OFFSHORE MARINE GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION Dando rotary heads hold a longstanding reputation as being the favoured choice for many of the largest drilling companies around the world. MK 1000 twin piston motor arrangement MK 500 single gear motor arrangement The relationship which we have with our clients and our understanding of their needs has allowed our design team to create both models in exact accordance to the industry s highest expectations. This, combined with traditional British ideals of heavy duty, hard-wearing components explains why the MK 500 and MK 1000 power swivel is preferred by Geo-marine companies worldwide. In addition to this, our experience in manufacturing and the industry means we can quote and supply suitable water swivels, control panels and other equipment which may be needed for our clients' bespoke rig designs. We are also able to recommend specific gear arrangements and associated flow and pressure details to ensure the correct torque and rpm is achieved. MK 1000 POWER SWIVEL This model is fitted with a twin worm and single wheel gear totally enclosed in an oil bath case. Again, the head incorporates a 150mm I.D. hollow spindle which is mounted on taper roller bearings but the MK 1000 is powered by twin piston motors providing controlled rotation and torque in forward or reverse. The loading capacity is also much greater at 40+ tonnes. MK 500 ROTARY HEAD Fitted with a worm and wheel gear totally enclosed in an oil bath case, the Dando MK 500 incorporates a 150mm I.D. hollow spindle mounted on taper roller bearings. The head can then be powered by a single piston motor providing controlled rotation. 12
