Six success factors
1. The rig breaks into separate modules, each fitted with lifting points brackets and designed for heli-transport between remote drill sites.
2. Guards and interlocks keep the operator safe without reducing productivity.
3. The power unit is fitted with a Tier 4 Final/Stage V Cummins
diesel generating 149 kW (202 hp) at 2 200 rpm. It has a class-leading power-to-weight ratio.
4. Smart Control System offers the operator automated drilling. This
increases productivity and can dramatically increase the life of consumables.
5. Data from each hole is logged by the system and can be exported
into Exploration Manager. This software presents users with the ability to analyze data, find improvements and optimize drilling performance.
6. The rods are extracted by the head (pull-by-head), which offers increased automation and safety as well as boosting reliability.
