Accessories for Drilling Additives

Hydraulic Mixer
Fordia’s hydraulic mud mixers are built tough for durability and reliability. On all drilling sites, mud mixers are an essential tool for obtaining a perfect blend of drilling additives. This blend must be a homogenous mix of mud and water to maximize the lubricating properties of the additives so that the down-the-hole drilling equipment is protected effectively.

 

Viscosity Funnel
This conical-shaped funnel (also known as a Marsh Funnel) has a small bore tube on the bottom end and is used to measure the time it takes for drilling mud to pass through it. It is standardized for use in diamond drilling to check the quality of drilling mud and to ensure that the mix is optimal.

 

pH Indicator Strips
Optimize and economize on the use of your drilling additives with Fordia’s new pH indicator strips. These non-bleeding strips are ideal for the mineral exploration market and test the full 0 – 14 pH range.

 

Testing and adjusting the pH levels of water prior to the use of Fordia additives ensures your mix has a smoother consistency and enhanced viscosity so that you get better performance and less waste of additive products.

 

The strips are easy to read, provide sharp and clear colour graduations and do not bleed even in strong alkaline solutions. Each package comes with 100 strips.

 

  • Ensures additives produce a smoother consistency of mix and better viscosity
  • Performance of additive products is improved
  • Less waste of additive product
  • Reduction of expenses

We are happy to announce that as of August 2, 2021, all Canadian Fordia offices will be making drill rigs available to their customers. In an earlier blog this year, we announced that drill rigs would be available for sale in the USA and that proved to be successful, so Canada will now join the USA in adding drill rigs to their portfolio of drilling equipment for the mineral exploration industry.

The mineral exploration industry has seen a lot of change in the last few years. One of the most common challenges is finding employees. Between the cyclic nature of the industry and the recent pandemic, many experienced drillers have left and replacing them has been difficult for many companies.

At the beginning of the year, we decided to update our popular eGuides so our customers would have the latest and greatest information. We started with our most popular guide on choosing the right core bit and are now in the process of taking each guide and updating its information to represent the many changes that have occurred over the last few years.

Customer service is our priority.
