Montabert HC Series hydraulic drifters represent pillar of drilling industry
For years, known and respected drill manufacturers worldwide have relied on Montabert HC Series hydraulic drifters to power their specialized aboveground and underground drilling machines.
Montabert offers a variety of hydraulic drifter models and configurations to match the hydraulic performance of a specific carrier — skid-steer loader, backhoe loader or excavator — as well as the conventional top hammer drilling application — bolting, benching tunneling or long hole. Due to this versatility, Montabert hydraulic drifters conform to OEM requirements and can be adapted to most drills in the marketplace.
Widely recognized for their extended service intervals and low tool consumption, Montabert hydraulic drifters control the impact and rotation of the drill bit — delivering high drill performance, including straight hole drilling.
The hydraulic drifters’ unique piston design generates progressive blow energy, improving bit penetration and the transmission of energy at the couplings — minimizing stress within the drilling rods, as well.
Additional features include a hydraulic dampening system that absorbs reflected energy while ensuring constant energy to the tool and an energy recovery valve that applies piston rebound energy to the subsequent blow — both protecting the hydraulic drifter and tools from damage.
An optional hydraulic reverse percussion system enables true back hammering. This added feature allows operators to extract tools from fragmented ground and rest assured that no rods have been left in the hole.
