Sandvik launched the DS512i rock bolter for 5-m-by-5-m size headings. It is equipped with a new carrier, high-frequency rock drill, control system and an ergonomic cabin. The rock bolter comes equipped with a Sandvik RD314 high-frequency rock drill and drilling control system that offers high levels of drilling performance, to include up to 35% higher penetration rates, the company reported. It can carry a 1,200-kg cement silo and features an automatic resin shooting and cement mixing system.
A FOPS/ROPS cabin comes standard and reduces noise, vibration and dust levels to improve visibility and comfort, the company reported. Intelligent control systems assist during drilling grouting and bolt tightening. The DS512i comes ready for Sandvik’s AutoMine fleet and information management system. The unit was developed based on a modularized concept targeting parts commonality and enabling lower levels of total cost of ownership, the company reported. Automation packages are available.
