Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions introduces Sandvik’s DR413i, the fourth drill rig in its intelligent rotary blasthole range. It is described as ideal for iron ore and copper applications at altitudes up to approximately 15,000 feet (4,500 meters) and can drill a hole diameter range of 9 7/8 to 13 3/4 inches (250 to 349 millimeters). Its power pack is designed specifically to support high-altitude drilling without the need for an oversized rig.
Sandvik DR413i bridges a gap between Sandvik DR412i (8 to 12 1/4 inches, 203 to 311 millimeters) and Sandvik DR416i (10 5/8 to 16 inches, 270 to 406 millimeters). Customer feedback from those two models had a role in the development of Sandvik DR413i, the first unit has already been sold to a U.S. iron ore mine.
Dave Shellhammer, President of the Rotary Drilling Division at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions said, “Sandvik DR413i is powerful, productive and precise, and continues our long tradition of developing innovative technology to help drill-and-blast customers improve productivity and reduce cost. As demand for our intelligent rotary blasthole drills grows, this expansion of our range underpins our customer-centric approach.”
Sandvik DR413i delivers a single-pass capacity of 55.7 feet (17 meters) and 115,000-pound (52,160-kilogram) weight on bit. A traveling centralizer reduces pipe flex, producing cleaner, straighter holes. The rig is equipped with Performance iDrill and Navigation iDrill onboard automation solutions to increase accuracy and productivity. Sandvik DR413i is the company’s latest scalable automation solution: AutoMine® can extend onboard features to enable line-of-sight, control room or fully autonomous operation.
The new rig also supports customers’ sustainability needs. Intelligent system load management helps reduce carbon emissions and extend component life, improving operating costs. The compressor control system matches compressor volume to application, reducing fuel burn and resulting environmental impact while improving hole quality.
