Multipurpose geothermal drill rig model GEO-MAX 840

We are pleased to introduce our high performance multipurpose geothermal drill rig model GEO-MAX 840 on a Caterpillar track mobile. The main advantages of GM840 are its extreme maneuverability, pullback capacity of 42000 lbs (19050 kg), hydraulic power of 220 HP, Double head designed specifically for Geothermal overburden drilling and a unique rod handling system. These features enable GM840 to easily access almost any type of difficult terrain, and give it enough power to drill in every type of mixed ground conditions (overburden / hard rock).

Some important features include:

1) Rotary Drive: Double head EURODRILL model DH1900; Integrated dual-head designed specifically for Geothermal overburden drilling, where both, Casing and Drilling Rod operate at the same time. Counter-clockwise operation of the Casing and Drilling Rod Gears significantly increases drilling efficiency and precision, preventing an inadvertent release of rod and casing during the pipe feeding and discharging.

2) Robot arm, equipped with double clamps to simultaneously deliver the casing and inner rod assembly to the rod feeder and back (feeding and discharging). This reduces the operating time and greatly increases efficiency, since this operation can be done while drilling.

3) GM840 features our uniquely designed hydraulic pipe rack, capable of vertically storing 10ft long pipes. The rack is attached to a hydraulic actuator, allowing it to be raised for drilling and lowered for transportation. First Pipe Rack stores casing and inner rod assemblies (up to 150 ft). Second Pipe Rack stores additional inner rods (up to 400 ft).

GM840 is designed with the end user in mind. You will be able to benefit from its unique features optimized for high performance, efficiency and reliability in any operational environment.

Geothermal Drilling for Green Energy

Geothermal Heat Pumps (Ground-Source Heat Pumps) are electrically powered heating and cooling systems which transfer heat to and from the earth via a refrigeration process. Geothermal Heat Pumps have been in operation for over 40 years and operate on the same principle as your household refrigerator or air conditioner.

At depths below 30 feet (10 meters), ground temperature stays a constant 42 – 55 deg F. (6-12° C) year-round. During the winter season, a geothermal system absorbs the heat from the earth, amplifies it and transfers it into your home. During the summer, the system absorbs the heat from indoors and releases it back underground. On most models of Geothermal Heat Pumps domestic hot water is produced any time the heat pump operates.

Studies by the US Department of Energy and Natural Resources Canada ranked new generation geothermal heat pumps above all other heating and cooling systems in their ability to conserve energy and reduce CO2 emissions.

When compared to an electrically heated home, geothermal heat pumps consume less than 1/3 the amount of electrical energy to heat the structure, which is close to 66% reduction in energy consumption. Consequently the electric utility company generates only 1/3 the emissions it normally would.

Geothermal Heat pumps are available for both commercial and residential heating and cooling systems in a variety of output capacities, which can accommodate any building design.

What can a home or business owner expect from a Geothermal (Ground Source) Heat Pump?

The drilling equipment used can play an enormous role in the final price tag of the entire geothermal system. An experienced drilling contractor, with the right drilling rig can execute all the necessary drilling and piping within a few hours, but even the most experienced driller with inferior drilling equipment will require days to complete the same project, increasing the costs exponentially. We have been manufacturing drilling equipments since 1988 with 270 units in operation around the world. We conceive, design and manufacture our own drilling equipment, constantly setting a performance standard within the drilling industry. Our main objective is to satisfy our customers’ needs in drilling performance, safely, reliability and cost reduction. We achieve this by custom engineering our rigs specifically as the geothermal drill units.

The GT/GWT Series geothermal drilling rigs, versatile, safe and reliable are proving to be ideally suited for the ever-growing demands of the rapidly emerging ground source heat pump (GSHP) geothermal industry.

The powerful single or double rotary head and the machine’s 35,000 lb (15,000 kg) pullback strength mean that the GT/GWT series geothermal drilling rigs can drill very rapidly up to 1200 ft (400m) to enable the quick installation of the geothermal systems’ closed GSHP loop. Also, the GT/GWT series rigs, being considerably smaller than a typical drilling unit, are ideal for accessing difficult terrains and constricted space sites.
