Epiroc Launches Breakthrough ET Drill Strings, Advancing Their Commitment to Customer Uptime
The company’s mining equipment has delivered exceptional performance and unmatched uptime for over a hundred years. The release of Epiroc ET66, ET45 and ET38 marks a substantial breakthrough in tophammer drilling efficiency and reliability. Developed over 5 years, the new Epiroc ET drill string components have undergone meticulous modeling, lab testing, and field trials. Multiple concepts were subjected to computer simulations and laboratory assessments before the most powerful concepts were chosen for field tests in Sweden and Canada. The result is the Epiroc ET66, ET45 and ET38 drill strings. Designed and built for unbeatable durability and reliability, this next-generation drill string aims to make mining operations more manageable, safer, and highly efficient. The Epiroc ET drill string family is much stronger and stiffer than its previous versions, resulting in hardly any unplanned stops due to drill string failure. Additionally, the tube's shoulder drive can transfer more energy into the rock, reducing vibration in the drill string and rig. The Epiroc ET66, ET45 and ET38 drill strings are available now. Integrating it with existing Epiroc drill rig fleets significantly boost operational efficiency in all areas of operation. In addition to enhanced durability, the tubes have a new innovative thread geometry that ensures easier uncoupling and fewer stuck tubes – improving drill time, uptime, and the operator's safety …and more uptime. Epiroc showcased the new ET66 drill string at MINExpo, held September 24-26 in Las Vegas.
