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.
