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.

  • Atlas Copco’s new COP 4038 drill is most powerful on market
    November 29, 2013
    Atlas Copco has launched the most powerful rock drill currently on the market. The COP 4038 is a 40kW machine operating at a frequency of 140Hz compared with the 117Hz of the COP 3038. Designed for tunnelling and drifting in the hole at 43–64mm, the COP 4038 is an extremely advanced unit. High frequency technology is said by Atlas Copco to be utilised so that instead of simply striking the drill steel harder, the piston strikes at a higher frequency, resulting in faster penetration without increased stress
