RMT 120F Pneumatic Drifter

BBC 120F - Drifter Built for the Toughest Underground Conditions

The RMT 120F Pneumatic Drifter is one of the most widely used pneumatic rock drills in underground mining worldwide. Weighing 70 kg with a 120mm piston diameter and 65mm stroke, it delivers an impact rate of 35 Hz and a maximum impact power of 7.2 kW, running on 167 l/s (354 cfm) at 6-7 bar.

Hole diameters range from 48 to 57 mm (upto 25 metres depth) or 64 to 75 mm (upto 15 metres depth) using R32, R38 or T38 drill rods.

The feature that sets this drifter apart is its rifle-bar-actuated rotation motor. It comes with eight pawls — four for rotation in each direction. This allows reversible remote-controlled rotation and easy switching between forward and reverse without stopping operations.

The 120F Drifter has a modular sectional system that makes dismantling of the drill for servicing and inspection far simpler than solid-body designs. It reduces the maintenance downtime in underground environments.

Where the RMT 120F Gets to Work: Surface, Underground, and Everything In Between

Perforadora neumática: La RMT 120F es un equipo equivalente a la perforadora neumática Epiroc BBC 120F, utilizada en minería subterránea, tunelería, perforación de bancos y aplicaciones de construcción.

The RMT 120 is supported and can be mounted on multiple rig types — including the Simba Junior Long Hole Drilling Rig, Crawler Drills, and Wagon Drills — making it one of the most versatile pneumatic drifters available.

Its applications include longhole drilling, bench drilling, ring drilling, face drilling, grouting holes, top hole drilling for furnaces, and tunnelling works.

It is used across underground mines, opencast surface operations, civil construction tunnelling, and mining development headings worldwide. The drifter handles both surface and underground applications, and because it runs on compressed air alone – without hydraulic power packs – it is especially practical for remote mining locations and developing countries where hydraulic infrastructure is limited.

There are numerous traders who supply the BBC 120F Drifter. But RMT manufactures directly, which means shorter lead times and better control over quality and pricing.

Why Choose the RMT 120F Pneumatic Drifter Over OEM and Competitors

Pneumatic drifter, perforadora neumática, perforadora de roca, martillo perforador — whatever you call it, the RMT 120F matches the same specifications as the Epiroc BBC 120F while offering a direct manufacturer's advantage.

Spare parts for the RMT 120F are 100% interchangeable with those of the original Epiroc BBC 120F, meaning mines already running BBC 120F equipment can switch to RMT spares or RMT drifter without changing their spare parts inventory or service procedures.

The drifter is easily mountable on a variety of drilling rigs and offers remote-controlled operation for safe drilling from a distance and comes from a manufacturer with dedicated support for export customers across Latin America (Colombia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Mexico), Africa (South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria), the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

In case there is any doubt about the performance of the RMT 120F Drifter, as one of the top manufacturers and exporters of mining tools, RMT provides a 6-month replacement warranty against any kind of manufacturing defects, providing an added layer of buyer confidence when switching from OEM to an equivalent alternative.
