The new Boomer E10 and E20 from Epiroc offer flexibility thanks to their small footprint and multi-purpose BUT 45-booms.
The drill rigs are equipped with automation features that increase operator safety and productivity and come with an optional battery-electric driveline for reduced environmental impact and healthier underground conditions.
One of the major selling points is that the new equipment is suitable for mining and construction.
“This is yet another automation breakthrough for face drilling where Epiroc leads the way to safer and more productive mining and construction operations”, says Sami Niiranen, President at Epiroc’s Underground division.
With features like teleremote drilling, auto level and setup assist, Boomer E10 and E20 strengthen productivity and safety for operators. The optional teleremote drilling feature lets the operator work at a safe distance from the face and enables drilling during shift changes.
Both drill rigs provide operators with setup assistance. Thanks to the carrier being equipped with an advanced scanner measuring the distance to the walls and face, positioning the rig perfectly in the mine or tunnel becomes an easy task for the operator.
“In combination with digital drill plans, setup assist eliminates time-consuming repositioning. It also ensures both productivity and great quality”, says Camilla Spångberg.
In the comfortable and safe cabin, operators can enjoy low sound levels (<65 dbA), less vibration, and a new panel interface for tramming. In addition, excellent visibility and multi-functional joysticks ensure that operators always keep their eyes on tasks.
