Atlas Copco has launched X-Air 850-290 portable air compressor, designed to meet the needs of the demanding coal mining and water well drilling segments.
The new compressor “X-Air 850-290” is dual pressure – 17 bar (246psi) and 20 bar (290psi) — and is principally truck or excavator-mounted.
It is capable of powering water well drilling from 600 to 800 feet (4½ inch class) and at a very economical cost-per-foot. Meanwhile, in coal mining applications it can power 6½ inch class blast hole drilling at an economical cost.
Compared to its contemporary, the XR1000/1100, the X-Air 850-290 is 13 per cent lighter, 32 per cent smaller, and 30 per cent more fuel efficient.
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.
The X-Air 850-290 is powered by a six-cylinder Ashok Leyland electronic diesel engine, which at normal shaft speeds delivers 233 kW of engine power.
