Posted on 12 Jan 2016

“In response to requests from our customers around the world, upgrades have now been made making the new FlexiROC T20 R the best drill rig in its class of compact, radio remote controlled drill rigs.” says Product Manager Marcus Leü. Atlas Copco states that “a great deal of effort has been put in to make good use of the commonality between parts. This results in the use of well proven technology and quality components. For the customer this translates to a reliable drill rig with maximised uptime.”

A completely new rig control system that consists of electrical and hydraulic components as well as the Radio Remote Control (RRC) has been installed. By using well proven technology from drill rigs such as FlexiROC T25 R & T30 R, functionality and quality are assured, according to the company. Other examples of upgrades are; new cylinder feed (BMH 2000) in three different lengths, new reinforced drill steel support, new hose routing with three bulk-heads, new front facing feed holder and better service access. The new FlexiROC T20 R Mark II has now also been equipped with the COP 1435 rock drill. It has almost 30% higher impact energy and 30% higher rotation torque than the previous model. With an impact power of 14 kW together with smooth cylinder feed action, the drilling performance has increased by up to 40%.
