D245S
blasthole drill
The Sandvik D245S is a diesel powered, self-propelled
crawler mounted blasthole drill for mining. This production
drill comes with a low-pressure power group for rotary
drilling. It drills 127 to 203 mm (5" to 8") diameter holes
to depths up to 45 m (148'). Single pass capability is 8,65
m (28' 5"). The maximum pulldown of 185 kN/41500 lb
(bit load 209 kN/47000 lb) makes the machine suitable
to rotary drilling in medium hard rock conditions like
those found in coal, copper and gold mines. With optional
high-pressure air, it becomes exceptionally versatile, for
both rotary and hammer drilling. The D245S delivers
the most performance from a compact production drill.
