these rigs to be set up easily, accurately
and with maximum stability. The Simba
E-series can also carry Atlas Copco’s most
powerful rock drills.
Big benefits for Boltec
The Boltec member of the E-force family
takes safety and efficiency to a new level.
Its BUT 45 boom can be extended 2.5 m
and the feed by 600 mm, enabling the rig
to reach coverage areas of 12 m x 8 m in
one setup. Equipped with the new, faster
COP 1435 rock drill, this versatile and
robust unit can be used with a wide range
of bolt lengths and can also be adapted for
ground reinforcement applications. The first
E-force Boltec rig to be delivered is now
being successfully used by the Kemi mine
in Finland. This unit, Boltec EC EH-DH, is
both electrically and diesel powered.
New E-versions
With the launch of E-force, new rig versions
have also been added such as the
Boomer E1 C in a special diesel-hydraulic
version (DH) which can be used anywhere
such as in new mine projects where the
infrastructure is not yet in place.
All in all, the new E-force family offers
the most extensive range of options available
(the Boomer has no less than 25 feeds
and 60–85 standard options) and there is a
wide choice of rock drills ranging from
16–30 kW.
