The 2 Speed Rotation Head can accept all sizes of coring rods up to PQ. Patented chuck jaws and hydraulic opening/spring close function insures a fail-safe operation. The Rotation Head is connected direct to the hydraulic feed cylinder which simplifies the whole mast design and minimizes maintenance. The Rotation Head also slides off to the side and opens the whole mast up to run casing or pull tubes etc.
2. MAST
The Rigid design of the mast provides superior performance and reliability even under the toughest geological conditions. The set-up controls are mounted at the side of the rig and can be isolated from the circuit during drilling operations. The Mast raise cylinders are equipped with balancing valves to increase safety. The folding mast allows the rig to be transported on short trailers or in a shipping container. The Dump Mast reaches the ground at angles up to 45degrees and ensures all the pullback forces are absorbed by the ground and not the rig.
3. CONTROL PANEL
When the rig is shutdown or being transported the Control Panel can be locked to prevent damage or vandalism. Both the Rotation and Fine Feed controls are fitted with friction dampeners with positive and easy to find neutral positions. There is an auto alarm function for low level of hydraulic oil. All the gauges are conveniently located for ease of monitoring.
4. HOOD:
The steel hood provides adequate protection from the elements yet opens up for ease of maintenance.
5. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
All the hydraulic pumps are genuine Variable Displacement, Pressure Compensated, Load Sensed Sauer Dan-foss Piston pumps.
6. MAIN HAUL WINCH:
The Haul Winch is securely mounted central to the rig chassis.
7. WIRELINE WINCH:
The Wireline Winch has auto spooling and 2000 metres capacity.
8. CRAWLER CHASSIS:
The Crawler chassis is manufactured in house and has quality Korean sourced hydraulic drive motors.
9. MUD PUMP:
The 1000psi mud pump is conveniently locatedat the front of the rig for ease of maintenance but high enough to allow a descent angle of attack when traversing creek beds.
10. FOOT CLAMP:
The new design foot clamp, stronger and safer. The range from BQ to PQ.
