EXPLOFOR®3 DRILLING DATA RECORDER What is Explofor®3? Like previous versions, Explofor®3 enables the recording of drilling parameters during the drilling process with a view to collecting real time information on the soil profile. These data can also be used to choose adapted soil testing investigations (PRESSUREMETER, SPT, etc.) to the soil at hand. APAFOR® - APAGEO's range of drilling rigs - are equipped in series with quick hydraulic couplings and electrical wires for connecting EXPLOFOR® system (APAFOR® 400 series or higher). What makes Explofor®3 being so original? Explofor® 3 is a cutting edge equipment that centralizes drilling data right through the central unit GeoBOX®. The whole device is handy and can be quickly mounted on the drilling rig. Explofor® 3 is made of : A new generation of remote unit for EXPLOFOR®3 allows direct reading of the borehole depth, with more flexibility to the main control (start, stop and restart). It can be positioned on the control panel of the drilling rig for easy operation of EXPLOFOR®3 during drilling. New depth encoder: penetration rate/depth sensor, compact and light, it is equipped with an electromagnetic rewinding brake to avoid damages. Junction box that will be mounted on the drilling rig for centralized connection of EXPLOFOR® sensors and communication with GeoBOX® via WIFI. 3 pressure sensors. The central unit GeoBOX® and accessories are sold separately. Explofor® 3 records the following parameters: Advance rate (depth and penetration speed) Rotating torque of the rotary head Pushing force (thrust) on drilling bits Injection pressure of drilling fluid Optional: VIR® - a rotation speed sensor (APAFOR® 400 or higher), holding pressure, flow, GPS Data from EXPLOFOR®3 can be processed directly using our geotechnical data processing software, GeoVision®.
