Angles of 0-90⁰ with Thyssenkrupp’s tk-DM30 drilling rig

The latest addition to Thyssenkrupp’s range of drilling equipment is the excavator-mounted tk-DM30 drilling rig. The tk-DM30’s strong mast optimises performance in a wide range of ground conditions and is suitable for frequencies up to 130Hz. Importantly, the rig allows drilling at all angles from 0-90°, essentially from horizontal to vertical, including underneath the excavator. The rig is specially designed for vibro-drills, very large hammer drills and double-head drills. These achieve high penetration

Thyssenkrupp’s tk-DM30 drilling rig can bore even under the excavator

The latest addition to 8765 Thyssenkrupp’s range of drilling equipment is the excavator-mounted tk-DM30 drilling rig.

The tk-DM30’s strong mast optimises performance in a wide range of ground conditions and is suitable for frequencies up to 130Hz.

Importantly, the rig allows drilling at all angles from 0-90°, essentially from horizontal to vertical, including underneath the excavator. The rig is specially designed for vibro-drills, very large hammer drills and double-head drills. These achieve high penetration rates in overburden drilling, lost-tip drilling, micropile and core drilling.

The drilling rigs are equipped with Thyssenkrupp hammer drills, Thyssenkrupp rotary heads or Thyssenkrupp VibroDrills.

    The latest developments in drilling rigs can help boost efficiency in quarry producion applications - Mike Woof reports. Efficient drilling and blasting operations can have a huge impact on production costs in quarrying. Accuracy of hole direction and depth, as well as optimum blast design and explosives use, are critical for efficient blasting work. Ineffective blasting can result in high quantities of fines of low commercial value as well as over-sized material requiring secondary breaking. This impacts o
