BOOSTER & AUXILIARY

Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling utilises compressed air to power a percussive hammer, return the sample to surface and hold back any water in the ground, allowing the production of a dry sample.

​

The Schramm T685 has an on-board Sullair compressor capable of producing 500psi at 1150 cfm or 350 psi at 1350 cfm.

​

To enable us to drill deeper, hold back more water or penetrate very hard rock, we carry an additional, identical Sullair compressor and an Atlas Copco Hurricane booster.

​

The additional compressor provides us with the same volume & air pressure as the rig compressor (500psi/1150cfm or 350psi/1350cfm). We then feed these two compressors into the booster which can boost the pressure up to 1000psi, giving us significantly more air power when we need it.
