Epiroc is a productivity partner in the mining and infrastructure industries, designing the COP M series of down-the-hole hammers as the lightest, fastest and most durable down-the-hole hammer ever. The manufacturer stated that bundling the COP M6, COP M7 and COP M8 with the Epiroc drill rig can ensure the maximum drilling speed and productivity for each hole diameter.
Since the launch of the M series product line in 2019, the COP M6 down-the-hole hammer has proven to be the best choice for the SmartROC D65 drilling rig-one of the latest products of Apato's high-quality surface crawler drilling rigs for quarrying and construction. Pairing SmartROC D65 with Apato’s COP M6 DTH hammer in flow (LF) mode can use higher pressure to achieve better penetration.
The M6 hammer can work at 425 psi (30 bar), while most down-the-hole hammers are designed to work at 350 psi (25 bar). Matching the air cylinder of the M6 hammer with the compressor configuration of the D65 ensures maximum performance and drilling efficiency. The result is a powerful drilling to increase productivity and reduce the cost per foot of drilling operations.
Epiroc's M series hammers are designed to adapt to different air pressures and volumes through simple component replacement. The two-in-one function makes the M series breaker compatible with various Apato or competitive drilling rigs, and can operate at most altitudes in almost any climate.
For drilling rigs like Epiroc DM45 or other machines that provide larger cfm but lower psi compressor units, such as the 1070/350 main engine, the M6 DTH hammer with high flow (HF) configuration can maximize the use of extra air. According to the manufacturer, the adjustable function of the M series electric hammers allows the operators of the mixed fleet to use one electric hammer flexibly to obtain the best productivity from any drilling rig in the fleet.
The COP M series of down-the-hole hammers have a unique air circulation, and the new bit design translates into higher performance. Empyrean drill bits are equipped with harder and tougher cemented carbide to ensure that they provide the best quality drilling tools under the most demanding conditions. COP M series drill bits are also designed to meet the needs of high penetration and durability. The new series of drills use tubeless solid tool holders, which can produce higher quality blast holes.
“SmartROC D65 is very suitable for Apato’s M-series down-the-hole hammers, making drilling operations productive while keeping fuel consumption and operating costs to a minimum. COP M-series hammers help to increase drilling speed with maximum air efficiency, thereby Lower fuel consumption and higher productivity than other drilling rigs. This means saving time and costs," said Delaney Erickson, Product Manager, Epiroc – DTH.
Pairing Apato drilling rigs with drilling tools can ensure improved drilling performance and return on investment. The SmartROC D65 down-the-hole drilling rig is specially designed to deal with the harshest conditions. The rig is equipped with smart features that can improve operations, increase safety, and increase productivity, and is constantly evolving to ensure that it increases production and profitability after shifts.
“The combination of the D65 drilling rig and M6 hammer has proven its performance in the harshest conditions and various applications in the world,” said Ron Hankins, Manager of the Empyrean Business Line-Surface and Exploration Drilling Equipment.
"Rig and hammer sets are very popular with customers who want to increase efficiency and productivity. It can be delivered even at a height of 9,000 feet."
