"Epiroc’s advanced technology enhances our customers’ operations by boosting productivity, and more importantly, by improving safety standards. We are proud to be at the forefront of accelerating the transformation to safer mining practices."
Increased performance and drilling time
The newly developed RHS 17 single-layer carousel ensures seamless rod handling. With the gripper arms placed inside the carousel, it can easily and quickly move the rods between the carousel and the drill center, significantly improving operation productivity and drilling performance.
“With the gripper arms placed inside the carousel, each rod handling can save more than 20 seconds, compared to the previous carousel model”, says Mikael Larslin, Global product manager – Production drilling at Epiroc’s Underground division.
Minimized transport height
“The new horseshoe drill unit frame provides great stability and robustness during drilling, and minimizes the transport height during transportation”, says Mikael Larslin. “This makes the Simba SM60 S an ideal rig in smaller drift mines”.
The Simba SM60 S has one of the lowest transport heights in Epiroc’s fleet of Simba production drill rigs. The new horseshoe-mounted drill unit frame and low-built drill unit are designed to be positioned at the very lowest point, placing the drill unit below the cabin roof at a height of 2.8 meters.
