AGC showcases its latest, largest raise bore machine
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.

Mining equipment manufacturer AGC has built its largest raise bore machine that will be exported to an industrial and mining services company in India. Schalk Burger has the details.
Schalk Burger:
The RM12 raise bore machine can drill holes up to 6 m in diameter, has 500 kNm of torque, 5 800 kN of thrust and a 380 kW DC drive.
The RM12s have automated diagnostics, as well as self-drilling, remote control and remote monitoring as additional options.
