Designed to meet the needs of the Driller, the StopeMate is a fully pneumatic tophammer longhole drill rig offering, increased productivity with decreased maintenance costs.
Compact enough to get into the tightest drilling situations, the StopeMate is designed for efficient dismantling, and reassembly for rapid transport into captive areas. Ideal for narrow vein mining, this drill is a simple low cost alternative.
Combining High Productivity and Performance with Low Cost and Low Maintenance
Drilling Versatility:
- Drop Raises
- Cable Bolting
- Fan Drilling
- Parallel Drilling
StopeMate's Design, Engineering and Field Testing Delivers
StopeMate draws upon and refines Boart Longyear's BCI 2 pneumatic drill. With over 180 BCI 2's delivered to customers worldwide since 1980, millions of feet of drilling and over a decade and a half of maintenance experience, Boart Longyear is ready to take this pioneering effort to the next level with the StopeMate.
THE GOAL : deliver high productivity drilling and
low cost in a compact package.
