PV-271

The PV-271 line operates in almost every surface mining application out there – gold, copper, coal, iron ore, phosphate, silver, you name it and the PV-271 has probably drilled it. When it comes to single pass holes up to 16.2m (63ft) with diameters up to 270mm (16.62inch), the PV-271 has proven itself time and time again.

PV-271
The PV-271 features a patented cable feed system with automatic tensioning for improved component life and low total cost of operation
 
Options for both diesel and electric powerplants make the PV-271 a flexible option for any type of operation.
 
The tower is a “live tower” design meaning it can be raised and lowered with a full carousel and the rotary head at the top of the tower – further testament to the structural design of the tower.
 
The standard Rig Control System (RCS) provides on board automation capability as part of the standard drill package to help deliver safety and productivity. With RCS you can run automation with an operator on board with options like auto drill and auto level or you can run with the operator off the drill with the optional BenchREMOTE package allowing one operator to run one or multiple units. With the RCS system on Pit Vipers you can even achieve your ambition of fully autonomous drilling with almost no human interaction with the drill.
 
The Epiroc patented hydraulic wet clutch removes the load of the compressor during non-drilling functions and decreases fuel consumption and TCO
 
Extra Capacity
 
The Pit Viper 271 can now be configured with the XC package (eXtra Capacity) to provide 85,000 lb (42.5 tons) bit load capacity. Along with our proven list of options, the perfect PV-271XC can be configured for your specific application.
 
The PV-270 XC takes the industry-leading Pit Viper 270 series to another level of productivity and reliability, ultimately contributing to the lowest total cost of ownership in the blasthole drilling industry in its class.
Epiroc’s PV-270XC series delivers a hole diameter range up to 12 ¼ inches (311mm). This is available in both the multi pass and single pass offering which provides a clean hole of 55 ft (16.8m) and 59 ft (18m).
 
The PV-271XC builds on the high industry standard of performance and innovation of the Pit Viper 270 series.
