Epiroc wins large mining equipment order in Sweden

including battery and automation solutions
Stockholm, Sweden: Epiroc, a leading productivity and sustainability partner for the mining
and infrastructure industries, has won a large order from Boliden for mining equipment,
including battery-electric and automation solutions, for use at some of the company’s
underground mines in Sweden.
Boliden, one of Europe’s largest mining companies, has ordered battery-electric versions of the
Boomer face drilling rig, Boltec rock bolting rig, and Epiroc’s largest automated Scooptram loader
ST18 with Batteries as a Service. The ordered equipment also includes, among other machines, the
Easer raise boring rig and Epiroc’s newest production and face drilling rigs Simba and Boomer in
the E-series.
The order is valued at more than MSEK 100 and was booked in the second quarter 2022.
“Boliden is focused on making its operations as safe, sustainable, and productive as possible and to
produce metals with a low carbon footprint, and we are proud to support them on this journey,” says
Epiroc’s President and CEO Helena Hedblom.
The machines will be used at the Rävliden Kristineberg and Renström mine sites in northern
Sweden. Boliden is mining zinc, copper, lead, gold, silver and tellurium at the mines.
The Simba production drilling rig and the battery-electric loader Scooptram ST18 will be equipped
with the 6th Sense solutions Simba Automation and Scooptram Automation. This will enable
operators to control the machines remotely from the comfort of a control room. All units will be
equipped with Epiroc’s telematics system, which allows for intelligent monitoring of machine
performance and productivity in real-time.

Epiroc’s largest loader Scooptram ST18 with automation and battery is part of the order by Boliden
