The Collaring Device provides stable, accurate hole collaring by securely centralizing the drill rod and preventing bit movement during drilling. Built with a robust, low-maintenance design, it reduces manual handling, improves safety, and delivers long-lasting durability. The Impco Centralizer offers powerful jaw control, rapid operation, and compatibility with a range of drill steels, all in a compact, mobile package.
The Collaring Device is engineered to provide precise and stable hole collaring, ensuring that drilling begins accurately and efficiently. With a rugged and durable construction, it stabilizes the drill rod throughout operation, preventing bit deflection and maintaining alignment even in demanding conditions. By eliminating the strenuous manual effort typically required to handle drill rods, the device enhances operator safety and reduces fatigue, making the drilling process smoother and more controlled.
Designed for maximum performance in a compact, portable package, the Impco Centralizer features a simplified yet highly effective mechanism with minimal moving parts. It delivers positive centering and reliable operation at a low overall cost. Controlled by a single valve on the remote control panel, the centralizer offers rapid opening and powerful closing of its clamping jaws, ensuring a secure grip on the drill rod at all times. Constructed from seamless steel tubing, it provides long-term durability and resistance to harsh working environments.
The Impco Centralizer is capable of supporting up to 46 m (150 ft) of 38 mm (1½”) round drill rods, with clamping jaws available for drill steels ranging from 32 mm (1¼”) to 38 mm (1½”). Lubricated by air-misted oil from the in-line lubricator, it offers smooth, dependable operation when used with high-quality rock drill oil or grease. Overall, the Collaring Device stands out as a robust, efficient, and low-maintenance solution designed to improve accuracy, productivity, and safety in drilling operations.
