SANDVIK-DI550

LEOPARD DI550 — DOWN-THE HOLE-DRILL RIG

Leopard DI550 diesel-powered, down-the-hole (DTH) drill has excellent mobility, a smaller footprint and the ability to serve multiple sites. It is a machine trusted by mining and construction companies, and contractors engaged in pre-split and regular production blasthole drilling.

With its 328 kW diesel engine and a 24.4 m³ compressor airflow at 24-bar pressure, it is a perfect match for the 5" DTH hammer. All power is fully utilized, translating into low energy consumption, low operating costs and top productivity. The rig performs efficiently and economically also with 4" and 6" hammers. On top of high performance and productivity, the machine offers a first class operator environment with solutions that enable seamless interaction of man and machine: the operator handles drilling and the automation takes care of all machine controls.

ADVANTAGES

– Perfect match for the 5" hammer
– First-rate fuel economy
– Low operation costs
– Modern and accurate control system
– Unobstructed component layout

THE BEST IN PRODUCTIVITY AND USER COMFORT
Businesses – large and medium-sized quarries and contractors in particular – constantly need to improve the productivity of their operations. This means that it is of the greatest importance to choose machines that do exactly the job they are supposed to – no more, no less. This is why our Leopard Series down-the-hole drill rigs are the perfect match for the job. Machines in the series are at their best in production drilling, quarry/mine development, presplitting and dewatering, and are suited to work at their maximum performance with Sandvik DTH hammers with a 3” to 6” hole size. The Leopard DI560 is also available with a 4” HP (high pressure) 30 bar DTH hammer for even greater productivity.

SCROOGE IN FUEL CONSUMPTION, UNSPARING IN DRILLED METERS
The careful alignment of power and hammer size makes these rigs uniquely productive, keeping fuel consumption and operating costs as low as possible. Cost-effective machine performance is further enhanced by other advanced features such as load sensing compressor pressure control, active diesel RPM control, optimized diesel RPM level during drilling, and ambient oil cooler fan control.

SEAMLESS COOPERATION BETWEEN MAN AND MACHINE
On top of high performance, the Leopard Series guarantees simple and comfortable machine operation. Featuring a modern, accurate control system with simple icon displays, the Leopard Series enables seamless cooperation of man and machine. The operator handles the drilling and the automation takes care of all machine controls.

The modern, over pressurized and ROPS- and FOPS-certified cabin, with first-rate ergonomics, efficient filtration for incoming and recirculating air, and excellent visibility – not to mention the modern LED lighting – further add to operator comfort. The large windshield comes with a strong safety grille that is easy to open for cleaning. The efficient dust collector with non-stop cleaning decreases the amount of dust emissions into the environment. It also improves filter lifetime and therefore reduces the need for maintenance.

Other features that translate into easy maintenance and reduced downtime include the engine compartment’s open layout, easy cooler cleaning, the modular compressor control system, and the simplified, CAN bus-based electrical system. All daily maintenance points are located at ground level to simplify the process and improve the safety of service personnel. A fast fueling option and large fuel tank further reduce costly downtime.

SAFETY
Safety is a basic value for us and an intrinsic characteristic of all our drill rigs. On top of the proactive work to improve operational safety, we turn requirements into technical solutions – as a result the Leopard Series complies fully with the new drill rig safety standard EN16228.
