| The Derrick |
| The derrick is fabricated from hollow drawn steel tube and hot rolled sections. The
feed cylinder has a 6,5 metre stroke and is coupled to an inner derrick which carries the
rotary head. |
|
Rotary Head etc |
| The rotary head consists of a single high torque rotary motor coupled to an air swivel
with extra heavy duty bearings which takes all forces produced during drilling operations.
The bull shaft on the air swivel has a 3,5" API thread to which the drill string is
attached. A built-in shock absorber on the head minimizes vibration and shock loads to the
machine and drill string. A hydraulic 2 speed system is fitted as a standard to all
machines. The rotary head is fitted to an inner derrick which runs inside the outer
derrick on 6 heavy duty tyres which almost eliminates all wear. |
| Hydraulic Outriggers
|
| Four hydraulic outriggers are fitted to the outer corners of the rig for easy and
accurate leveling of the rig. |
| Hydraulic Cylinders
|
| Twin hydraulic cylinders are used to raise and lower the derrick and to lock it in for
angle drilling operations. |
| Control Panel
|
| All hydraulic controls are fitted into a single panel in front of the operator making
the operation of the machine very easy and simple even for unskilled operators. A finger tip down feed valve is fitted to ensure even pressures during drilling
operations. |
| Working Table
|
| The working table is fitted with removable half ring guide collar locks, which when
removed, allows 250mm diameter tools or augers to pass through. Guide bushes are supplied
to suit the drill string. |
| Power Pack
|
| The power pack consists of a 6 cylinder Deutz diesel engine, close coupled to a 3 stage
positive displacement gear pump. All necessary air, fuel and oil filters are fitted. |
| Tools
|
| Keeper keys and rod handling tools are supplied to suit the drill string. |
| Break Out Cylinder
|
| A breakout hydraulic cylinder is fitted to facilitate the breaking of hammers and drill
rods. |
| Lubrication
|
|
A 10 litre in line oil lubricator for DTH hammers is fitted as standard.

COMMENTS - ADVANTAGES
|
|
This is a light but very robust and maintenance free machine ideally suited for
African and 3rd World conditions. The derrick has no cables, chains, pulleys or sprockets that wear out
and break at the most untimely situations. The rotation head movement or stroke is 6,5
metres, enabling 6 metre rods and casings to be easily handled.
The "Rockdrill 1000" is a very simple and easy machine to
operate making it ideal for unskilled operators. Being designed in South Africa, Patented
and Manufactured with over 200 machines running in the Mining, Exploration, Water Well and
Piling Industries has proved that the "Rockdrill 1000"a popular
and robust machine.
