The shank lubrication system on the DD2710 delivers oil to the RDX5 drifter's shank adapter interface—the most mechanically stressed lubrication point on the jumbo. Norwegian underground operations add a specific challenge to this system that d...

A DD2710 development jumbo has more than a dozen hydraulic cylinders across the boom, feed, carrier, and canopy systems—each with its own seal kit containing the specific piston seal, rod seal, wiper, and O-ring profile for that cylinder's bore...

The DD2710 carries multiple hydraulic accumulators that serve different functions across the machine. The percussion circuit accumulators buffer the percussion pump's flow demand peaks. The boom function accumulators provide pressure support during r...

The DD2710's hydraulic tank is a component that rarely gets attention until something goes wrong—and when it goes wrong in Finnish underground operations, the consequences are disproportionate to the attention it doesn't receive. At Agnico Eagl...

The DD2710's boom lift cylinder raises and lowers the B26F boom to position the feed beam at the correct vertical angle for each drill hole in the face pattern. At Agnico Eagle's Kittilä gold mine in Finnish Lapland—where development headi...

The boom swing cylinder on the DD2710 moves the entire B26F boom assembly laterally—repositioning between the left and right sides of the face pattern and covering the full cross-section width that the telescopic extension alone can't reach. In...

The feed swing cylinder positions the TF512 feed beam in the horizontal plane—swinging it left or right from the boom centerline to cover the full width of the development face pattern. In German Autobahn tunnel construction through the Swabian...

The control valve block assembly on the DD2710 is the hydraulic brain of the jumbo—it routes hydraulic flow to every actuator on the rig (boom lift, swing, telescope, feed, rotation, percussion) through a manifold of directional control valves ...

Germany's underground coal and potash mining—K+S Group's Werra potash mines in Hesse, and RAG's remaining deep hard-coal operations in the Ruhr—operates Sandvik DD2710 jumbos in heading profiles that require the B26F telescopic boom to re...
