The Fecon EX300S Explorer is a rubber track crawler drill rig, designed for seismic, geothermal, and test drilling, featuring a 46 hp Kubota engine for the rig, a 99 hp Kubota for its Ingersoll Rand 300 CFM / 200 PSI compressor, two-speed hydrostatic travel, 14-inch rubber tracks, and a 10-foot drill steel capacity. It has a lightweight design at approximately 10,000 lbs, making it suitable for limited-access drilling.
Base machine weight: 10,379 lbs (4,707 kg).
Dimensions (L x W x H): 194" x 73" x 94" (4,298mm x 1,854mm x 2,387mm).
Travel transmission: 2-speed hydrostatic.
Travel speed (low/high): 0-7 mph (0-11.3 kph).
Counter-rotating tracks: Yes.
Swing lower rolls: Yes.
COMPRESSOR
Engine make/model: Kubota diesel.
Horsepower: 46 hp (34.3 kW).
Maximum RPM: 2800.
Air compressor: Ingersoll Rand 300 CFM / 200 PSI.
Rubber track width: 14" (355mm).
Ground clearance: 12" (304mm).
Ground contact: 78" x 14" (198mm x 355mm).
Gradeability: 25 degrees.
Drill push down: 5,700 lbs.
Drill pull back: 9,500 lbs.
Drill steel: 10 ft length, 2.5" diameter.
On-board drill rod capacity: Yes.
Depth: It is rated for up to 300 feet (about 91 meters) of depth, though typical seismic "shot holes" are in the 20–30 foot range.
Drill rods: The EX300S uses 10-foot long, 2.5-inch diameter drill rods. It comes equipped with on-board storage capacity.
Push-down and pull-back force: The hydraulic system can generate 5,700 lbs of push-down force and 9,500 lbs of pull-back force.
Variable speed: The drill stem has a variable RPM range of 0–250 rpm.
Hydraulic breakout: A hydraulic breakout system for the drill rods is included at both the top and bottom of the mast.
Auger drilling: The rig is equipped with auger rods to drill through soft ground.
Percussion drilling: For hard or rocky ground, the unit can use an on-board air hammer, powered by a robust Ingersoll Rand compressor. The compressor provides 300 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air at 200 pounds per square inch (PSI).
Rotary drilling: A drill mast, powered by a 99 hp Kubota diesel engine, allows the EX300S to perform rotary drilling.
The EX300S is well-suited for geotechnical work, which involves testing and analyzing soil and rock conditions to determine suitability for construction. Its capabilities in this field include:
Site investigation: Drilling test boreholes to assess subsurface conditions for roads, bridges, and buildings.
Foundation analysis: The ability to perform auger and percussion drilling to collect soil and rock samples for laboratory testing and foundation design.
Remote access: The low-pressure rubber tracks allow the rig to access remote or environmentally sensitive sites that larger, heavier equipment cannot reach.
The machine's compact design and all-terrain traction make it a practical choice for smaller-scale geothermal loop installation, especially in residential or light commercial settings.
Minimal disturbance: The rubber tracks prevent damage to existing landscaping, lawns, and paved surfaces.
Maneuverability: The rig can navigate tight or confined spaces on a property to reach the optimal drilling location.
Versatile drilling: It can handle the varied ground conditions often encountered when drilling for geothermal ground loops.
The EX300S is used for various drilling needs in the energy and construction sectors.
Right-of-way clearing: Before construction begins on new power lines or pipelines, the EX300S can clear the way and perform exploration drilling.
Site preparation: It aids in clearing and preparing sites for various infrastructure projects where drilling is needed.
Oil and gas exploration: The EX300S is utilized for exploration activities related to oil and gas infrastructure.
