Pit Viper 275 blasthole drills

Product description

The Pit Viper 275 rotary blasthole drill rig has become a mining industry staple, thanks to its proven performance and reliability. 

 

With a 34 ton (75,000 lbs) bit load capacity, the durable PV-275 is designed for adaptability - so it easily fits into any drilling operation. It was originally used primarily in coal overburden drilling due to the 311 kN (70,000 lbf) of pulldown it provides to a rotary tricone bit up to 270 mm (10-5/8 in). Today, the PV-275 has also expanded into hard rock applications such as copper and iron mines.

 

If technology, productivity, and long asset life with the lowest total cost of ownership are on your list of priorities, look no further than the Pit Viper series. Equipped with a standard Rig Control System (RCS) operating platform, the PV-275 sets the bar for efficiency. 

 

The standard RCS provides on-board automation capability as part of the standard drill package to help deliver safety and productivity. With RCS, you can run automation with an operator on board with options like auto drill and auto level, or you can run with the operator off the drill with the optional BenchREMOTE package, allowing one operator to run one or multiple units. With the RCS system on Pit Vipers, you can even achieve your ambition of fully autonomous drilling with almost no human interaction with the drill.
