 POWER GROUP MATCHED TO APPLICATION

Diesel engine
• CAT C27 652 kW (874 hp) @ 1800 rpm
• CAT C27 652 kW (874 hp) @ 1800 rpm, T4F
Compressor
• 56.6 m³/min (2000 scfm) @ 6,9 bar (100 psi)
• 41.0 m³/min (1450 scfm) @ 24.1 bar (350 psi)
OPTIMAL COOLING
• Standard coolers for -15ºC (5ºF) up to 54°C
(130°F) ambient rating
• Located away from drilling operation, resulting
in longer component life and higher availability
• L&M (Mesabi) available
• Open design for ease of
inspection and cleaning
MANEUVERABLE AND STABLE
• S35HD class mining undercarriage
• Drive power, 119 kW (160 hp) each
• 850 mm (33 1/2") pads
• Total reliability on difficult grades up to
37%

17% faster than competition = shorter cycle times

POWERFUL LIFT FOR STABILIZED LOAD
• Three jack leveling system for
machine stability with mast raised is
standard
• 1220 mm (48") stroke standard
• 762 mm (30") pads
• Lift capacity each 426 kN (96,000 lbf)
• Four jack optional
• Auto-level optional

Jack tubes are welded to the frame

instead of bolting, for extra strength
TOTALLY RELIABLE
• Years of service confirm the staying
power globally
• Industry leading Sullair® compressors
• Best in class use of hard piping for
hydraulics in mast reduces downtime
due to leaks
• Stainless steel enclosures for added
electrical system terminals protection

20% Greater rotary torque vs.

competition = increased productivity
CHAIN FEED
LOWER DOWNTIME, CONSISTENT RESULTS
• Chain is firmer than cable
− It doesn’t bounce while drilling
− More consistent penetration rate
− Less deviation created.
− Less stress on rotary head
• Cable has to be tensioned manually every
700 to 1000 hours and can take up to half
a day to do so
“Bouncing created by the cable causes the rotary head to deviate
and lose structural integrity due to the loosening of bolts causing
issues with inaccurate drilling and oil leakage” – Customer
statement on cable feed
EASY DRILL SET-UP
EQUALS MORE HOLES PER SHIFT
• Flexible undercarriage delivers top
slewing power for faster move and set-
up
• Ease of jack operation speeds leveling
of machine
• Fast set-up and lowering of mast
