SALT LAKE CITY, March 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Boart Longyear
(www.BoartLongyear.com), the world's leading provider of integrated
drilling services, equipment and performance tooling, has expanded
their line of underground LM™ modular diamond drill rigs to include
the new LM110. Ideal for drilling deep holes, the LM110 is the most
powerful Boart Longyear underground diamond coring drill rig to
date.
Equipped with a 110-kilowatt power pack, the LM110 delivers up
to 33 percent more torque at the drill head than the LM90 — which
was previously Boart Longyear's most powerful underground diamond
drill rig. Also featuring a 128 kN feed frame, the LM110 provides
high pullback force and a fast rod-handling rate, which allows for
increased drilling productivity.
"Our underground drilling customers requested a drill that could
provide more torque at the drill head," said Justin Warren, senior product manager for Boart
Longyear. "The LM110 provides contractors with more power featuring
the proven technology of our LM line of drill rigs."
The LM series includes the LM30SS, LM55, LM75, LM90 and now the
LM110. The rigs range from small-compact to robust drills that use
an electronic control system. LM rigs provide reliable,
high-performance deep-hole drilling and are economical to own and
maintain because of their modular design.
The LM rigs are made up of five modular units: a power pack,
feed frame, rotation unit, foot clamp and controller. The
components can be interchanged to adapt to customer requirements as
their needs change.
"Because of the modular nature of the LM series, Boart Longyear
can provide the 110-kilowatt power pack as an upgrade kit to
customers that already own an LM series drill rig, providing a more
cost effective option than purchasing a complete new drill," added
Warren.
The LM110 can be outfitted with a rod handler and the Drill
Control Interface™ (DCi™) for enhanced safety, hands-free making or
breaking of joints, and semi-autonomous drilling.
