Surface Shallow Water Swivel

The Shallow water swivel has an impressive 14,000-pound load capacity, almost triple its predecessor, the 5K model.

The Shallow water swivel is suitable for holes up to x840 meters in depth in N size, and up to 558 meters in depth in H size.

With this capacity, the Shallow covers most hole depths in the N size, meaning most drillers will only need one water swivel for drilling projects.

Proven design based on popular favourite
Durable ceramic layer over spindle

Core Sampling in Geotechnical Drilling

Solutions for Geotechnical and Environmental Exploration

In most geotechnical and environmental drilling, augers are used to drill in the majority of projects. However, the need still arises to perform core sampling for certain geotechnical projects, usually when the presence of bedrock needs to be confirmed. An auger or split spoon will not be able to enter the bedrock so drillers have to use core sampling methods to be able to penetrate and obtain a core sample.

Extending Bit Life

Mineral Exploration

Getting the longest life possible for your core matrix is a key consideration if you want to run a productive and profitable drilling operation. Changing a drill bit takes time especially the farther down the hole it is, and the time spent replacing a bit is not productive.
