The rotary head stands as a pivotal element within the
rotary drill rig, guaranteeing unmatched availability and
reliability.

Our latest mining rotary head MRH is the epitome of

resilience, boasting a rugged design tailored for heavy-duty
operations. Engineered to endure high loads, its gearbox
performs reliably across demanding mining environments.

By integrating a dual-stage gear reduction system, we’ve

surpassed the constraints of traditional planetary gearbox
setups, extending the rotary head’s lifespan.

The forced lubrication system, powered by a hydraulic

pump, ensures comprehensive lubrication to all bearings.
Coupled with oil filtration, this system significantly
enhances gearbox durability.

The quick-change rotary head design revolutionizes

maintenance protocols by eliminating the need to dismantle
feed chains. This innovative approach facilitates swift head
replacement during scheduled maintenance, effectively
minimizing downtime.
