CRI - Model LP -Low Profile Canister Drill
Major development companies, roadway engineers, and colossal mining contractors across the nation turn to our low profile (LP) drills. Our LP DRILLs are renowned for their sleek profile and precision, ensuring holes are drilled swiftly to the exacting standards demanded. With an LP DRILL from CENTER ROCK products, many important projects are completed every single year.
Conventional LP and Hole Opener
Hammers fitted with button bits are positioned in a specially designed grid to ensure even cutting across the face of the hole and to promote proper flow of cuttings outward and upward into the calyx basket. For large diameter holes, a pilot shaft is drilled with a full face LP Drill, then a larger diameter hole opener opens the pilot shaft to the required diameter up to 144” (3658 mm).
Reverse Circulation (RC) LP Drill
Center Rock Inc.’s Reverse Circulation LP Drills are ideal for deep hole applications or discharge containment. We offer two styles which are capped flute recovery and center recovery. The capped flute recovery style consists of a standard LP drill with larger flutes that are capped, a seal band added to the base and interchanges, along with a shroud bolted to the top. The advantage of the flute style is the canister may be converted between reverse circulation and direct circulation mode. Alternatively, the center recover style has integrated return tubes flowing through the center of the canister, along with a built-in air/cuttings interchange for a shorter top connection. Both style RC LP Drills exhibit base recovery for full containment, can be manufactured with any pipe connection, and utilizes standard LP hammers and bits.
