Tophammer Rig is Safe and Stable in Rough Terrain
Atlas Copco’s new FlexiROC T30 R radio remote control tophammer drill rig—designed for quarry or specialized, light-duty mine
applications—can be equipped with either a COP 1240 or COP
1640 drill for 2- to 3.5-in.-diameter holes. The standard hydraulic
carousel-type rod handling system uses 12-ft rods and can handle
up to four rods for a maximum drilling depth of 57 ft. The FlexiROC T30 R comes with an interim Tier
4 Cummins QSB4.5 turbo charged engine
providing improved diesel consumption
over its predecessor, the ROC D3 RRC. A
low center of gravity and high ground clearance provide mobility when working in
challenging terrain. The FlexiROC T30 R
can handle specialized tasks such as
installing self-drilling anchors, drilling
blastholes in hard rock and dimensional
stone quarrying. According to the company,
the rig’s extended boom coverage of 14 ft
through an 80° radius was designed to
save time and money by delivering more
holes from fewer set-ups. Radio remote
control comes standard, allowing the operator full control of drilling, tramming and
boom controls from a safe working distance
on confined sites or unstable terrain.
Automatic RPM reduction, adjustable fan
speeds and interim Tier 4 emissions offer
savings and improved efficiency.
