JT2020 MACH 1 DIRECTIONAL DRILLS

The 83-hp (62 kW) JT2020 packs 20,000 pounds of pulling power and the highest ratio of power to size in its class. This well-balanced, powerful drill is engineered with a one-step anchoring system for quick setup and a groundbreaking pipeloader that allows column selection from the operator's station.

JT3020 MACH 1 DIRECTIONAL DRILLS

Introducing the JT3020. One of the roughest, toughest directional drills ever made. Because when the ground gets tough, the JT3020's 148-hp turbocharged diesel engine gets tougher. Yet with all of this power, the engine is amazingly quiet—with less noise than engines even a fraction of its size. 

JT4020 MACH 1 DIRECTIONAL DRILLS
With its specialized, 15-ft (4.5 m) drill pipe, the rubber-tracked JT4020 Mach 1 has the power and stability to pull multiple conduits up to 1000 feet (305 m) in a single pass—assisted by an exclusive cruise control feature that maintains thrust and rotation settings.

BM500

A COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR LARGER DIAMETER PIPES RANGING FROM 419MM TO 980MM

The BM 500 is the right choice if you need a powerful solution for accurate installation of 419mm OD to 980mm OD product pipes. Large diameter pipe jacking with respect to the forces involved requires an adequate guidance system. The BM 500 solution is an auger/steel casing combination with a patented pilot-auger. While conventional pilot pipes require displaceable soil, the BM 500 excavates material by means of an auger during the pilot-bore. The advantages are that the same set of augers and steel casings can be used for the complete diameter range. Changing the diameter of the product pipes requires only the replacement of the extension kit.

METHOD OF OPERATION

1. The machine is set up to the correct direction and gradient of the drive. A separate subframe simplifies this step: The sub-frame is adjusted and secured in place and then the BM500 is simply lowered onto the locating points on the sub-frame.

2. The theodolite with the special CCD-camera must be precisely adjusted to the pre-set boring axis.

3. Controlled auger drilling is carried out using steel casings, augers with optical path and a patented pilot auger head. The hollow augers allow a continuous observation of the target installed in the auger boring head.

4. When the guided auger bore is completed, an extension kit with a direct drive engine is coupled to the steel casings. This engine reverses the rotation of the augers allowing the excavated material to travel to the reception shaft whilst the product pipes are jacked in from the launch shaft.
