Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions says it is introducing a drilling performance upgrade package for the Sandvik DD210 narrow vein underground drill rig to help provide robust and efficient drilling controls.
Sandvik DD210 is a compact and versatile single-boom electro-hydraulic jumbo for tunneling and mining development in cross sections up to 24 sq.m. With its narrow vein carrier and compact telescopic drilling module, this drill is ideal for operations in confined areas, Sandvik claims.
Sandvik DD210 upgrade features the THC561 control system, which together with RDX5 rock drill, offers higher drilling performance, with a 15% gain in penetration rate when compared with the previous version. Operators can also enjoy extended component lifetime with reduced wear on the rock drill and rock tools, Sandvik says.
The upgraded version of Sandvik DD210 is more robust, featuring a new carrier while retaining the same versatility and mobility in confined tunnels. The new carrier offers better serviceability and maintenance from the ground level, plus improved safety for operators with options such as Access Protector and EU Stage V engine, according to the company.
The optional Narrow Vein package offers a boom fitted with double roll over and telescopic feed for face drilling, cross cutting, bolting or long hole applications.
