Sandvik Boxhole Borer MD320 trackboundThe Box Hole Borer MD 320 is designed like a small TBM for steep inclines. The field of application is for short connection holesbetween main haulage level and 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 holewith a smooth surface is beneficial). The advantage of this system is the blind boring concept there is no need for developed spaceat the end of the hole which makes the drill operation independent from the stope development.The machine features a very compact design and arrives in a launching tube (either rail bound or crawler mounted). After align-ment, the borer starts collaring and to climb out of the tube. After finishing the hole, the machine walks down the bored hole andarrives in the launching tube which is the transport cradle for repositioning of the equipment. The machine is operated from a sep-arate operators place at the power pack which provides save and convenient working conditions for the operator.
