Used drilling and Blasting Equipment

[amman1]

I am searching for used drilling equipment(blast hole),in the vicenity of East Africa...Europe is close enough,(ingelsole-rand preferd). A large dealership in the area?

Good luck! I've tried that myself. I eventually had to source product from the States and ship it over.

If you can deal with Tamrock, they service Africa pretty well out of Europe.

Thanks Mr. Lucca for the prompt response. If not inglesole-rand I guess tamrock will do. I have come across inglesole dealerships in Europe but you are right they dont deal with rock drill products.
Thanks again.

If you are unable to source a rig in Europe have a look in Australia, particularly in Western Australia.

If you are unable to secure a rig there are a number of drill and blast contractors based in Perth who have existing activites in Africa. This may provide an alternative option for you.

Did you find a IR Blast Hole Rig? If not there is one for sale in WEST Palm Beach Fl. I work for a company that has an older ECM 450 Hydraulic track drill with a drifter. Email me at deibuild@adelphia.net if your interested.

I have found informations on blasting and cleaning technics on this site :

[Minegate]

http://www.minegate.com

has fifty plus references to companies in South Africa for Drilling and Blasting. Many have used drills and jumbos for sale. Boart is a good starting bet.
