Drill & Blast
StopeMate™
Positioning System
Our drilling systems integrate advanced sensors, wireless telemetry, and 3D modeling tools to anticipate geological challenges, maximize equipment lifespan, and reduce non-productive time.
S36 ir Rock Drill
The driving force behind the StopeMate is the S36 Independent Rotation Pneumatic Rock Drill, a powerful 114 mm (4.49 in) diameter bore drifter-type drill designed for deep hole drilling. In favorable ground conditions, the S36 IR can drill 37 m (122 ft).
Fully Pneumatic Operation
Ideal for captive areas and narrow vein mining.
Modular design with efficient dismantling and reassembly
Modular design with efficient dismantling and reassembly
Consistent
High performance drilling regardless of varying operator skill levels or conditions. Decreased maintenance costs with routine maintenance being done in the stope and increased time between scheduled preventive maintenance.
Features
1. Compact and mobile
Able to tram through a 1.27 m x 1.9 m opening. Back height drilling can be as low as 2.44 m (8 ft). It can fit in most cages without disassembly. Fully pneumatic operation is ideal for captive areas.
3. Powerful and efficient
The Stopemate uses the S36 a powerful 114 mm (4.49 in) diameter bore drifter-type drill designed for deep hole drilling. The S36 can drill up to 37 m (122 ft) in ideal ground conditions.
2. Accuracy and flexibility
Optional Helac Positioning System delivers full 360° radius drilling with extreme accuracy. The Travers pivots more than 180° in tight spaces without ever moving the carrier. Capable of parallel drilling, ring drilling, service holes, drop raises, and cable bolting.
4. Modular
Efficient dismantling and re-assembly enables faster move times and increased productivity.
