Armadrillco High-Flow/Side-Load Housing Adapted to the StraightLine RockEye

The most recent development in StraightLine HDD’s acquisition of Armadrillco is the adaption of the patented Armadrillco transmitter housing to the RockEye Hammer System is a significant step in diffusing Armadrillco technology throughout StraightLine HDD tooling platforms.

 

Adapting Armadrillco side-load housing technology gives users easy access to electronics, larger capacity fluid/air passages and improved durability. The housing’s patented Arma-Loc system is a field-proven design that gives users quick access to electronics by virtue of removing a single pin. Free from threads, the Arma-Loc system virtually eliminates problems associated with damaged or over-torqued bolts, as well as vibration-induced lid failure.

The industry’s most secure lid retention system is also the most protected. Working in tandem with the Arma-Loc lid security system, a patented urethane and O-ring system is designed to seal and protect the sonde cavity from fluid/debris infiltration. The system also forms a cushioned platform that shields valuable electronics from punishing vibration and heat produced by a hammer working in harsh rock environments.

Large internal passages, up to 1-in. in diameter, represent a significant improvement in air/fluid flow. The larger passages are capable of delivering air volume up to 1,200 cfm and fluid volume of more than 300 gpm.
