Comacchio was in the spotlight at the International Foundations Congress and Equipment Expo (IFCEE 2015). The show, that was held in San Antionio, Texas, from March 17 to 21, is one of the major events dedicated to foundation equipment in North America. In collaboration with our US dealers Hammer & Steel and ICE Inc., Comacchio showcased as much as 4 drill rig models for different applications.

The rigs on display included smaller units with separate power pack as the MC 4 D and MC 5 D HT, two rigs specifically designed for ground engineering works in confined and low-overhead spaces, as well as larger rigs as the MC 15 HT and MC 22 A HT with up to 25 tons weight and suitable for micropiles, jet grouting, tiebacks and anchors. The HT (High Tech Line) rigs on display were equipped with the latest generation diesel engines, offering lower emissions and consumptions and complying with the new Stage IIIB / Tier 4 Interim standards. A great deal of attention was focused on the MC 22 A. With this latest addition to its MC-Line, Comacchio takes another step forward in the automation of drilling processes. The MC 22 A features a cutting edge rod and casings carousel that eliminates the need for manual handling of outer casing and inner rods. The carousel is suitable for different rod and casing dimensions, and can accommodate up to a maximum of 8 rods and 7 casings. The MC 22 A is completely remote controlled, thanks to the unique Comacchio radio control system, which allows to manage not only the tramming, drilling and machine set-up functions, but also to operate the hydraulic rod & casing carousel. The MC 22 A is designed mainly for anchor drilling and consolidations in general. Available with a wide selection of rotary heads, hydraulic hammers, double head systems, water and mud pumps, the MC 22 A is suitable for any type of rotary and rotary-percussive drilling.
