Mining and tunnelling jumbos for drifting/face drilling

Epiroc’s face drilling rigs are used for blast hole drilling in underground mining and tunneling. The rigs are equipped with up to four booms, covering cross sections from 6 m² to 206 m². We offer rigs with our reliable Direct Control System, DCS, or with the computerized Rig Control System, RCS, to which different levels of automation may be added. An extensive range of rock drills is available from 16 kW to 40 kW of impact power.

Smart underground drilling

Real operational economy

Standard features like dual damping drills lengthen the lifetime of consumables, while the fast boom movement with great visibility maximize uptime.

Zero-emission battery solutions for underground drilling

We are the leaders within sustainability in mining through battery-electric, zero-emission equipment. With more than 75 000 operating hours, our proven battery offering and zero-emission underground fleet is expanding with the second generation in face drill rigs, loaders, mine trucks, production drill rigs and rock reinforcement. Our battery power-packs comply with CE standards and can be covered by a new battery service plan.

World leading automation solutions for face drill rigs

Boomer face drill rigs have a variety of automation features available. The Dynamic Tunneling package (DTP) is a software feature which lets the drill rig create custom made drill plans directly at the face of the tunnel. The rig operator downloads the tunnel contour to the drill rig together with a drill rule file, and the drill rig generates its own drill plans. This eliminates the need for going back and forth with drill plans between the office and the drill rig. The drill plan is created for the specific tunnel segment, which results in higher precision in the tunnel development. Certain products are customized by adding automated functions such as adding drill rods or changing drill bits. To maintain precision and safety, features like automatic leveling and drill stop protection are also integrated. Our Rig Control System (RCS) enables teleremote operation with a control panel that monitors local sensors and cameras. The operator can be located in a control room on safe distance from hazardous areas.
