Atlas Copco, a global leader in industrial solutions, has introduced the X-Air⁺ 1200-25, a revolutionary portable air compressor within its DrillAir series. This new model promises exceptional efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint, setting a new standard in deep drilling applications.
Engineered for industries such as construction, mining, and energy, the X-Air⁺ 1200-25 is built to meet the demands of the toughest applications. Featuring advanced sensors and remote monitoring, it enhances operational reliability and efficiency. This latest model offers a significant performance boost, completing jobs at least 10% faster than its predecessor.
Rajeev Sharma, Business Line Manager – Atlas Copco, Power Technique, stated, “The X-Air⁺ 1200-25 is a major leap forward in our commitment to providing cutting-edge compressed air solutions. With its enhanced performance and fuel efficiency, this compressor accelerates drilling operations while reducing fuel consumption, benefiting both our clients and the environment.”
The X-Air⁺ 1200-25 offers enhanced performance with several key features that set it apart in its class. It is the most fuel-efficient compressor available, delivering an 11% reduction in fuel consumption throughout the full drill cycle. Its adjustable pressure settings, ranging from 16 bar to 25 bar, make it highly versatile for various applications, ensuring optimal performance across different tasks.
In addition to fuel efficiency and pressure flexibility, the X-Air⁺ 1200-25 stands out for its speed, making it the fastest rig compressor available in India, which leads to quicker project completion. Equipped with Dynamic Flow technology, it optimizes air delivery based on real-time demands, further enhancing its performance. The compressor also features a robust, silent operation, with a durable canopy designed to minimize noise pollution, making it an ideal choice for environments where noise reduction is important.
The X-Air⁺ 1200-25 is versatile across various industries, including construction, where it excels in ground engineering and pipeline pressure testing, and mining, where it handles deep and blast-hole drilling with efficiency. It is also ideal for energy applications like geothermal drilling, offering an environmentally friendly and efficient solution. In water well drilling, it enables faster and deeper drilling, while in foundation drilling, its adjustable pressure and high efficiency help prevent soil cavitation and ensure stable foundations.
The X-Air⁺ 1200-25 integrates a new high-pressure element and proprietary software to enhance its durability and performance. The “pressure optimizer” feature automatically reduces fuel consumption during idle periods, saving up to 20% during non-load times. Combined with Atlas Copco’s patented XPR technology, this feature ensures the compressor handles geothermal and foundation drilling without causing soil cavitation.
This innovative technology optimizes airflow based on real-time demand, adjusting for maximum efficiency. By dynamically managing airflow, the X-Air⁺ 1200-25 reduces energy waste and ensures top performance, even in variable operational conditions.
