Reduced drilling costs

The DrillAir compressors provide with working pressure up to 40 bar, allowing you to drill more meters per hour at a lower overall cost per meter.

Additional 10 % flow

With Dynamic Flow Boost you can reach faster flushing and refilling. And that means shorter time to complete the drilling job.

Save on transportation

Compact and portable design - one truck can carry both a compressor and a drilling rig thanks to the short 4.1 meter compressor frame.

High pressure portable compressors - a dedicated solution for drilling

With Atlas Copco's DrillAir compressors, you have all the features you need to drill faster and increase your profitability. Efficient drilling requires the right equipment adapted to the specific project. The DrillAir range allows you to choose the compressor that is perfectly tailored to your core business, while providing the flexibility to adapt to any custom application.

Better performance with Dynamic Flow Boost

This technology provides with additional 10 % of air flow during specific operations such as flushing and drill stem refill. This results in faster flushing and quicker drill stem refill times, reducing the total time required to complete a drilling project. By optimizing these processes, Dynamic Flow Boost helps achieve higher productivity and lower operational costs, making it a valuable feature for businesses focused on maximizing efficiency and performance in drilling operations.

More versatility with Extended Pressure Range (XPR)

Patented XPR technology allows to adjust working pressure of DrillAir compressors downwards. By enabling a broad pressure range, the technology helps prevent soil cavitation during overburden drilling and allows for deeper and faster drilling operations. This versatility in pressure settings ensures that the same compressor can be used for multiple tasks, optimizing operational efficiency, and reducing the need for multiple machines.

AirXpert - performance management system

This intelligent system helps optimize compressor performance by adjusting parameters based on real-time data. This ensures an immediate response to changes in air flow or pressure and ensures the machine operates at maximum efficiency. You can set the flow or pressure and your compressor will automatically adjust the other parameter.

Smart controller with user-friendly interface

The controller features the latest innovations. We believe a controller should give you complete control while being intuitive and, most importantly, easy to use and navigate. Continuous monitoring of critical parameters allows for proactive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of the equipment. It also allows for remote monitoring and control.
