en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sandvik Mining has launched the DD423iE battery-electric development drill, which the company says enhances underground drilling performance and productivity.

The DD423iE is the second model in Sandvik's next-generation development drill series, following the diesel version introduced earlier this year. The new battery-electric model achieves several key performance improvements: a 50% increase in battery capacity and travel range, an 80% improvement in battery drilling performance, and a 30% increase in travel speed.

The drill can be fully charged in approximately two hours and supports drilling operations while charging, while retaining improvements introduced in the diesel version, such as enhanced drilling coverage and cross-cutting performance.

The drill has undergone field testing at Agnico Eagle Finland's Kittilä mine, validating its performance under operational conditions.

Simon Morrissey, Product Manager for Development Drills at Sandvik Mining, stated that the DD423iE combines industry-leading drilling technology with the advantages of electrification, helping customers reduce operating costs while maintaining high performance and supporting their sustainability goals.
