MPI purchases Z Drill hydraulic roofbolter worldwide manufacturing rights and patents from Perforator GmbH and Schmidt, Kranz & Co. GmbH. The complete line of the Z Drill portable lightweight roofbolters is now manufactured at MPI’s facility near Pittsburgh, PA for worldwide distribution. Z Drills are used in underground applications from coal and hard rock mines to tunnels. The Z Drills are capable of operating directly off longwall hydraulics or off the PTO’s of scoops, loaders, etc. MPI’s Z Drill product family includes the: • Mini Z (2’ 2” tall) for low seams • Long Z Drill • Short Z Drill and • Lightweight Z Drill (low pressure systems only) Z Drills are widely recognized around the world and are known for their performance and durability in tough underground environments. Z Drills are perfect for applications when it is unnecessary or impossible to use larger bolting machines (i.e. on the longwall face, on the rib side of the beltline, spot bolting, etc.). With a Z Drill, there is no need to use production machines for peripheral work, saving production time or even a fine for unsupported top. Z Drills are currently in production in the USA and are available for worldwide sale. MPI’s trained technicians and sales team will help determine the correct Z Drill for particular applications. MPI offers rental programs and a unique “Service Exchange” program, currently available only to US customers. MPI is an international manufacturer, distributor and service group for specialty mining and tunneling equipment.
