The Impco S36M is a high-performance sidewall rockdrill designed for both surface and underground applications. Featuring a powerful 110 mm bore, independently controlled rotation and percussion, optimized air consumption, and reliable external water flushing, it delivers exceptional drilling efficiency. Its versatility makes it ideal for benching, presplitting, tunneling, fan holes, ring drilling, and long-hole applications such as water drainage and communication installations.
The Impco S36M Sidewall Rockdrill is engineered as a powerful and highly adaptable drifter-type rock drill built for demanding surface and underground drilling environments. With a robust 110 mm bore diameter and independently controlled rotation and percussion, it delivers outstanding drilling efficiency, optimized air consumption, and high torque across all geological conditions. This independent control system also simplifies coupling and uncoupling of drill steels, enhancing operational safety and workflow efficiency.
On the surface, the S36M excels when mounted on track or wagon drills, making it an ideal choice for quarry benching, presplitting, and a wide range of civil construction tasks. Underground, it adapts effortlessly when mounted on screws for development tunneling, fan hole drilling, and ring-drilled blast hole production. Its performance versatility extends even further, supporting specialized applications such as long-hole drilling for water drainage and communication system installations.
Designed for reliability and serviceability, the S36M features a front-head water box with external water feed for consistent flushing—eliminating the need for an internal water tube. Internal muffling reduces noise during operation, and the user-friendly feed screw nut cartridge simplifies maintenance. Together, these features ensure dependable operation, reduced downtime, and a long service life in demanding drilling environments.
The Impco S36M delivers a powerful, flexible, and efficient solution for operators who require deep-hole drilling performance across both surface and underground applications.
