Underground core drill rig Explorac235
Explorac reverse circulation drilling rigs were developed in cooperation with exploration professionals. Every component has been carefully designed to provide excellent drilling results and to meet demands from contractors, miners and geologists – while ensuring operator safety and minimum environmental impact.
The Explorac 235 rig meets all the challenges of exploration with reverse circulation. While designed specifically for reverse circulation drilling to depths of 300-400 meters, the rig can easily be adapted for other down-the-hole drilling.
The Explorac 235 rig is available for assembly on a truck or crawler chassis.

air system is prepared for external booster connection up to 70 bars.
Control panel
The user-friendly control panel can be positioned up to 10meters from the rig providing safety and visibility. The display shows all information parameters and warnings for the
power pack, compressor and hydraulic system.
Cyclone
It features an integrated cyclone and sample collection system, allowing continuous, sampling with little or no pause in the drilling process. A three-tier splitter is fitted as standard
under the cyclone for efficient sample collection. Other splitter options are also available.
