The Atlas Copco BBC 16W is a 60 lb-class pneumatic stoper rock drill from Atlas Copco's rock-drill line, used for upward-hole drift driving, rock-bolt holes, and overhead anchor work in underground mines and tunnels. Key specs include 2,340 BPM impact rate, 147 CFM at 90 PSI. Mining and tunneling crews specify the Atlas Copco BBC 16W for the Atlas Copco parts pipeline and field-service support.
- 60 lb-class stoper-configured pneumatic rock drill from Atlas Copco's rock-drill line, built for sustained upward-hole drift driving and rock-bolt drilling.
- Rated 2,340 BPM, 73 lb tool weight for balanced impact across production drilling and rock-bolting work.
- Consumes 147 CFM at 90 PSI, runs on standard contractor compressor circuits.
- A 185-CFM compressor supports single-tool operation; larger 185-CFM and 375-CFM units run multiple drills on the same circuit.
- Percussion-plus-rotation pneumatic motor with 2-3/4 in. piston bore by 2-1/8 in. stroke for high impact-per-blow energy through the drill chuck.
- Available in dry and wet (water-flush) configurations; wet variants add through-the-steel water injection for cuttings removal and dust suppression.
- Built for drift driving, rock-bolt installation in mine and tunnel roofs, and overhead anchor-bolt hole drilling when paired with a pusher leg.
- Underground mining and tunneling crews specify it for face-drilling and overhead bolt-hole work paired with a matching pusher leg.
- Crowder Supply stocks drill steels, bits, replacement chucks, pistons, and seal kits for the Atlas Copco BBC 16W platform.
- Atlas Copco is a Swedish manufacturer of mining and construction tools with one of the longest pneumatic rock-drilling pedigrees in the industry.
