Air compressors are crucial in geothermal drilling. They power tools, clean boreholes, and remove debris. They also supply high-pressure air to the downhole hammer, which breaks up hard rock formations. Portable air compressors are essential for generating this high-pressure air.
Atlas Copco has launched a new compact and powerful DrillAir compressor, the X-Air+ 750-25, revolutionizing medium-depth drilling applications.
The X-Air+ 750-25 portable compressor delivers an impressive flow of 750 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a maximum pressure of 25 bar, surpassing its predecessor by over 10% efficiency.
It weighs under 3,500 kg, eliminating the need for heavy-duty trailers or low-loaders. This makes it a cost-effective option ideal for industries such as water well drilling, ground engineering, geothermal drilling, and foundation drilling.

This model offers flexibility with pressure ranging from 16 to 25 bar and a flow between 20 and 19 m³/min (350 and 320 l/s). Powered by a highly efficient 6.7-liter Cummins engine, it delivers toughness and power with half the size and weight of its predecessor (reduced from 5.5 tons to 3.5 tons), enhancing agility and versatility.
The X-Air⁺ 750-25 also boasts 10% better fuel efficiency than its predecessor. It is built with durable materials like high-strength steel and aluminum. The double axle provides extra stability and ease of transport.
The X-Air⁺ 750-25 features AirXpert technology, making it at least 10% more efficient than its predecessor. This technology adjusts operating settings automatically based on real-time flow needs, reducing fuel and energy consumption significantly.
Its dynamic flow boost functionality increases the flow rate during the drill stem’s flushing and filling, resulting in faster flushing, quicker stem re-fill, and reduced time to complete a borewell.
Every portable air compressor has a controller to optimize performance, and the X-Air⁺ 750-25 introduces the brand-new Xc2004. The Xc2004 features an intuitive interface, a future-ready design, advanced computing power, and enhanced connectivity, providing unparalleled efficiency for customers.
