The Thunderbird 1110 Drill Optimization sets a new industry standard for blast hole drill guidance and monitoring.
Thunderbird 1110 is available with StrataSense, real-time capture and display of the Rock Hardness Index, enabling modified blast hole explosives loading for better fragmentation and reduced costs. Thunderbird 1110 has been developed from a ground-up design process by the team that pioneered the development of the first drill monitoring and GPS navigation systems.
This experience has allowed the team to design a leading system with many world-first unique features that provide its operators with a higher rate of return on their investment. With Thunderbird 1110 you’re equipped for more accurate blasting—reducing the loss of ore, improved fragmentation, and lower blasting costs.
