DL422iE: Sandvik electric efficiency in underground drilling

Sandvik DL422iE is a fully automated, battery-powered top hammer longhole drill, designed for underground mass mining in 4 x 3.5 meters (H x W) or larger production drifts. It reduces emissions while tramming, creating a healthier and safer working environment.

Features

Zero emissions while tramming

DL422iE is equipped with an electric driveline system including a battery package and electric motor for zero emissions while tramming. It also helps reduce thermal load and ventilation requirements underground.
