Powerful Pulldown: Equipped with an electric top-drive rack-and-pinion pulldown, the drill ensures positive bit loading, reducing wear on components. This robust and precise pulldown mechanism efficiently transmits force into the bit, contributing to increased durability and availability.
Rugged Masts: The drill masts are designed for high loads, employing finite element analysis to achieve fatigue-resistant structures and minimize downtime and repair costs associated with cracks. Constructed with standard high-strength alloy steel, the mast provides sturdy support for the rotary carriage and drill string.
Superior Propulsion: Built for durability, the mainframes and crawler frames withstand harsh conditions in hard-rock mining. The combination of rugged crawlers and powerful hydrostatic propel drives delivers maneuverability, gradeability, and fast set-ups.
Ample, Reliable Air Compressors: The drill offers a range of dependable, mining-duty compressors to meet specific bailing air needs in mine operations. The compressors on the 320XPC ensure quality service.
Superior Operator Visibility: Operators benefit from a wide view of drilling and surrounding areas, facilitated by windows and video technology that enhance situational awareness during drilling and propelling. The operator’s chair swivels to face the direction of travel, simplifying repositioning.
Productive Operator Environment: The FOPS Level II-certified structure prioritizes operator comfort and productivity, featuring shatter-resistant glass, ergonomic controls, intuitive displays, and an adjustable air seat suspension with viscous cab mounts to mitigate vibrations.
Easy-Access Deck Design: Safety and serviceability are emphasized with an efficient deck layout that provides wide walkways. Operators have ample space to quickly and easily change bits and pipes on the large rear deck.
Advanced Diagnostics: The Centurion electrical control system incorporates intelligent sensors and input/output devices to precisely monitor and control hundreds of points on the drill, enhancing performance and reliability through advanced diagnostics.
PreVail RHM: The PreVail RHM system translates data into actionable insights, supporting the drill’s productivity with timely and efficient machine health and performance data.
Built to Withstand Arctic Conditions: Designed to operate in low temperatures, the 320XPC is equipped with harsh-climate systems and features to ensure performance in some of the coldest environments.
High-Altitude Performance: The P&H 320XPC is designed to provide consistent drilling equipment performance at altitudes over 14,000 ft (4,250 m), showcasing power and air capacity for productivity in high-altitude locations.
Weak Power Grid Protection: An optional soft start transformer mitigates starts on weak power grids by reducing the initial inrush current by over 75%, controlling power infrastructure costs, and promoting extended main motor and compressor longevity.
