Swivel, The Key Feature
This Is One Of The Components That Makes Our Drilling Rig Superior To The Others.
Anybody Can Make Claims, We Provide Proof.
The swivel is the heart of the rotary drilling system, it transferes water at high pressure through the drill stem to the drill bit, which cools and lubricates the bit as it drills, and flushes and forces the cuttings up and out of the borehole. Without a large capacity high volume swivel, drilling a well over twenty to thirty feet deep will be very limited, if not impossible. Below are pictures of our swivel compared to the smaller substandard swivel commonly seen on some other drilling rigs. This smaller swivel is designed for drilling short six to eight inch deep holes in concrete for anchor bolts and anchor pods, not for drilling water wells. Why are these small, low capacity swivels used on other so called "water well drill rigs?" Because they are cheap, easy to obtain, and plentiful. Manufacturing a high quality, high volume swivel is time consuming, expensive, and labor intensive.
We manufacture our own patent pending high volume, weight bearing swivel. Our swivel is four times larger, and ten times the capacity of these commonly used immitation swivels, as detailed in the pictures below. The water ports on our swivel are four times larger which means much more water volume which is needed to flush the excess mud and cuttings up and out of the borehole. Our swivel is equipped with large heavy duty, easily replaceable, packing type seals which are much more resistant to the abrasive sand and mud cuttings constantly forced through the system, Also, Roller Bearings Keep The Swivel Shaft Supported And Rotating Smoothe And Straight. Another key feature that we have incorporated into our swivel is the built-in weight bearing support. This feature enables the swivel to be supported to the frame, not hanging directly from the gearbox, which will cause premature transmission wear and failure.
We Machine The Swivel Shaft From Solid Tool Steel Bars, For Long Laasting Durability.
