This Atlas Copco DM30 is a used vertical drill, sometimes referred to as a rotary drill rig, dating from 2006 and currently located in Kentucky, USA. Vertical drills of this type are purpose-built for blast-hole drilling operations in surface mining, quarrying, and construction, where accurate, repeatable penetration into hard rock is essential. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing drilling equipment, compressed air systems, and mining machinery for heavy industries worldwide.
Power comes from a Cummins QSX15 engine, a well-regarded heavy-duty diesel unit commonly found in demanding drilling and mining applications. The machine is equipped with a 900/350 HR2 compressor, which provides the high-pressure, high-volume air delivery needed to drive the drill bit and carry cuttings efficiently up the hole. A dust collector is fitted as standard, managing airborne particulate at the collar of the hole, and a water injection system is also included, offering an alternative or supplementary method of dust suppression during drilling.
The drill is configured with a four-rod carousel, allowing the operator to extend hole depth by adding drill rods sequentially without manually re-loading each time. The machine is set up for 4-1/2 inch by 30-foot drill rods, indicating the rod diameter and individual rod length for which the carousel and feed system are currently matched. The seller describes the machine as being in excellent working condition.
