LS-100
Portable Mud Rotary Drill Rig
|
The LS-100 is the first fully MAN PORTABLE rotary drilling machine
designed to drill 6 inch diameter boreholes to depths equal to & greater then 100 feet. |
The LS-100 is presently being used in 25 countries around the world to
expedite relief efforts and provide clean drinking water in drought stricken areas.
Because of its unique design and simple parts, the LS-100 has
many advantages including that it:
- is inexpensive
- weighs 850 lbs and can be easily taken apart and carried or transported by pick-up truck,
trailer or animal to areas inaccessible to larger rigs.
- is capable of being assembled in minutes
- is easy to maintain
- can be operated by 1 person with minimal
Training.
Key Components of the LS-100 include:
- drill frame with drilling table and stabilizer bars: acts as structural support for drilling
equipment
- power head: the drill pipe (1.25 inch dia.) and drill bit are rotated by a 5-HP
Gas or 4.5-HP Diesel engine with a 25:1 gear reduction transmission and a centrifugal clutch.
- water entry swivel: used to channel drilling fluid down the rotating drill pipe
- drill pipe: hollow, strengthened steel pipe that channels drilling mud down to the bit.
- drill bit: the cutting tool attached to the end of the drill pipe that allows the drill to bore a hole
through soil and rock.
Also needed is a mud pump (5-HP Gas
or 4.5-HP Diesel engine drives a 2-inch Monarch pump) to
circulate mud down the drill bit and back up to mud pits. Without this separate piece of
equipment, the drill rig cannot be used for conventional "Mud Rotary"
Drilling.
