After 100 years of designing and building blasthole drills, Atlas Copco knows that to meet the challenges of the mining and construction industry, your drill has to perform consistently and efficiently and keep on working, no matter how rugged the environment. That’s what goes into the design of every DML blasthole drill. It is productive, tough, versatile, and durable. Recently, the DML broke all records at a Siberian coal mine drilling 30,500 drillmeters per month.
