Epiroc - Powerbit X a new drill bit protected by diamonds


Epiroc has launched their new drill bit. the Powerbit X with diamond-protected buttons, which they state significantly prolongs replacement intervals, reduces exposure to danger for operators, raises uptime and lowers CO2 emissions.

"Powerbit X is a game-changer when it comes to safety. The diamond-protected buttons give the drill bits substantially longer service life than those with standard buttons as well as maximizes the drilling time, which means fewer changes, higher productivity and less exposure to danger for operators" says Goran Popovski, President of the Tools & Attachments division at Epiroc.

Powerbit X realizes the full potential of remotely and automatically controlled drilling. The long drill bit life means that it is possible to drill in auto mode over lunch breaks, shift changes and blast ventilation cycles.

"An operator can complete a single hole with only one drill bit. The alternative with in-hole bit replacements is time-consuming and quickly adds substantial productivity losses. It is possible to save hundreds of hours by changing to this new technology using buttons protected by diamonds" says Jonas Falkeström, Strategic Business Development Manager
