The Sandy Jr. II is a refractory drill designed specially for tuyere drilling. Thanks to its light weight and small size, the Sandy Jr. II is very easy to transport and install. The drilling unit and the hydraulic command can be mounted on the carrying unit. The frame is placed next to the rotatory unit, easily adjustable once leveled. Optionally, two rotatory units can be used, in order to drill two holes at a time.
