Alpine Box Hole Borer ABH 1600
The Alpine Box Hole Borer is designed like a small TBM for steep inclines. The field of application is for short connection holes
between the main haulage level and the stope. The holes can be used for ore passes as well as for travel ways or ventilation
(or other mine related purposes, where a circular hole with a smooth surface is beneficial). The advantage of this system is the
blind boring concept there is no need for developed space at the end of the hole which makes the drill operation independ-
ent from the stope development.
The machine is a very compact design (length of the boring unit app. 3200) and arrives in a launching tube (either rail bound
or crawler mounted). After alignment of the launching tube with the direction of the hole, the borer starts collaring and to climb
out of the tube. After finishing the hole, the machine walks down the bored hole and arrives in the launching tube which is the
transport cradle for repositioning of the equipment. The machine is operated from a separate operators place at the power
pack which provides save and convenient working conditions for the operator.
In case of a modified conveying system the machine can be used as well for horizontal drills.
