Hydraulic Drifters for Mining, Quarrying & Tunneling: Exploring the MHD100X, MHD100, and MHD1838HD+
Drilling rocks has always been the critical process in mining, quarrying, and tunneling operations. Whether it is an advance made underground, benches drilled at a quarry, or holes drilled to insert rock bolts, all depend upon a single machine working consistently: the hydraulic drifter. In contrast to the earlier pneumatic rock drillers, the hydraulic driller […]
Face Drilling to Long-Hole Drilling: 4 Applications Where MHD1838HD+ Excels
Underground mining and tunneling operations rarely call for a single type of drilling. From breaking new ground at the tunnel face to reaching deep ore bodies through long-hole patterns, the demands on a hydraulic drifter change constantly. This is exactly where the Mindrill MHD1838HD+ — engineered as an equivalent to the Epiroc COP 1838HD+ — […]
