ONRAM 1500

DIAMOND CORE DRILL

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
ONRAM 1500 is the most recent development from Sandvik Nora AB. ONRAM 1500 is designed to meet the re-
quirements from the market for deeper and larger holes. The most evident news about the ONRAM 1500 are:

- Direct feed (no chains)

- 10 ton push and pull capacity
- MaxTorque control

ONRAM 1500 for underground use is powered by either a 55 kW or 90 kW Power Unit. For surface use 88 kW or
120 kW Diesel Power Packs. The MaxTorque control enables optimal balance of torque and rotation speed.

Sandvik Mining and Construction has a world wide net of Distributors, Service and Spare Part Stocking available to
ONRAM users.

All capacity indications are given without any guaranty but could be expected in “normal” ground conditions by a
well-trained drilling crew using high quality drilling tools.

Practical up-drilling capacity is about 50% of capacity in holes vertical down.

DRILL UNIT
FEED BOOM
Standard version is made of very stiff and torsion resistant steel profile. The feed boom is mounted on a frame
with hydraulic tilt cylinder and mechanical supports.
The new type of hydraulic feed cylinder from Sandvik Nora AB gives the drill a very high push & pull capacity in
relation to its size.
The mounting frame for the underground version is specially designed for easy setting-up when fan drilling and
has a full range adjustment from vertical down to vertical up.
Positioning is simplified by a mechanical feed boom positioner allowing a telescoping of 1 - 2 m (3 - 6’) depend-
ing on feed boom length.

Basic facts:

Feed length (underground version) 1710 mm Feed boom

Total length (underground version) 3018 mm
Feed force 92.2 kN
Pulling force 92.2 kN
Feed speed, rod running, max 0.6 m/s

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
ROD HOLDER
The Rodholder closes automatically by the gas accumulator and opens hydraulically. Rodholder and Chuck
work with inverted action which means that the Rodholder opens when the Chuck closes and vice versa (except
for “Big Jaw”). Exchangeable rod guides and jaws for standard drill rods, casing and core barrels.

Speed is infinitely variable between zero – max rpm. Chuck is closed by spring action and opened hydraulically.
Exchangeable rod guides and jaws for standard drill rods and casing.
A high torque assembly is available for the N-head for cases where extra high torques are required. The rpm can
be varied between 0 and 280 rpm and gives a maximum torque of 1900 Nm.

CONTROL PANEL
Central control of all drilling operations, incl flush
pump, wireline hoist and boom tilt. The hydraulic
panel is available in two versions:

• Standard for 55 kW (88 kW diesel)

• MaxTorque for 90 kW (120 kW diesel)

”ROD RUNNER” – ROD RUNNING PANEL

The panel weighs 3 kgs, is mounted on a tripod and

can easily be moved to a suitable position in the vi-
cinity of the drill. From the “ROD RUNNER” the op-
erator controls the rod running up and down the hole
as well as make up of the rods. Especially suited for
one-man operations. ”ROD RUNNER”
