HILTI DD150 DIAMOND CORE DRILL

Hilti DD 150-U Diamond Core Drill: Universal Versatility for Wet & Dry Coring

The Hilti DD 150-U is a high-performance electric diamond coring machine, engineered to offer exceptional versatility and efficiency for drilling small to medium-large diameter holes. Designed for both handheld and rig-mounted operation, and capable of both wet and dry drilling, this system is a go-to solution for creating clean, precise penetrations in concrete, reinforced concrete, asphalt, and masonry.

 Features

• Wide Drilling Diameter Range: The DD 150-U excels across a broad spectrum of hole sizes, typically handling diameters from 8mm up to 162mm (5/16" to 6-3/8"). This comprehensive range makes it suitable for diverse applications, from small anchor holes to larger pipe and duct penetrations.
• High-Performance Motor & 3-Speed Gearing: Features a powerful motor (e.g., 2000W - 2200W) with an optimized 3-speed gearbox. This allows operators to select the ideal speed (e.g., from ~840 RPM in gear 1 to ~3070 RPM in gear 3) and torque for different core bit diameters and base materials, maximizing drilling efficiency and extending core bit life.
• Versatile Operation Modes (Handheld & Rig-Based):
  • Handheld Drilling: Ideal for smaller to medium diameters, particularly for dry drilling in masonry or for setting large diameter anchors. Its relatively compact design and 360-degree adjustable side handle provide excellent control.
  • Rig-Based Drilling: When mounted on a compatible Hilti drill stand (e.g., DD-ST 150 U), it offers enhanced stability and precision for larger diameters, deeper holes, and working with reinforced concrete.
• Wet & Dry Drilling Capability: The DD 150-U is a true "universal" tool:
  • Wet Drilling: Optimized for concrete and reinforced concrete, using water to cool the core bit and effectively suppress dust.
  • Dry Drilling: Ideal for masonry applications, especially when combined with a dust extraction system (like Hilti's DRS-C or a suitable vacuum cleaner) for dust-free operation.
• Real-time Feedback Display: An intuitive digital display provides operators with essential information in real-time, including:
  • Digital Spirit Level: For precise horizontal and vertical alignment, especially important for rig-based drilling.
  • Gear Selector: Indicates the currently selected gear.
  • Power Control Function: Visual indicators (e.g., color-coded lights) guide the operator to apply optimal pressure, ensuring maximum productivity and preventing core bit wear.
  • Usage Statistics & Service Messages: For better tool management and proactive maintenance.
• Integrated Dust & Water Management: The 360-degree adjustable side handle often integrates water and dust management functions, simplifying setup and improving workplace cleanliness. It also connects seamlessly with Hilti's water management systems (e.g., WMS 100 BLE via Bluetooth) for automated water supply and collection.
• BI+ Quick-Release Chuck System: Features Hilti's unique BI+ quick-release core bit connection, allowing for rapid, tool-free core bit changes in seconds, significantly boosting productivity.
• Robust & Durable Construction: Built with Hilti's renowned quality, the DD 150-U is designed to withstand the rigours of continuous, demanding job site use, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Low Vibration: Even as a powerful hand-held capable tool, the DD 150-U maintains relatively low vibration levels (e.g., around 3.9 m/s² for wet drilling), enhancing user comfort and safety during extended operation.
