Sandvik has brought together some of the industry’s most
outstanding expertise, products and experience to provide
a unique offering in the area of exploration drilling. The
Sandvik heavy duty DE700 series consists of two dedicated
and powerful diamond core drills for surface exploration
applications - the DE710 and DE740. They are designed
for deep hole drilling and can be found in a wide range of
drilling operations such as mineral exploration, directional
drilling and geotechnical drilling all over the world - from
easy-access open pit mines to the remotest of areas. Thanks
to close cooperation with customers, these heavy duty drill
rigs for deep hole drilling can meet requirements in an im-
pressive range of applications.

The smaller in the series, the DE710, still has a remarkable
depth capacity up to 1000 m (3280 ft) with N size rods.
The DE740 is bigger and stronger with a depth capacity up
to 1630 m (5340 ft) with N size rods. The DE700 series is
available in a range of configurations which make the drills
uniquely suitable for operational and environmental
demands globally. The drills can be truck-mounted for
greater maneuverability and ease of relocating the drills be-
tween sites or can be fitted on crawler tracks, powered from
the rig hydraulic system, making the drills self-propelled
units for areas with difficult site access. The space efficient
design has proven a great benefit on sites where a small foot
print is required.

 Robust and reliable
for high productivity

The design of the head traverse system includes a hydraulic cyl-

inder that is directly coupled to the rotation head carriage. This
design significantly reduces the amount of moving components
and reduces the overall maintenance costs for the drill.

The operator has excellent accessibility for both

minor and major maintenance work thanks to the
drill’s open design. The robust drill mast is designed
so the parts at the top can be easily accessed and
maintained.

The powerful rotation unit features more torque for
