Aerzorber
Save your drill rotary or DTH drill string with an innovative floating shock sub that uses air cushion technology. Like all Mincon products, Aerzorber is designed to help reduce downtime and increase the production at your drilling operations. Aerzorber is a shock absorber designed for use at the top of a DTH or rotary drill string. Sitting between the drill string and the rotary head of your drill rig, Aerzorber reduces vibration and shocks thanks to a combination of air and mechanical shock absorption – resulting in higher durability, increased productivity, and lower maintenance. With a modular design that uses easily replaced components, Aerzorber saves your drill rig’s rotary head unit from maintenance that can cost you time and money. Its unique air cushion design also allows it to act as a floating sub, allowing you to easily add or remove drill pipes during drilling.
Protect your drill rig and drill string
Aerzorber has a proven record for helping drillers extend the life of their drill string, and avoid costly repairs on their drilling equipment.
