MetreEater Diamond Core Drill
The MetreEater is a screw-feed machine for deep drilling, in low-pressure, high-altitude environments. The MetreEater is available in four models - pneumatic, hydraulic, BQ pneumatic and BQ hydraulic.
The BQ MetreEater accommodates BQ rods directly through the spindle, the focus on this innovation has provided enhanced performance at reduced costs. In the past it has been possible to drill BQ by adding rods to the front of the machine and using an adaptor.
The MetreEater diamond core drill is manufactured to ISO 9002 quality specifications ensuring consistency in material and manufacturing tolerances.

RQ Rods
The introduction of Boart Longyear's new RQHP high-performance wireline drill rods – developed by the groups’ Canadian arm – provides an improved depth rating and has up to five times the wear resistance of other available products. The heat-treated rods features an innovative advanced “low stress” thread design, virtually eliminating belling, bulging and thread jumping, as well as reducing rod wear, failures, spinouts and premature retirement of rods. The joint strength and efficiency of the RQHP rods provide our customers with improved productivity.
