DB 0/0.7

Due to very small size the DB 0/0.7 rig is most suitable for drilling at difficult access areas. This rig is made for mud rotary and auger dril-ling applications.

The DB 0/0.7 consists of the drilling rig itself plus a separate hydraulic power pack. Dimensions ( cm ): 76 x 72 x 276. The weight is 200 kg + 90 kg for the power pack.

In auger drilling execution the rig is available as limited space edition with a total height of not more than 2,0 m. Then it is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder fitted to the top end of the mast thus enabling to anchor the rig tight to the ceiling.

Typical jobs for this rig are:

-         Mud drilling for garden wells and small irrigation wells

-         Auger drilling for soil sampling and detection of misfire/ ammunition

In mud drilling execution a special lightweight drill pipe exclusively designed for this rig comes into operation. The large diameter of this pipe called NS 80/98 enables a better up flow velocity of the mud. On the one hand the cuttings find their way up to the surface more easily, on the other it can be used as casing for inserting well pipes up to 2” diameter without danger of caving in.

The pipe boxes are equipped with breaking lugs fitting exactly into the mechanical clamp for easy pipe screwing and unscrewing.

The separate power pack comprises an efficient oil filter system, high oil volume and reliable Honda engine for long lasting usage.

The mud pump offered through Nordmeyer Geotool again is driven by a Honda engine but other suitable pumps can be used as well.
