Info #247

The New Ditch Witch[R] JT2720 Mach 1 horizontal directional drilling system with exclusive All Terrain option offers rock-drilling capabilities that no other directional drilling unit can match. Using an exclusive mechanical dual drive drilling system, the self-contained 27,000-pound (120 kN) pullback model permits effective drilling and steering through solid and broken rock, cobble, and gravel, and other difficult conditions without a mud motor or auxiliary fluid system. Without the All Terrain option, the basic Mach 1 model is an excellent general-purpose drilling machine. New features include Mach 1 electronics, cruise control, four-point anchoring, improved pipe loading, heavy-duty drill pipe vise wrenches, and enhanced automatic pipe lubrication.

Info #248

Other new features include Mach 1 electronics, four-point anchoring, improved pipeloading, heavy-duty drill pipe vise wrenches, and improved automatic pipe lubrication.

Info #250

The Ditch Witch[R] FM13 Drilling Fluid System has been added to the line of Ditch Witch drilling fluid management products. The FM13 is the largest of three stand-alone, modular fluid systems for efficiently mixing drilling fluid additives with water and delivering the slurry to directional drilling units for drilling, backreaming, and product pullback. Powered by a 13-horsepower (9.7 kW) gasoline engine, the efficient constant grease seal pump delivers 20 percent more fluid capacity than the MM9 fluid system, moving 42 viscosity slurry at the rate of 200 gpm (757L/min). Maximum flow rate is 300 gpm (1135.6 L/min) of 26 viscosity fluid.

Info #251

The manufacturer of Ditch Witch[R] underground construction equipment has a drill pipe that is the most durable, dependable and cost-effective pipe ever made for horizontal directional drilling applications. Power Pipe[TM] is manufactured by an exclusive process, using tubing made of a high-strength alloy with excellent flexibility characteristics while being sufficiently rigid to maintain thrust during changes in direction. The pin and box are made from a different extra-tough alloy pressed into and welded to the expanded ends of the tubing. Initially available for specific Jet Trac[R] directional drilling systems, Power Pipe carries the best warranty available for any drill pipe product.

Info #252

The new Ditch Witch[R] Rhino Rock Backreamer is especially designed for enlarging diameters of pilot holes made through rocky soil conditions with horizontal directional drilling equipment. Cutting cones welded on the tool's shaft contain tungsten carbide inserts which eat away at rock as the tool is pulled through the pilot hole. The Rhino Rock Backreamer uses the same type of roller cone as used on the Rhino Rock drill bit for increased productivity and extended tool life.

Info #253

The Rhino Rock Bit is the Ditch Witch downhole tool designed to bore through difficult soil conditions, including many types of rock. This roller cone bit equips compact directional drilling units to work through soft-to-medium rock that is beyond the capabilities of standard bits. In many conditions, it is an economical alternative to using a larger drilling unit or a mud motor. Tungsten carbide inserts in the bit's roller cone cut smoothly without transmitting vibration to the drill frame. Sealed bearings contribute to effective cutting action and extend bit life.

Info #254

The New Ditch Witch[R] FX30 Vacuum Excavation System is both a portable vacuum unit that can be used for a variety of utility clean-up operations and an efficient "soft" excavating machine. The FX30's powerful 2-lobe blower develops 500 cfm (14.1m3/min) and developes 15 inches (380 mm) of mercury, providing powerful suction force. For most excavating applications, a stream of high-pressure water is used to displace soil. Water pressures of 0-3000 psi can be reached depending on job requirements. Excavations also can be made by air vacuum. The FX30 is designed to make the most efficient use of available power, and the high-pressure water pump's clutch automatically disengages when water is not in use, allowing full power to go to the blower.

Info #255

The Subsite[R] Electronics 750 Tracker and 750 Display is one of the most advanced electronic tracking instruments ever developed for horizontal directional drilling. It can be used as a walk-over tracker to monitor tool head location and receive and process data necessary to adjust steering; as a remote-steering unit to guide bore paths without operating the tracker directly above the bore head, and it performs the basic functions of a utility line locator. The 750 Tracker can operate at greater depths than other models, and it can receive high-resolution pitch information transmitted by new Subsite sewer grade beacons. Subsite Electronics is a division of The Charles Machine Works, Inc., manufacturer of Ditch Witch[R] underground construction equipment.

Info #256

Subsite[R] Electronics offers the Trac Management System, a combination of hardware and software that allows underground construction contractors to document the path of directional bores in real time. The system is capable of displaying the bore path on the screen of Windows[R] 95-based computers, and also stores and prints an as-built map of the bore for future reference.

Don't Bury That Leak!

Your men can test each pipe joint as it's laid in less than 30 seconds and tell whether it's going to leak or not, before it's buried without pressure. An ultrasonic transmitter is used in coordination with an ultrasonic detector. The detector converts inaudible ultrasonic signals into audible tones and amplifies them for ease of detection. By placing the transmitter on the inside of a pipe or test item the signal will seek out and penetrate any hole in the pipe or joint.
