Narrow drifts with low roofs and extensive tramming adds up to a tough environment for miners as well as equipment. The new single-boom drill rig from Atlas Copco can take it in its stride – and provide added comfort for operators.

Drilling noise is a major source of irritation, not only for drill rig operators and others on the worksite but also to people living in the area and passers-by. Now the noise generated by drilling has been reduced to a new low level thanks to Atlas Copco’s latest drill rig silence kit.

The SmartROC D65 surface drill rig from Atlas Copco has been upgraded to enable direct communication with the rig’s control system. This includes transferring drill plans to the rig and receiving drilling data log files.
