The Termite Description / Construction

The basic Drill Frame is constructed of two hydraulic Feed Cylinders and two square tubes (1). These are connected at both ends by the Connection Plates. The Front Connection Plate is also designed to hold the Front Rod Puller (5) and the two Mounting Screws (6). The Mounting Tube (7) for the Back Support Leg is located on the Rear Connection Plate.

The Drive Spindle (4) and Hydraulic Motor (3) are mounted on the Carrier Plate that swings out to let rods or core barrels in or out of the hole without having to pass through the Chuck. Also on the back end of this Carrier Plate is a mounting for the rear Rod Puller (9). The power to the Spindle from the Hydraulic Motor is transmitted via belt drive — a very effective, smooth, low maintenance, and quiet power transmission system.

The drill is operated from a separate Control Panel (2). The Control Panel can be separated from the drill by disconnecting it at the Bulkhead (10). A separate small Hydraulic Pump is mounted on the back end of the Rotation Motor. This unit supplies the hydraulics needed for drill feed. The feed speed is regulated at the exit of the cylinders. Because of this configuration, feed pressure and feed speed is unaffected by the prevailing system pressure. Therefore the speed will not change when drilling a void or into an opening.

Two removable Wheels (8) are mounted on the bottom of the Frame for easy Termite transportation. A Support (11) for rod wrenches is located on the Carrier. This protects the piston rods when breaking rod connections with wrenches.
