Technical precision defines the S215 Rockdrill. Designed specifically for the rigours of South African stoping conditions, this lightweight machine is optimised for manipulation in low stoping heights without sacrificing drilling speed. As an OEM, NASA Engineering SA ensures that every internal valve and piston is machined to micron-level tolerances at our Alrode facility. This high-performance jackhammer provides the reliability needed for consistent production cycles in both mining and civil engineering stitch hole drilling.

Local manufacturing is more than a logistical preference; it is a strategic economic shield. NASA Engineering SA produces the S215 Rockdrill in South Africa, ensuring full compliance with the SADC Trade Protocol and AfCFTA. This allows for duty-free movement of equipment across the region, providing our clients in Botswana, Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe with a cost-effective alternative to expensive international imports. By meeting the strict Rules of Origin, we pass direct savings and price stability to our partners.

Early detection of mechanical distress can save thousands in repair costs for your NASA S36IR Independent Rotation Motor. If your operators report unusual noise, the motor should be hand-tested immediately. Resistance during manual rotation often signals internal grit or bearing damage. Our Alrode workshop provides full discard analysis to uncover the underlying causes of component wear.
