Increased productivity is claimed for EZ Drill's new model range
A control panel is mounted on the drill and the units are capable of drilling 15.9- 63.5mm diameter holes, at a depth of 457mm. Each individual drill motor requires a minimum of 2.8 m3/min for operation, with a minimum of 8.4 m3/min required to power the smallest unit in the series, the three-gang Model 210-3 EQ MT. To reduce air compressor requirements, an optional air tank is available.
The 210 EQ MT drills feature a side-shift control and unlike some units, the carrier operator is not required to position the drill in the exact location. The drill must simply be placed in close proximity to the specified drilling area, then can be quickly and easily adjusted to the target location using the control panel.
The side-shift feature further boosts productivity by allowing a second set of holes to be drilled without the need to move the drill or carrier machine, as long as holes are specified on 305mm centers. The operator can set the drill spacing at 610mm, drill one set of holes, and engage the side-shift. The unit will quickly and precisely move 305mm to drill the second set, all without repositioning the drill or carrier. Drill spacing is adjustable up to 610mm, and the drills offer lateral travel up to 356mm.
To reduce operator effort and increase productivity, the drills feature a floating bucket curl pin. By providing the pin with a small range of motion, the drill automatically levels itself, eliminating the tedious and time-consuming process of manually levelling and positioning the drill with each movement.
The 210 EQ MT drills also feature 360° rotation, which allows quick repositioning and includes a safety swivel lock. Other features boost durability and extend service life. Multi-point oil injection allows each drill to be lubricated individually from a single reservoir. An automatic drill shut-off further extends individual drill life by preventing dry-firing.
