Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions is introducing a drilling performance upgrade package for the Sandvik DD210 narrow vein underground drill rig – a compact and versatile single-boom electro-hydraulic jumbo for tunneling and mining development in cross sections up to 24 square meters.
The upgrade features the THC561 control system for robust and efficient drilling controls. The THC561 together with the RDX5 rock drill offers higher drilling performance, with a 15% gain in penetration rate when compared to the previous version, noted the OEM. Operators can also enjoy extended component lifetime with reduced wear on the rock drill and rock tools.
Sandvik said the upgraded version of the DD210 rig is more robust, featuring a new carrier while retaining the same versatility and mobility in confined tunnels. The new carrier offers better serviceability and maintenance from the ground level, plus improved safety for operators with options such as Access Protector and Stage V engine.
Furthermore, the optional Narrow Vein package offers a boom fitted with double roll over and telescopic feed for face drilling, cross cutting, bolting or long hole applications.
