X-Air⁺ 750-25 heralds a new era in compact solutions for medium-depth drilling, by being fully flexible, between 16 and 25 bar pressure and a flow between 350 and 320 liters per second. 

Engineered with a highly efficient 6.7-liter Cummins engine, it offers toughness and power with half the footprint and weight of the predecessor, enhancing agility and versatility. 

At the heart of the unit’s performance is the AirXpert patented, automatic regulation technology that adjusts operating parameters based on real-time flow requirements. This leads to significant reductions in fuel and energy consumption and optimizes medium-depth drilling operations. 

The dynamic flow boost feature further optimizes performance by enhancing flow rates during drilling's most demanding phases, notably improving flushing and drill stem refilling. This innovation ensures a quicker, more efficient borewell completion process, streamlining operations and significantly cutting down project timelines. 

This X-Air⁺ model is tailored for a wide range of industries, offering robust and efficient solutions for construction, mining, and energy sectors. Additionally, the compressor's quiet operation; reliability; reduced maintenance costs; and logistical ease, due to its significantly reduced weight, simplify transportation and lowers warehousing costs for Atlas Copco fleet owners.
