Epiroc SmartROC T40-11 – Surface drill rig for quarrying and construction

When it comes to fuel efficiency, the SmartROC T40 burns less diesel than any other rig in its class. It’s a great performer — even under the toughest drilling conditions.

This rig is built with the operator in mind. It features an ergonomic user interface to make drilling safer, faster and more effective. The SmartROC T40 is easy to operate and highly productive. It delivers the lowest cost per cubic meter of any rig in this hole range. The Rig Control System (RCS) automatically controls the engines RPM and compressor load to deliver exactly the right amount of power demanded by current conditions.

The entire architecture of the SmartROC T40 is designed to be efficient. Vital components are strategically placed to make servicing easier. Additionally, the length of hydraulic hoses are kept to a minimum reducing the amount of hydraulic oil needed.

Main Benefits
• Lowest fuel consumption in its class
• High productivity with great hole quality
• Long reach and perfect balance
• Easy to service and maintain thanks to low number of components

Earn More per Cubic Meter
A SmartROC can be equipped with the optional Hole Navigation System (HNS) from Epiroc. This enables drill pattern navigation via satellite receivers. HNS helps ensure that holes are in the right place, at the correct inclination, and drilled to the required length as defined in the drill plan. The result is a decrease in drill and blast costs per cubic meter produced.

• Fuel efficiency
The entire system is designed to minimize energy loss. The operator can precisely adjust the flushing air volume and the collector fan speed according to direct feedback from the cabin. This ensures that both deliver only what is necessary for the best performance. Engine RPM and compressor load are self-adjusting according to demand. Three variable
hydraulic pumps lower the engine speed during off-drilling time and tramming. Additionally, an automatic cooler-fan control is fitted as standard.

• Operator in focus
For technology to be truly of value, it must be easy to use. This rig seamlessly integrates advanced technology, offering ease-of-use and safety. The air-conditioned cabin is FOPS and ROPS-approved to protect the operator and is a pleasant environment to work in. The operator has full control over an efficient drilling cycle via two multifunction, joysticks and an icon-based instrument panel. The ergonomically designed controls together with supporting armrests help to reduce the strain on arms and wrists.

• Improved serviceability
Compared to similar rigs on the market, the SmartROC T40 has 50% fewer hoses and 70% fewer couplings which reduce the risk of leakages. As a result, it only requires a hydraulic tank of 100 liters. The small hydraulic oil tank and the position of the hydraulic valves and electric modules creates more space for easier access and serviceability. The service interval of the COP rock drills has been extended to 800 percussion hours with no sacrifice in performance, which means more time to focus on drilling.

A Comprehensive Service Offering
Even the best equipment needs to be serviced regularly to make sure it sustains peak performance.
