HDD is a trenchless technology that uses 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). 

Compressors in the DrillAir line 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 deployed to install underground utilities.
• Allows operators to drill horizontally controlling the direction of the drill
• The compressor powers the hammer at the end of the drill and uses air to clear dirt and debris

The DrillAir 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.

High penetration rate with 35 bar pressure and 34.8m³/min (580l/s) flow means more meters drilled every day.

The units were tested both in lab and field conditions to ensure optimal performance. It’s designed to withstand the toughest working conditions. We have a mobile compressor for any indoor or outdoor application. On top of peace of mind, you'll also gain low noise levels, small footprint, fuel efficiency or zero diesel emissions, high resale value, easy to use and intuitive controllers... and much more.

Reduced service intervention and longer life of consumables reduce the total cost of operation and increase availability.
