The F1000
and the F2000
are both designed and built by Falcon Drilling and are
diesel powered hydraulic type. Drills are powered with
either a 4 cylinder Isuzu turbo diesel (100Hp) or a 6
cylinder Isuzu turbo diesel (150HP). A hydraulic system,
driven by the engine, is used to ensure maximum
efficiency and productivity, minimum down time and simple
operation. The drill has a 5 foot stroke for maximum core
recovery and production. A hydraulically powered pressure
pump is used for hole flushing, bit cooling and pumping
Bentonite or Polymer down the drill hole.
The machine consists of four main components: engine,
hydraulic pack, feed frame including the drill head, the
feed frame base including the wire line winch. The drill
is designed to be quickly disassembled into the four
components and moved easily with a light helicopter such
as the Hughes 500D or Bell 206.
In
addition to
our own F1, F1000 and F2000 drills, other equipment such
as the Boyles BBS56 and Long Year 38 are also available
for even deeper drilling requirements.
