Epiroc has launched a new long feed version of the SmartROC C50 drill rig. The long feed enables this COPROD rig to deliver even more meters per shift by increasing drilling time and reducing rod changing time. Additionally, less rod changing reduces wear on consumables and helps lower fuel costs, making the machine even more cost effective.
The SmartROC C50 with a long feed can carry a 7.3 meter (24 ft) starter rod and 6 meter rods in the carousel, which increases the maximum hole depth to 37 meters (121 ft). There is also a significant increase in its single-pass capacity.
“We have taken this top class surface drill rig and made it even more appealing with this new long feed option. With its smart Rig Control System (RCS) and easy-to-use touch-screen, we are proud to call the SmartROC C50 a class-leading rig.”
