedly designed to meet the needs of the demanding coal mining and water well drilling segments, the X-Air 850-290 is dual pressure 鈥� 17 bar (246 psi) and 20 bar (290 psi), and principally truck or excavator-mounted. It is capable of powering water well drilling 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, the XR1000/1100, the X-Air 850-290 is remarkably lightweight 鈥� 13%* lighter, compact 鈥� 32%* smaller, and an incredible 30%* more fuel efficient. And thanks to the latest anti-vibration mounts, having the X-Air 850-290 on board only delivers good vibes.
With an operating window that stretches from temperatures from freezing up to 55oC, the X-Air 850-290 enjoys a best-in-class canopy, advanced control electronics and easy single-sided servicing.

Its state-of-the art digital controller and ease of maintenance contribute to a higher return on investment and lower service costs.鈥�
