Let’s talk electrification
Connect with a Sandvik specialist to explore how our iE Series can support your surface drilling needs.
Designed from the ground up.
The rotary iE series isn’t a diesel retrofit. Developed by the same Sandvik engineers who redefined underground mining, the iE series brings that innovation above ground. Designed specifically for the demands of surface mining, Sandvik’s fleet electrification delivers durability, precision, and zero-emissions operation.
With the intelligent systems like DRi control and a modular multi-voltage power pack, every component is engineered for productivity in the toughest surface conditions. Sandvik’s electrified rigs are built to go the distance without sacrificing penetration rate, hole accuracy, or uptime - so you can meet production targets while reducing your carbon footprint and maintenance cost.
You get the same performance you expect from Sandvik, built for the realities of surface mining.
Feature highlights:
- DRi control system
Gain real-time control, drilling accuracy, and full integration
capabilities with Sandvik’s AutoMine® ecosystem. - Multi-voltage, multi-frequency power pack
