The Simba Junior Mini is best suited for underground mines that have space restrictions and low height. The Simba Junior Mini drilling rig is designed for low-height tunnels and narrow mining operations, where other standard drilling rigs cannot operate efficiently.
Being smaller in size does not make the RMT Simba Mini Long hole drilling machine less effective. It is loaded with the BBC 120F Pneumatic Drifter for powerful and faster drilling and less maintenance. With features like easy mobility, safety, and performance, it is ideal for long hole drilling, drifting, and small-scale underground mining projects.
• Design:- The ultra compact design of Simba Mini allows it to operate efficiently even in low height mines (2.4 to 3 meters)
• 360° Drilling:- The feed beam of all the Simba Mini models allows the 120F Drifter to rotate and drill in every possible angle.
• Pneumatic System:- It is completely safe as it operates with Pneumatic power, avoiding any kind of electrical hazards which are common in underground mines.
• Transportation and Installation:- To move from one place to another, it is easy to dismantle, move, and re-install even in confined spaces
• Low Maintenance:- In comparison to Hydraulic rigs, RMT Simba models have fewer components, resulting in less downtime and a lower requirement to replace parts.
Thus, RMT Simba Junior Mini is an ideal choice for Gold Mining and other mining works or for horizontal drift development in low-height underground mines.
