Customer Testimonial

Atlas Drilling Ltd. of Kamloops B.C., a valued customer, recently converted three of their EF hydraulic drills to our belt drive, HC5000 rotation head. Repair and maintenance costs, and associated downtime drove that decision. Over the course of this year, our customer's experience with the HC5000 rotation head has been excellent. Here's what Jamie Lyons, co-owner of Atlas Drilling, had to say about their experience.

The changeover was seamless, with a big improvement in reliability.

Shift productivity increased, with zero downtime, drill crews were impressed with the rotation head reliability. Jamie mentioned that previously, he would have replaced two EF heads during this time frame.

Hole depths in excess of 1,100 meters of HWL, without issue.

The value proposition is more apparent when operating in remote, difficult access areas. The Hydracore 5000 rotation head comes with a large bent axial, variable displacement hydraulic motor, that has sufficient speed and torque range to eliminate the need for a gear box. With no gears, oil lubrication, or chuck release bearing, maintenance costs are reduced, and, our rotation head can be retrofitted to all commonly used hydraulic drills.

Hydracore is confident in the reliability, and cost savings of our proven rotation head. Three month demonstration units are available to qualifying candidates for field testing. Please review our product offering at
