Atlas Copco has introduced the latest addition to its DrillAir family of portable air compressors: the X-Air+ 800-20.

Building on the concept introduced with the X-Air+ 750-25 — delivering full air power in a significantly more compact canopy — the X-Air+ 800-20 combines higher flow at a practical pressure with a compact canopy. This makes transport and logistics easier without compromising performance, giving customers more choice for demanding applications like drilling and blasting.

With a focus on efficiency, the X-Air+ 800-20 delivers 11 percent greater fuel efficiency than its predecessor, ensuring a low total cost of ownership and optimized operations across the DrillAir range.

Higher Flow for Faster Operations

The X-Air+ 800-20 is optimized for jobs that operate comfortably at 20 bar, such as foundation drilling, abrasive blasting and pipeline services. By avoiding unnecessary ultra-high pressure, this model reduces energy consumption and wear, making it a cost-effective choice for customers who value speed and efficiency without over-specifying their equipment.

Delivering an impressive flow of up to 800 CFM, the X-Air+ 800-20 accelerates operations where air volume matters most, enabling faster project completion and improved productivity.

Compact Power, Intelligent Control

Like other DrillAir models, the X-Air+ 800-20 features a compact canopy design, cutting its footprint and weight significantly compared to its previous generation. This makes transportation and logistics easier while reducing warehousing costs for fleet owners.

At its core, the compressor is powered by a 6.7-liter Cummins engine, ensuring durability and performance in demanding environments, according to Atlas Copco. Combined with AirXpert technology, the unit automatically regulates operating parameters based on real-time flow requirements, delivering 11 percent greater efficiency and reducing fuel consumption during drilling operations.

The dynamic flow boost feature further enhances performance by increasing flow during the most demanding phases of drilling, such as flushing and drill stem refilling. This innovation ensures quicker borewell completion and streamlined operations.

To maximize operational control, the X-Air+ 800-20 comes equipped with the Xc2004 controller, an interface designed for intuitive operation and future-ready connectivity. With advanced computing power and enhanced monitoring capabilities, the Xc2004 helps customers unlock maximum efficiency and control in every application, according to Atlas Copco.

Designed for Demanding Environments

Engineered for reliability, the X-Air+ 800-20 is built to withstand tough job site conditions while maintaining consistent performance. Its compact design simplifies transport and setup, allowing customers to deploy high-performance air systems quickly and efficiently, according to Atlas Copco.

Customer-Centric Innovation

The X-Air+ 800-20 is designed to meet real-world needs by delivering higher flow at a practical pressure. This approach helps customers avoid unnecessary costs and complexity while improving efficiency and sustainability.

"The X-Air+ 800-20 is all about giving customers more of what they need — and less of what they don't," said Srijayan Iyer, product marketing manager of large air. "By combining higher flow with practical pressure, we've created a solution that maximizes efficiency and accelerates productivity across diverse applications."
