“This launch is a major step forward in our mission to drive the productivity and sustainability transformation in our industry,” said Bahadir Ergener, global business manager at Epiroc Tools division. “By extending tool life and improving drilling accuracy, our new Epiroc PCD bits help customers drill smarter, safer and more efficiently.”

The new bits are compatible with a wide range of Epiroc drilling rigs and are available in multiple sizes and configurations to suit various applications in surface mining, underground development and construction drilling.

As the mining and construction industries face increasing pressure to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, the new PCD technology from Epiroc supports this shift by enabling longer drilling intervals, fewer tool replacements and reduced waste.

Fewer bit changes not only reduce waste and downtime – they also contribute to Live Work Elimination, helping operators avoid unnecessary exposure to high-risk environments and reinforcing our commitment to safety and sustainable productivity.

“This is not just a product upgrade – it’s a performance leap and, in my view, the beginning of a technology shift in the percussive rock drilling industry,” said Fredrik Ternström, marketing communication manager at Epiroc Tools division. “Our customers can expect more meters drilled per bit, better hole quality and lower total cost of ownership.”

The new Epiroc PCD drill bits are available to order globally from today through Epiroc Customer Centers.
