HIGH PRESSURE - GREATER PENETRATION

The DR500 series offers operating pressures up to 34,5 bar (500 psi) which are especially important in drilling in hard rock as they maximize the penetration rate. Conversely, when drilling in softer rock or broken ground, its a huge benefit to have a big air volume available for flushing the hole. The operator can select high pressure/low air volume or lower pressure/high air volume on a switch in the DR500 cabin, while drilling, in order to maximize his drilling needs.

DR500 ADDED ADVANTAGES Fully independent track oscillation for high mobility on uneven terrain, such as climbing ramps in quarries, down sloped ground and across narrow mine benches to put the drill precisely where it is needed. DR500 drills are excellent performers in pioneering in Greenfield new mine projects where they have great flexibility of ingress and egress over rugged terrain and provide good ground control in the development of new mines. The independent boom-mounted cab can be leveled and swung to the optimum location allowing the driller to work in comfort a safer distance from the working end and away from sheer walls. An external Auxiliary Maintenance Station is located on the carrier behind the cabin that allows operation of the drill for tramming and feed operation of the boom for positioning and drilling functions. This gives the machine the versatility to be controlled outside away from the cab in emergency cases or for special applications.
