The GME GEX1 (also known as "Drifter Hidraulicos" in Spanish) hydraulic drifter is a powerful yet compact hydraulic percussive top hammer rock drill. It has a low profile height and comes with built-in air flushing (water flushing optional). It is specially designed for use with a drilling rig in heavy-duty horizontal drilling applications. These applications include foundation drilling, road cutting, trenching, bolting and line drilling in dimensional stone quarries. Biodegradable oils can be used for both hydraulics and in-shank lubrication to reduce the environmental impact.
The GEX1 hydraulic drifter is equivalent to the Sandvik HEX1 hydraulic drifter, offering similar performance with interchangeable parts for easy replacement and maintenance.
The GEX1 hydraulic drifter is used for foundation drilling, road cutting, trenching, rock bolting, and line drilling in dimension stone quarries, making it ideal for heavy-duty horizontal drilling applications.
The GEX1 hydraulic drifter operates under standard hydraulic drilling system pressures, ensuring efficient energy transfer and consistent performance in demanding drilling conditions.
Yes, the GEX1 hydraulic drifter comes with built-in air flushing, with an option for water flushing, helping improve drilling efficiency, reduce dust, and extend tool life.
Its precise energy transfer and drilling accuracy help create straight, clean drill lines, ensuring controlled block cutting and minimizing stone wastage.
