The solution to large diameter single-pass drilling

The Pit Viper 351 blast hole drill is the solution to your large diameter drilling needs. With 125,000 Ibs (56,700 kg) of bit load and up to 3800 CFM (107.6 m/min) of air at 110 PSI (758 kPa), the PV-351 is the most advanced blasthole drill to enter the mining market. The PV-351 can be configured with either a diesel or electric prime mover.


Main features
  • The automatic cable tensioning ensures an accurate head alignment, improves cable life, and eliminates drill down-time for cable tensioning

  • The cables used lead to smoother drilling, which helps increase the life of the bit and feed system.

  • Designed and tested to the same Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) standard as dozers, the cab protects operators against falling objects
