Boart Longyear Releases Low-Noise Rock Drill for Mining
Drilling equipment update cuts noise levels by 6 decibels
Boart Longyear has introduced the S250-M3 rock drill, a product designed to minimize noise and vibration for operators.
“A drill operator stated that it was the first time he could feel his hands and feet after using a rock drill for a full shift,” said John Nielson, global product manager at Boart Longyear. “The S250-M3 reduces the noise level by 6 decibels, which results in half the noise.”
