EPC Canada
Introducing the Scorpion underground loader system.
EPC Canada has combined the durability of an underground carrier and the ability to transport bulk emulsion explosives; capable of uphole and downhole loading with accurate and reliable results. This combination vehicle is ideal for most underground mining applications.
The Scorpion has been developed for use in underground applications to transport and load explosives in the safest and most efficient manner possible. It features a camera for remote hose insertion, a water ring for lower pumping pressures and a robotic feeder head for downhole, drifting and uphole loading.
The Scorpion is controlled via PLC with proportional electric over hydraulics, and a boom that can reach a height of over 28 feet from the ground / 21 feet horizontally, with a slew of 225 degrees. It also features a large explosives capacity and a maximum pumping rate of 85kg/min.
Put the sting in blasting with a Scorpion underground loader from EPC Canada.
It’s the reliable, safe and efficient choice.
