Description
Boart Longyear has combined proven technology from its most popular surface coring drill rigs to create the powerful LF™350e. When paired with the FREEDOM™ Loader, the LF350e combination is ideal for deep hole exploration companies who want to target contracts that stipulate some of the highest safety standards, without compromising on productivity.
TOTALLY HANDS-FREE ROD HANDLING
The LF350e and FREEDOM Loader combination provides hands-free rod handling. No intervention from the driller’s assistant is required to align and cycle the rods or connect a hoist plug when operating the loader.
OPTIMAL SAFETY WITHOUT COMPROMISING PRODUCTIVITY
The FREEDOM Loader can cycle 6 meter rods in same amount of time as a manual cycle, which means enhanced safety is achieved without compromising productivity.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
The LF350e drill rig is completely electronically controlled utilizing CAN bus and PLC devices. The patent-pending control panel features a 12” touch screen display for drilling information and mode selection.
DEPTH CAPACITY
With up to 3,360 meters of NQ™ V-Wall™ capacity, the LF350e can meet the demands of the deepest diamond coring projects. Need a larger size core in a deep hole? The LF350e can deliver 3050 m of HQ core or 1800 m of PQ core using HRQ™ V-Wall™ and PHD V-Wall™ rods.
FEATURES
- HANDS-FREE ROD HANDLING
No intervention from the driller’s assistant is required to trip and align the rods or connect to the top drive head when operating the Freedom Rod Loader. - TILTING TOP DRIVE HEAD
The forward tilting head design simplifies the rod handling process and reduces the need for operator intervention and maintenance. - ROD BREAKING CLAMP
A hydraulic breaking device means no wrench under power. Rod alignment device and centralizer included. - ROTATING FOOT CLAMP
The foot clamp rotates to break rod joints located between the foot clamp and rod breaking clamp. - CLIMATE CONTROLLED CAB
The heated and air conditioned drillers cab protects workers from the elements. - DEPTH CAPACITY
With up to 3,360 meters of NQ™ V-Wall™ capacity, the LF350e covers all of your deep hole exploration needs. - ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
Utilizing CAN bus communication and PLC programming, all functions are controlled electronically. The “e” in LF350e refers to the fully electronic control system.
