Secondary breaking drill rigs

Sandvik secondary breaking drills are engineered to optimize extraction rates and safely release blockages to improve drawpoint availability in back caving operations and narrow vein mining. Secondary breaking drills increase productivity by breaking oversized boulders without the need for explosives and time-consuming ventilation and evacuation measures. Remote control ensures a safe working environment for the operators.
