• The Rock Drill

    The Peterstow Rock Drill is a closed-loop water hydraulic powered drill which has been designed for use in hard rock mining operations.

  • Features Benefits
    Closed-loop technology which operates on normal tap water Environmentally kind and clean technology which reduces water consumption and water wastage and allows for a more efficient transfer of power to the drill steel
    No oil or harmful chemicals in the closed loop system No risk of pollution from the flushing water or leaks from the hoses
    Installing Peterstow technology eliminates the need for much of the underground infrastructure required for competing technologies Reduction in capital costs and savings in operational costs through lower electricity and water consumption
    No oil misting or noxious fumes and reduced electrical hazards and fire risks Better health and safety conditions underground
    Minimal release of airborne dust and low level of operating noise Reduced air and noise pollution levels
    Compact and designed to be rig mounted Portable, manoeuvrable and low risk of a handling injury
    Robust, modular design Quick and easy to maintain with no special tools or skills required and therefore less downtime
    Test results have proven a fast drilling speed and constantly high performance Our programme of ongoing development ensures maximum power to weight efficiency levels are maintained
