Having been present for several years in the mining operations of Aljustrel and Neves Corvo with Sandvik equipment, and following their experience and productivity gains of using a Sandvik Underground Loader equipped with a Rammer Extension Carriage, "EC", EPDM stated the interest in the acquisition of a new set to apply to be used on their Sandvik LH514.
As Rammer is one of the world's leading manufacturers of these spindle assembling systems, and with several units working in Portugal, namely in the mines in Aljustrel and Neves Corvo, EPDM, has acquired another Rammer EC 80 unit with Rammer Hammer 5011.
