Xs Bolt-On
Diverter

Georocfor’s Bolt-On Diverter is a reliable pneumatic fixed diverter designed to serve various drilling needs. However, it is important to note that working with this type of diverter can be more challenging compared to other models, as it involves several manual manipulations.

To install the Bolt-On Diverter, you first need to unscrew the top seal and slip the diverter over the drill tube to reach the casing. After that, the lower collar must be bolted onto the casing. One challenge often encountered is that the vibration generated by the hammering process can cause the bolts to loosen. To address this, it is necessary to restart the welding machine and spot weld the collar, reducing the vibration on the bolts and ensuring a more secure fit.

While this method offers the advantage of a lower initial cost, it does come with some drawbacks. The process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, which can significantly impact drilling performance, reducing overall efficiency. Therefore, while the Bolt-On Diverter can be a cost-effective solution upfront, it may lead to increased operational costs and slower drilling progress as the day goes on.

In summary, the Bolt-On Diverter is best suited for situations where cost is the primary concern, but users should be aware that the time and labor required for installation, maintenance, and securing the bolts may offset the initial savings and impact the overall productivity of the operation.
