Hurricane Boosters - Air or Nitrogen |
Model: B13-62
 Hurricane boosters are second-to-none. They are smaller, lighter, and still pack as much power as the larger and heavier comparable units available in the marketplace today.
Our quality control and turnkey manufacturing process guarantee excellence, while superior engineering and design help drive custom solutions for our customers. Every feature that is built into our boosters shows you the experience, the power, the quality... the Hurricane difference.
Over 40 years of experience has taught us to maximize every component. Like all of our boosters, this unit provides you with a better penetration rate, cooler bit temperatures, and longer bit life.
Typical applications include: mineral exploration and blast hole drilling, coal bed methane drilling, oil and gas air/foam drilling, nitrogen generation, and pipeline services.
