Epiroc announced two additions to the Pit Viper family, the Pit Viper 231 E and Pit Viper 235 E. These new electric-driven blasthole drills offer operators safer, cleaner, and more sustainable operations while maintaining the productivity and reliability that the Pit Viper line is renowned for.
Equipped with Epiroc’s proprietary operating system, Rig Control System (RCS), these drills offer advanced on-board and off-board automation that significantly enhances safety, accuracy, and productivity.
Epiroc’s electric-driven blasthole drills are zero-emission machines, making operations cleaner and more sustainable. These drills contribute to a healthier planet by significantly reducing carbon emissions. With electric power at the core, these machines eliminate the need for traditional fuel, leading to substantial savings in operational costs. The Pit Viper 231 E and Pit Viper 235 E are a cost-effective solution for any mining operation.
The Pit Viper 231 E can drill 152mm – 250mm (6in – 9 7/8”) holes with up to 16.1m (53ft) capability. At the same time, the Pit Viper 235 E can drill holes up to 171mm to 270mm (6-3/4” to 10-5/8”) diameter. Both provide a full range of options to meet current and future needs, delivering efficiency without compromising safety, environmental responsibility, or operational cost-effectiveness.
