Introducing Epiroc Grey line drill bits
Epiroc launch a new range of drilling tools optimized for quarrying and surface construction
EPIROC have introduced their new range of Epiroc Grey line drill bits – specifically developed for European quarrying and construction drilling conditions.
Manufactured from high-quality steel, the products are recommended for customers looking to increase rock drilling efficiency and optimize their cost per meter in less-demanding rock conditions.
Primarily designed for quarrying and surface construction applications, the products are said to be a perfect match for drill rigs in this segment, where the balance between drilling economy, reduced downtime, quality, and reliability is in focus.
The new drill bits are compatible with Epiroc’s industry standard T-thread drill string and can be use on the Epiroc Yellow line rods, as well as on other manufacturers’ rods using the same common thread type.
The Epiroc Grey line drill string will be manufactured in four different locations, ensuring availability and making it more accessible to customers around the world.
Johan Thenor, Epiroc’s head of product marketing for top-hammer Grey line products, said: ‘With the new Epiroc Grey line bits, we have a fantastic opportunity to supply the quarrying and surface construction segments with a product that will not only boost productivity, but also provide the lowest cost per metre.
‘By utilizing our global manufacturing footprint in the best way possible, we can ensure we produce closer to the market and also secure product availability.'
