Concrete drill rigs - overview of types
Every construction company: installation, roadworks, encounters the problem of drilling through:
- ceilings,
- walls,
- concrete circles
- heavily reinforced elements
- flooring,
- facades
- granite
- marble
- refractory materials,
- hard stoneware tiles, etc.
The natural standard options are sds+ or sds max drills, whose speed and power as well as ease of use are well known. However, all these advantages lose their dimension when encountering reinforced concrete or other hard materials.
The only and best solution in such cases is to use concrete drilling machines.
It is a non-impact, dust-free, quiet technique that allows perfect holes to be obtained in any material. It is a technique that has no limits, the amount and type of reinforcement are not the slightest problem for concrete drilling machines, working of course with diamond drills. (Read about the principles of diamond drill drilling here)
To many potential customers, a diamond concrete drill rig appears expensive to purchase. However, this is a false impression: concrete drill rigs and diamond drills are more expensive to buy but much cheaper and more efficient to operate compared to conventional fork drills.
CONCRETE DRILL RIGS allow drilling holes from 6mm-1500mm, depending on the needs and application we divide them into concrete drill rigs with electric drive or concrete drill rigs with hydraulic drive. Each concrete drill rig includes a stand + motor, the motors and their powers depend on the range of diameters in which they are to work.
The standard electric motors used in concrete drill rigs range from: 1300W - 7500W.
In the case of the weakest, smallest motors, it is possible to drill without a stand, so-called "hand-held drilling". Each concrete drill is equipped with a stand, which allows for stable drilling and significantly increases the speed of work and the service life of the drill. Drilling with a concrete drill is carried out wet in the 90%, this causes the excavated material to be washed out during drilling and cools the diamond drill bit, this has a significant effect on improving the service life of the diamond drill bit used in concrete drill rigs.
Concrete drill rigs offered by our company include brands such as :
- AGP
- CORE POWER TOOLS
- WEKA (world leader in drilling rigs)
Of course, in the offer of Astar Diamond Tools you will find professional diamond drills of all diameters new and reconditioned. Concrete drills and diamond drills are available from stock.
