Company Says It Uses Half the Fuel of its Predecessor
Atlas Copco released the FlexiROC T45 tophammer surface drill rig, which it says uses half as much fuel as its predecessor, the ROC F9, using the same rock drill.
“Field testing has proven and our customers confirm that the FlexiROC T45 uses half as much fuel as its ROC F9 predecessor, using the same rock drill in similar rock conditions,” said Maurice Hunter, business line manager for the company’s Surface & Exploration Drilling Equipment area. “Additionally, the new rock drill COP 3060 mounted on a fixed boom with aluminum feed produces larger diameter holes using the T60 drill string with outstanding performance, reliability and mind-blowing fuel economy.”
