The SM-13e is the novelty of the Soilmec rigs range.
It is the first electric drilling machine, evolving that path started decades ago, with the advent of the first electric motorized rigs for internal environments and in tunnels (ST-20, ST -60, SM-5E etc ..).
Indeed the SM-13e has not a simply "engine replacement" by connecting the machine to an electric power cable.
Engine, rotary and crowd system operates thanks to permanent magnet electric motors feeded by lithium batteries, alternatives to cable power supplies, and fitted with control inverters.
The SM-13e represents the first step in the development of a whole range of electrified Soilmec machines, which we call zero Emission of the E-TECH line.
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY
Less environmental pollution due to the electric power supply: higher efficiency, lower noise, lower CO2 and GHG emissions, real green.
REDUCED OPERATING COSTS
Higher efficiency of the electric power supply guarantees a reduction in operating costs by up to 56 %
TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS & PERFORMANCES
Tech specs comparable or even better than diesel rigs in the same class
Speed, Force, Torque measurements (Drilling energy KPI)
Torque booster & High torque available
High effective power on the tool and improved productivity
e-PERFORMANCES
Permanent Magnet Motors: #4 units, same type. Boost mode & Instant torque will reduce the possibility to get stuck in the hole. Slow speed control for jet grouting technology
Battery Management System: BMS is drawn under Soilmec specification for drilling application c/w 3 operative modes: Normal, Eco (elongated battery life), and Boost (increased performances)
