ECM-370 Air/Hydraulic Drill
Productivity
The Ingersoll-Rand ECM-370 is the only
drill on the market that combines the
durability of an air crawler with the benefits of
a self-contained hydraulic crawler in one
package. This self-contained drill is extremely
productive, easy to operate, simple to
maintain, and significantly more economical
to operate than other drills.
Self-Contained
Efficiency
The self-contained ECM-
370 drilling package will
save time during setup
by eliminating the need
to haul a separate air
compressor to each drill site. Shipping and
transportation costs will also be significantly
lower.
Simple
Operation
Due to the
combination of
the pneumatic
percussion
cycle and the
powerful
hydraulic feed motor, getting a drill string free
from broken ground is easy. Uncoupling
accessories is also easier with the pneumatic
drifter, and operators can be easily and quickly
trained. The ECM-370 will spend more time
drilling holes and less time trying to free stuck
steels! The ECM-370 is a smart choice.

The ECM-370
combines the world
famous VL140
pneumatic drifter
with an Ingersoll-Rand air compressor for
outstanding performance. The ECM-370
maximizes the air compressor by using all
available air for percussion and hole cleaning
and uses the efficiency of hydraulics for feed
and rotation drilling functions. This method
dramatically increases the penetration rate
and will save precious fuel and money.
Ease of Maintenance
The simple,
reliable, and low
maintenance
design of the air
drifter is preferred
by drill owners
throughout the
world. With the
VL140/ HR the
ECM-370 drilling package requires minimum
drifter maintenance.
Availability
The impressive reliability of Ingersoll-Rand
pneumatic drifters and their ability to take abuse
is a known fact. The Ingersoll-Rand ECM-370
combines the reliability of a pneumatic drifter
with the proven power and efficiency of a well
designed, uncomplicated hydraulic system.
The high availability of this combination will
result in higher production and profit.
