Carousel Rod Changer
Fast. Strong. Dependable.
To improve your overall productivity, our new carousel rod changer significantly reduces rod change time. Additionally the carousel is supported by a sturdy feed and the extension boom allowing for large pattern coverage so fewer set ups are required. Unlike linear alternatives, our carousel rod changer weighs less and holds more rods, allowing the boom extension to reach further and drill deeper while maintaining stability. The feed and carousel rod changer can accommodate multiple lengths and diameters of drill steel.Sturdy Boom and Feed Support the Carousel Rod Changer
- The 2.4 m (8 ft) boom extends an additional 0.9 m (3 ft) for larger pattern coverage with fewer set ups
- The boom swing capability is 9° L to 29° R for wide pattern coverage
- Heavy-duty boom is constructed of thick square tubing with steel plate reinforcements in key areas to add strength
- Feed table is 2.7 m (9 ft) with a 0.9 m (3 ft) extension. It resists torsion and thrust loads due to high strength steel channels with diagonal internal bracing.
- A new, patented, hose tensioning method keeps hoses on the drum, sheaves are used to prolong long hose life and a feed chain auto-tensioner feature reduces adjustment time
- Feed wear pads are replaceable with patent pending adjusters
- Planetary gearbox feed drive is capable of 4354 kg (9,600 lb) feed force and 36.9 mpm (121 fpm) speed
- LED lighting on the feed illuminates the carousel and hole site for around the clock drilling
