Details

Over the past 40 years, Bentec has developed an impressive portfolio of automated tubular running operations in order to build more robust and reliable Iron Roughneck that reduce both downtime and maintenance.

The Iron Roughneck is available in two versions. The basic design is simple and robust for safe drilling operations. This design includes all essential functions for making up and breaking out tool joint connections.

The premium design is operated electrically or hydraulically. It includes automation features like the Positioning System, and Torque Readout System for partly or fully automated make/break operations.

The compact dimensions of the Bentec Iron Roughneck make it easy to install in existing and new rigs. The design allows for easy interchangeability with competitors’ Iron Roughnecks.

Both Bentec iron roughneck versions are developed for use as a portable unit on land rigs or permanent installation on offshore rigs. The system is powered by the existing rig hydraulic power unit. A separate hydraulic power unit is also available.

Bentec’s Iron Roughnecks comply with the latest European CE design standards, ATEX standards, and international API standards to maintain the highest level of industry safety.
