Sandvik will showcase some of its newest innovations in surface drilling, rock tools, stationary crushing and screening, and parts and services at Conexpo.

\n\n

The company will launch Ranger DX910i, its latest flagship top-hammer surface drill rig, together with new drilling tools. The shoulder-driven curved thread systems CT55 and CT67 increase productivity and reduce fuel consumption.

\n\n

The Ranger DX910i drill rig on display at Conexpo will be equipped with the new high-power rock drill RD930C, which expands the rig’s hole size range beyond existing DXi rock drill options.

\n\n

In addition, Sandvik will exhibit its electric concept surface drill rig, which demonstrates advanced technologies that will be featured on future Sandvik surface rigs to support more sustainable and energy-efficient drilling. Other products will include the Leopard DI650i, a surface drill simulator and the RockPulse system for optimising Ranger drilling results.

\n\n

Sandvik’s latest rock tools offerings will consist of Tundo RH650 down-the-hole hammer, Sandvik Alpha 340 top-hammer drilling tools, which feature an entirely new asymmetric thread, as well as LT90 top-hammer drilling tools. The company will also highlight its Carbide Recycling Program for recycling customers’ worn carbide tools, improving sustainability across the value chain.

\n\n

The technologically advanced Sandvik CH865i mid-range cone crusher will anchor the stationary crushing and screening display, which will also feature SAM by Sandvik, the ever-evolving ‘always on’ digital assistant to support operational excellence in crushing and screening plants, as well as the next generation Sandvik Automation and Connectivity System (ACS-c 4.3) for optimising crusher performance. Furthermore, the Sandvik CV217 vertical shaft impact (VSI) crusher will be available, along with a screening media and wear protection.

\n\n

Sandvik’s parts and services exhibit will feature an interactive display introducing My Sandvik Productivity for Boom Drills, a telematics solution providing easy-to-read dashboards for faster, fact-based decision making. Visitors will experience a live demo of Sandvik’s Expert Off-Site, an on-demand web-based service that instantly connects customers with Sandvik experts remotely, minimising downtime costs typically associated with waiting for technical support. Plus, the company will highlight its extended warranty solutions and comprehensive equipment rental offering.

Epiroc recently announced that it has agreed with Swedish construction company Skanska to field test the world’s first battery-electric drill rig for surface operations. This trial is a milestone in the journey towards zero-emission drilling in surface mines and quarries around the world.

\n\n

The design of the new machine is based on Epiroc’s SmartROC T35 surface drill rig, which is aimed to enhance the environmental standards of quarries and larger construction sites. In addition to zero emissions in operations, the rig comes with a range of smart features, options and enhanced automation solutions for optimal safety, reliability and performance.

\n\n

Skanska will test the rig at a quarry near Stockholm, Sweden. The machine, manufactured in Örebro, Sweden, is scheduled to arrive at the quarry in September. Epiroc will announce later when the SmartROC T35 E will be available on the market.

\n\n

“Epiroc has bold sustainability targets in place for the year 2030,” said Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s president and CEO. “With the SmartROC T35 E we are taking a large step towards reaching our promise to offer a full range of emissions-free products for quarries and large construction applications.”

\n\n

“A milestone has been reached and a new opportunity has come to reduce our climate impact,” said Johan Eliasson, project manager at Skanska Industrial Solutions AB. “I am very happy about the long collaboration between Epiroc and Skanska, and it is exciting to be able to do this project together.

\n\n

“Both companies have set bold environmental goals – this project really takes a great step towards Skanska’s goal of being completely climate neutral by 2045, which is an important part of our promise to build a better society.”

\n\n

Epiroc said its battery-electric solutions are attracting strong interest from the market. Customers’ benefits include emissions-free operations, lower noise pollution and vibrations, and higher productivity.

\n\n

The machines play a vital role in Epiroc’s ambitious sustainability goals for 2030, which include halving the CO2e emissions in operations and from sold products. In 2021, the goals were validated by the Science Backed Targets initiative as being in line with keeping global warming at a maximum 1.5° C, consistent with the latest climate science and the goal of the Paris Climate Agreement.

\n\n

Epiroc plans to offer its complete fleet of underground mining equipment as battery-electric versions by 2025, and its full fleet for surface operations as battery-powered versions by 2030.
