DR-12
Dual Rotary Drill
The DR-12 is a light, yet powerful PTO rig popular among domestic water well contractors drilling in moderate to severe overburden. It will handle casing up to 12″ (305 mm) in diameter, and has been field tested to depths beyond 550 ft (168 m) for a typical 6″ (152 mm) cased well.
The DR-12 is available with an optional pipe tub, single pipe loader arm and telescopic casing jib. The configuration accommodates diverse site conditions.
FEATURES
Since acquiring the Dual Rotary technology from Barber Industries in 1993, Foremost has continually updated, refined and expanded the DR line with the goal of enhancing its functionality and extending its range of applications. Today, Foremost offers several DR models, each packed with features that deliver heightened safety, productivity, and profitability across a variety of drilling activities.
CYCLONE COLLECTOR
The optional cyclone sample collecting system slows discharge velocity to allow accurate and continuous sampling of the formation.
DISCHARGE SWIVEL
All drill cuttings rise to the surface between the drill pipe and casing, and exit through the discharge swivel attached to the top of the casing. The discharge swivel directs cuttings to a safe dumping point or to an optional cyclone collection system.
CASING SHOE
A carbide-studded casing shoe is welded to the casing bottom. The shoe I.D. is flush with the casing I.D. so that there is no reduction in the bore hole diameter when switching to open-hole drilling.
