The Atlas Copco ECM720 is a used vertical drill, also referred to as a down-the-hole drill, manufactured in 2003 and currently located in Kentucky, USA. Vertical drills of this type are purpose-built for rock drilling applications including mining, quarrying, construction, and blasting operations, where deep, precise vertical or angled boreholes are required. Atlas Copco is a well-established Swedish industrial manufacturer with a long history of producing drilling equipment, compressors, and related machinery for the mining and construction industries worldwide.
This machine is configured for the 4.5- to 5.5-inch hole class, making it suited to medium-range production drilling tasks. It is fitted with a Montabert HC200A drifter, a hydraulic rock drill unit that delivers the percussive and rotational force needed to penetrate hard rock formations. Power is provided by a CAT engine, reflecting the use of a Caterpillar diesel powerplant for field-reliable performance in demanding site conditions.
The drill is set up to handle GT60 tooling, a common coupling system used with down-the-hole and top-hammer drill strings, allowing compatibility with a widely available range of drill rods and bits. Dust management is addressed through an onboard dust collector, which captures particulate at the collar of the hole during drilling — an important feature for operator safety and regulatory compliance. A water injection system is also fitted, which suppresses dust at the drill bit and can aid in sample collection and bit cooling during operation.
