Congratulations Vaughan Burt

50 Years in the Drilling Industry

In Vaughan’s early days he started out in the pastoral Industry, working on sheep and cattle stations.  In 1968 Vaughan moved out to Kalgoorlie and began his long drilling career with the commencement of Lodestone Drilling, which soon became Davies Lodestone Drilling. For many years Vaughan worked alongside Harry Davies Snr, his greatest mentor. In 1975 Vaughan became the General Manager for Davies Drilling. In 1978 Vaughan Burt Drilling was started with support from his father & brother from which later became Drillex in 1983. Drillex was a pioneer and market leader for RC drilling. In 2002 Drillex was sold opening a door for Vaughan and his family to take Metzke to where it is today.

THE LATEST IN DRILL SAMPLING TECHNOLOGY

THE METZKE SPLITTER

Assumes that the sample feed into the splitter is biased, and uses a patented oscillating distributor to distribute the material evenly over the sample cutters.
 
Will run at up to 300 rpm safely, producing up to 10 times more cuts per sample interval than existing splitters. The oscillating mechanism promotes the flow of material from the drop box, speeding up the sample process.
 
Works equally well in dry or wet sampling
 
Boasts a self-cleaning device preventing sample hang up, drastically reducing lost production time when compared to other splitters.
 
Is configured with three sample chutes. Two on opposite sides of the splitter for the collection of primary and duplicate samples – the aperture on these is adjustable from 3 – 15% and controlled by a scissored mechanism such that the aperture is identical for each. A third independently variable sample chute, between the primary and duplicate sample chutes allows for an additional "geological" sample to be taken if required.
