Concrete drilling made E-Z

E-Z Drill is now introducing its Model 210 Equipment-Mounted concrete drill attachment series. Consisting of three models: the three-gang Model 210-3 EQ MT, four-gang Model 210-4 EQ MT and five-gang Model 210-5 EQ MT, the range is said to be compatible with most backhoe loaders and excavators.

Increased productivity is claimed for EZ Drill's new model range

2976 E-Z Drill is now introducing its Model 210 Equipment-Mounted concrete drill attachment series. Consisting of three models: the three-gang Model 210-3 EQ MT, four-gang Model 210-4 EQ MT and five-gang Model 210-5 EQ MT, the range is said to be compatible with most backhoe loaders and excavators.

The pneumatic drills are said to deliver high productivity and lower maintenance needs, suiting them to full-depth road repair and patching projects.

A control panel is mounted on the drill and the units are capable of drilling 15.9- 63.5mm diameter holes, at a depth of 457mm. Each individual drill motor requires a minimum of 2.8 m3/min for operation, with a minimum of 8.4 m3/min required to power the smallest unit in the series, the three-gang Model 210-3 EQ MT.  To reduce air compressor requirements, an optional air tank is available.

The 210 EQ MT drills feature a side-shift control and unlike some units, the carrier operator is not required to position the drill in the exact location. The drill must simply be placed in close proximity to the specified drilling area, then can be quickly and easily adjusted to the target location using the control panel.

The side-shift feature further boosts productivity by allowing a second set of holes to be drilled without the need to move the drill or carrier machine, as long as holes are specified on 305mm centers. The operator can set the drill spacing at 610mm, drill one set of holes, and engage the side-shift. The unit will quickly and precisely move 305mm to drill the second set, all without repositioning the drill or carrier. Drill spacing is adjustable up to 610mm, and the drills offer lateral travel up to 356mm.

To reduce operator effort and increase productivity, the drills feature a floating bucket curl pin. By providing the pin with a small range of motion, the drill automatically levels itself, eliminating the tedious and time-consuming process of manually levelling and positioning the drill with each movement.

The 210 EQ MT drills also feature 360° rotation, which allows quick repositioning and includes a safety swivel lock. Other features boost durability and extend service life. Multi-point oil injection allows each drill to be lubricated individually from a single reservoir. An automatic drill shut-off further extends individual drill life by preventing dry-firing.

    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
