MBI Global's new rig, which is equipped with a rod handler, making operations easier and more efficient by automating activities in the danger zone that would have been done by humans, is the result of a strong partnership between MBI Global and Safedrill, two suppliers that state that they share the same goal: to offer peace of mind.

A productive collaboration

MBI Global has joined forces with Safedrill, a Chilean company that specialises in innovating to meet the high standards of the mining industry. Together, they have combined their expertise to offer an innovative solution that exceeds all expectations in terms of worker safety. With this R&D collaboration, the intent is to drive innovation to improve operational performance and make drilling work more appealing to the next generation.

State-of-the-art technology 

The new drill is equipped with cutting-edge technology: a rod handler that feeds, retrieves, and stores rods and inner tubes quickly and efficiently. The complete cycle of operations takes under 60 seconds. To meet environmental requirements, the handler's side-sliding configuration reduces the platform's total surface area and footprint by 40% compared to a standard drill. 

Better safety 

The drill eliminates human operations in high-risk areas thanks to a remote, air-conditioned control console equipped with a video surveillance system that provides 360-degree visibility, enhancing safety at every angle of operation. Its ease of operation and automation will delight workers and help attract a more inclusive workforce.

The KmN2.5sm embodies MBI Global and Safedrill's commitment to innovation, safety, and efficiency. With the help of its valued collaborator, MBI Global has created a solution that meets the industry's most exacting requirements.
