13 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® SEPTEMBER 2020 Renewed and Improved FRASTE has updated its FRASTE MULTIDRILL XL DR. The main change is the more powerful Caterpillar engine which increased from 140 horsepower to 170, along with the latest Tier 4 emission standards (Tier V coming soon). It also features stronger pullup capacity from 10 to 12 tons. This rig is equipped with two rotary heads: the upper one is for drill pipe breaking and the lower one is for casing holding. This technology facilitates drilling operations in all alluvial deposits where casing pipes are necessary; assuring safety when working and minimizing the risk of hole collapse. Equipped with a diverter mounted below the lower rotary head, allows for perfect management of drilling debris flow, keeping the drilling area tidy and clean. Although it was originally designed for geothermal drilling, this rig is also used for water well drilling and other applications.
