The TERRA MINI-JET MJS 1600 is a manhole HDD drill for directional bores in lengths up to 50 m (165 ft) with a minimum turning radius of 15 m (50 ft). The directional bore can be reamed in several steps up to 300 mm (12”) even in hard ground. The TERRA MINI-JET MJS 1600 is equipped with a torque of 1600 Nm (1200 ft.lbs) and thrust and pull back forces of 60 kN (6 tons, 13’200 lbs).

The MJS 1600 can drill from manholes with an internal diameter of 1.0 m (3.3 ft) and can fit through manhole entrances of just 0.62 m (25”). Where the entrance is smaller than this, the manhole cover frame can be removed. First the drill’s bed frame is lowered into place in the manhole and tightened hydraulically in position, thereafter the manhole drill is lifted vertically through the manhole cover and bolted onto the bed frame. Drilling and back reaming takes place with bentonite drilling fluid pressure of 0-55 bar (0-800 psi) and drilling fluid volumes of 0-38 ltr/min (0-9 gpm). This makes the TERRA MINI-JET MJS 1600 a small but extremely effective horizontal directional drilling (HDD) machine.
-
The entire operation of the TERRA MINI-JET MJS 1600 is controlled from the surface where the operator along with the control station, rod magazine and rod lift are positioned.
There is no requirement to enter the manhole during drilling and back reaming work. The operator inserts a new drill rod into the rod lift. The rod lift transfers it down into the manhole and positions it in the drilling machine.
The new drill rod is screwed into the last drill rod. Inductive sensors make this operation possible even where the operator does not have a view into the manhole. The rod lift may also be positioned at an angle over the drilling machine where the manhole entrance is not located directly on top of the drilling machine. .
