Blasthole Drills
What We Offer
Blasthole drilling is a process which is important to the overall mining activity. It allows access to some of the hardest places to penetrate. However, getting the best results is invariably tied to using the best equipment. In that regard, we step in with our unique offer of blasthole drills. These are guaranteed to give the best results no matter the terrain where it is used.
All-round Functionality
One of the foremost problems of mining is getting pieces of equipment that are not choosy in terms of terrain. To save costs and derive the best, it is important to have rugged hardware that won’t fail. Our blasthole drills at Komatsu are able to work under severe environments and boreholes through unyielding rocks. Customers will find that while in use, the equipment we manufacture are hardliners and do not break down easily. Purchasing our equipment will save you costs that would otherwise be incurred by repairs and maintenance.
Operator Protection And Visibility
Similarly, Komatsu drills do not merely focus on the commercial ends; we are also particular about the people operating our equipment. To ensure that there are minimal safety problems, our blasthole drills are fitted with measures to protect the operator from harm.
The cab is enclosed by Level II shatter-resistant glass to keep the driver shielded from shards and other elements of tough mining conditions. The operator also has a premium view of the mining area from all ends. Onboard, there are cameras which provide extra visibility and, as such, heighten awareness. On the matter of controls, each of the steering pieces have been positioned so that the operator can access them easily.
Pulldown
In line with our low maintenance costs policy, parts of the equipment such as the rack-and-pinion pulldown are designed to make fewer components that are susceptible to wear. This enhances consistency in the use of the machine. The rotary carriages are equally very powerful and are effective at penetrating extremely hard rocks.
Propel
Komatsu blasthole drills are highly capable of operating in diverse terrains. These include those which have a particular toughness to them. The mainframes and crawler components that drive mobility have been worked to perform in austere conditions. They will fare well under some of the most adverse mining circumstances. The propelling quality is guaranteed to deliver a high level of maneuverability as well as a quick and efficient setup.
Extremities
To keep you from being deterred by a tough mining environment, we have constructed our machines to be just the perfect cavalry. We have options that will make the drills suitable for the different conditions they will be required to operate in.
In Arctic environments, we can equip your drill with heaters and necessary insulation to keep the equipment functional and at optimal performance. The operator is also not exempted as protective measures exist for them too. In cases where mining will be taking place at especially high altitudes, the drills have the power to deliver maximum degrees of productivity.
