PRAKLA Bohrtechnik GmbH is presenting a deep drilling rig designated RB-T 90. The company has sold six of the universal drilling rigs to China. They are designed to sink emergency rescue shafts to reach trapped miners quickly and safely.
A key feature of the newly developed machines is their great mobility: Built on a truck trailer, they can be towed quickly to any location where they may be needed. The rigs are being built in the Bauer Maschinen plant at the corporate headquarters in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria. RB-T 90 drilling rigs offer a maximum hook load capacity of 90 tonnes. The maximum small-diameter drilling depth is 3,000 metres. With 700 millimetres diameter, bores can be sunk down to a depth of 1,500 metres.
