The SmartROC C50 is one of the fastest, safest, and most efficient drill rigs available on the market. The well-known surface drill rig is a favored choice for contractors and mining customers who require both raw power and precision. This is due to the COPROD technology, which offers a unique combination of precision and optimal blasting results.

“We have fine-tuned and improved an already existing top-class surface drill rig. The new generation of the SmartROC C50 will be beneficial to mining and quarrying operations all around the globe”, says Ulf Gyllander, Global Product Manager, Epiroc Surface division.

The new generation of SmartROC C50 is now fitted with an updated Rig Control System (RCS), which improves fuel efficiency by up to 5 %. The smart RCS system constantly monitors compressor load and keeps track of engine RPM to ensure no fuel is wasted and that environmental impact is kept to a minimum.

“Using less fuel has a big impact on cost savings – and the SmartROC C50 offers the lowest fuel consumption on the market”, says Ulf Gyllander, Global Product Manager at Epiroc.

The new generation of SmartROC C50 is also equipped with a new easy-to-use touch-screen, which includes an updated graphical interface. The screen provides valuable information – and presents data such as Measure While Drilling to the operator. The updated system will optimize workflow and make it even more easy to navigate. Additionally, the enhanced automation reduces the demands placed on the operator.

The new display also assists with troubleshooting, by showing exactly where a problem is located so that downtime is kept to a minimum. The smart technology also boosts productivity thanks to more precise drilling and consistency in operations.

“The SmartROC C50 delivers improved blast-results. It will be beneficial throughout the operation – and the smart technology assists the operator every step of the way”, says Ulf Gyllander.
