Five new underground products from Atlas Copco
161 Atlas Copco launched five new products for underground construction and mining applications at bauma.

The new series of Boomer E rigs features the COP 4038 and the new COP 1800+ series. Both product lines include a new rig control system as well as a new version of Atlas Copco´s Advanced Underground Manager system. This much-improved user interface takes planning and evaluation to the next level in performance and efficiency.
The series also includes a new dry drilling system, providing totally water-free face drilling.

Atlas Copco’s new Boomer E-series can be equipped with the strongest and fastest rock drill on the market, the new COP 4038. It is 20-30% faster than the nearest contender and optimised for hard rock conditions.

The COP 4038 comes with a COP care pro service agreement that safeguards reliability, availability, and sustainable productivity. It is a super-fast 40kW rock drill for 43-64mm drifter holes, which utilises Atlas Copco’s high-frequency technology together with an efficient double damping system to absorb reflex shock waves – making it possible to drill exceptionally fast without increasing wear on the drill steel.

The COP 1800+ series provides the same great performance as its predecessor, the standard COP 1800-series, but extends recommended service intervals by 50%.

All over the world, demands for documentation and follow-up are on the rise. This prompted Atlas Copco to create its new Underground Manager, taking planning and evaluation to a higher level.

The system provides excellent support for all Atlas Copco underground machines. The user interface is new, modern, and easy to use. Underground Manager contains a new drill plan generator, complete 3D view of the tunnel, smart interpolation of contours, and an improved log and report function.

Carbon emissions have also been reduced to a minimum. Diesel engines take care of tramming but, once on site, electricity takes over for drilling.
Stage 3B/Tier4i diesel engines are standard on the rig and biodegradable hydraulic oils are available as well.

Boomer rigs can be equipped with up to four booms, providing a coverage area of 16-208m2, and the most extensive range of high performance rock drills on the market (16-40 kW) designed to tackle all rock types and drilling conditions.

The company will use both exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet the coming regulations, as with its current Stage IIIB solution. This means the fitting of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) but no requirement for a DPF. Scania engines are currently in use in Terex and Doosan articulated haulers, along with a number of Terex crushing ma

    JCB has introduced two new soil compactors; the VM117D and the VM137D with operating weights of 11tonnes and 12.2tonnes respectively. The single-drum vibratory compactors can be used for a wide range of work in infrastructure and housing projects and have a smooth drum as standard with pad foot drums as an option. They are powered by JCB’s 93kW Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim Ecomax engines, which meet the emissions target without using a DPF and are said to deliver fuel savings of 16%. Changes to the compaction
