Atlas Copco unveils X-Air⁺ 1200-40 compressor: redefining the drilling standards for portable air solutions

Atlas Copco has announced the launch of its X-Air⁺ 1200-40, the newest member of its DrillAir portfolio. This brand-new portable air compressor is designed to revolutionize deep drilling applications by offering faster drilling and a notably reduced carbon footprint.

Engineered with precision, the X-Air⁺ 1200-40 achieves at least a 10% enhancement in performance metrics over prior models. This enhancement helps users achieve significant savings in fuel and operational costs, while simultaneously reducing the environmental footprint of their activities.

The X-Air⁺ 1200-40 surpasses Atlas Copco's previous flagship drilling compressor, the Y35. The model boasts 15% more pressure and a 20% increase in drilling speed compared to the Y35. It features a new high-pressure element – to withstand even more tough operational conditions – and is protected by innovative patented software that ensures longer lifetime and durability. The new unit also introduces a patent-pending hammer protection functionality, allowing users to limit the flow to ideal hammer settings or unleash the full power of DrillAir as needed.

* Atlas Copco’s patented XPR technology extends the working pressure range downwards, preventing soil cavitation during overburden drilling, as well as enabling the same compressor to be used for both geothermal and foundation drilling.

Additionally, the X-Air⁺ 1200-40 comes equipped with new robust oil filters utilizing the latest fiber technology, ensuring optimal oil quality under higher pressures. Enhanced with a new array of sensors, this smart machine offers even more accurate remote monitoring and warnings, further improving operational efficiency and reliability.

Engineered for durability and versatility, the X-Air⁺ 1200-40 is ideal for a wide range of industries such as construction, mining, and energy. It is specifically designed to tackle the most challenging applications, including ground engineering, water well and geothermal drilling, and pipeline pressure testing.

The X-Air⁺ 1200-40 model aims to set new industry standard in deep drilling applications, enhancing productivity, reducing costs, and minimizing environmental impact.
