Unlike rival technologies, our Oil Free Hydraulic system eliminates the need for much of the underground infrastructure essential to traditional hard rock drilling processes.
For example, installing Peterstow Aquapower equipment offers the potential to dispense with compressors and compressed air reticulation columns and at the very least, reduce their number.
The saving in the capital costs is an obvious and immediate benefit of embracing this new technology but even more compelling is the ability to make significant ongoing savings in operational costs through reduced energy consumption.
The closed-loop design reduces water usage and ensures a more efficient transfer of power to the drill steel. It also reduces water wastage and flooding which is particularly important in the hostile environments where our products are designed to be used. Less flooding allows for the reduction of pumping facilities which in turn results in further savings in capital and operational costs.
