A dedicated solution for drilling
Drill faster and drive down fuel costs. Looking for a high-pressure compressor for ground engineering, drill & blast, water well, or geothermal drilling applications? Atlas Copco’s high-pressure compressor range offers up to 1400 cfm and up to 508 psi. A wide flow and pressure range, with best-in-class fuel efficiency. Thanks to the intuitive controller, you are in full control of the pressure and flow; even from a distance.
At Atlas Copco, we know the drill when it comes to compressed air, whatever the flow or pressure. Our high-pressure compressor offers the perfect harmony between pressure and flow and puts you in full control of these parameters while saving fuel.
When it comes to efficient drilling, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all. Depending on the depth of the hole and the size of the hammer, the right compressor makes all the difference. Choose the right product for your core business and get the flexibility to adapt to changes in drilling depth and hammer size.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)
HDD is a trenchless technology that use surface-launched equipment to drill underground horizontally and install pipes, conduits, and cables. This process can be air-driven and are used in numerous industries, such as utilities and telecommunications, at sites in dense, urban areas and/or where traditional vertical excavations are too dangerous (e.g., under bodies of water).
Our Hi-Pressure Range of Compressors can power large-diameter and/or long-run HDD processes with high throughput. The power of these units maximizes the efficiency of drilling operations, lowering project overhead and decreasing downtime.
- Can be employed to install underground utilities
- Allows operators to drill horizontally controlling the direction of drill
- The compressor powers the hammer at the end of the drill and uses air to clear dirt and debris
Blast Hole Drilling
Our High-Pressure range provides one of the highest air volumes at one of the highest air pressures available in the portable compressor industry. This also makes these new compressors one of the most energy-efficient by having a very low specific fuel consumption for the air delivered.
Dynamic Flow Boost ® increases flow from 34.8 to 39m³/min (650l/s) when flushing and during drill stem refill. It means faster flushing, faster stem refill, and a shorter time to finish a well.
A high penetration rate with 35 bar pressure and 34.8m³/min (580l/s) flow means more meters drilled every day.
Mining and Quarrying Applications
The units were tested both in lab and field conditions to ensure optimal performance. It’s designed to withstand the toughest working conditions. The updated canopy is our toughest, most aesthetically pleasing canopy to date. The unit's body is corrosion-free and needs no painting or dent repair.
Whether in quarries or underground applications, we have a wide range of compressors with high flow, and pressure-ranges. Specially for underground applications: minimize ventilation costs by selecting one of our electric-driven mobile compressors; modified for our mining sector.
