New generation surface drill rig launched
A new surface drill rig that offers increased fuel efficiency and high availability has been unveiled by Epiroc as part of its PowerROC range.
The new generation PowerROC T45 is equipped with the company’s control system designed to help decrease fuel consumption through the use of auto engine speed control.
“The PowerROC T45 MKII offers up to 40% lower fuel burn compared to the previous generation … [and] is the perfect choice for construction sites and aggregate, cement and limestone quarries,” says Epiroc senior product manager Masanori Kogushi.
The unit includes a 12-inch display that presents relevant data, monitors running status and offers additional operator assistance. Two one-touch lever controls help simplify and speed up rod changing and drilling. The system is designed to be easy to learn and to use. In addition, the drill rig features a modular, uncomplicated design aimed at simplifying servicing.
“Compared to the PowerROC T35 MKII, the PowerROC T45 MKII surface drill rig offers a big hole range, which is something many of our customers want. This PowerROC T45 MKII launch is therefore a natural step forward in our offering within the PowerROC family,” adds Kogushi.
The new generation PowerROC T45 is available with two engine options, namely Tier 3/Stage IIIA and Tier 4 Final/Stage 5.
