Precision Drilling with the Pentruder MDU3-30

The Pentruder MDU3-30 is part of the modular MDU3 platform – a 3-phase core drill motor designed for professional concrete cutters. Built on the same technology platform as the MDU3-60 and MDU3-100, it delivers stable, controlled and efficient drilling for everyday professional applications, but can also handle tough challenges.

One Machine – Three Models

MDU stands for Modular Drive Unit.

The MDU3 platform consists of three models – 30, 60 and 100 – with or without patented integrated Autofeed (AF). The MDU3-30 is the ideal choice for smaller and medium diameter drilling, while offering full upgrade capability to MDU3-60 or MDU3-100 by switching drop gears directly on site if needed.

Why Choose the MDU3-30?

Patented Integrated Autofeed

The MDU3-30AF features Pentruder’s patented integrated Autofeed system. Unlike external feed units, the Autofeed is fully integrated into the motor:

  • Less mechanical and electrical interfaces
  • Fewer parts and connectors
  • Instant reaction to drilling resistance

Slip clutch is electronically monitored every microsecond and feed pressure adjusts immediately. The result is fast reaction with very soft machine behavior.

Drill depth is programmable and monitored electronically.

Integrated 3-Phase Drive – No Power Pack Needed

The MDU3 platform features fully integrated 3-phase drive and control electronics. No external power pack is required. This reduces transport weight, setup time and cable complexity on site.

Max output power: 8 kW / 11 hp

Electronically Monitored Slip-Clutch

The monitored slip-clutch in the rotor minimizes overload and maximizes durability. This electronic supervision protects the machine and increases service life under demanding conditions.

Exceptionally Wide Speed Range

The MDU3-30 offers an exceptionally wide variable spindle speed range, 1:4 ratio:

  • Spindle speed: 200 – 1800 rpm
  • 14 electronic speed steps

This allows optimal peripheral speed for a wide range of drill bit diameters.

Advanced Software Platform

The MDU3-30 shares the same software platform as the MDU3-60 and MDU3-100:

  • Display showing voltage, amperage, RPM
  • Feed force and drill depth (AF models)
  • Fault codes
  • Hour counter and service counter
  • Software updates possible by end user
  • Full connection to the Pentruder App

This makes the MDU3 platform highly future-proof.

Technical Data – MDU3-30 / MDU3-30AF

  • Spindle speed: 200 – 1800 rpm
  • Max drill bit diameter: 300 mm / 12”
  • Max torque: 60 Nm / 44.5 ft.lb
  • Max output power: 8 kW / 11 hp
  • 3-phase input power 380 – 480 V

Upgradeable Modular Platform

The MDU3-30 can be upgraded to MDU3-60 or MDU3-100 on site. This makes it a long-term investment rather than a single-purpose machine.

The Strengths of MDU3-30

Powerful Performance
Designed for heavy-duty use, the MDU3-30 provides consistent torque and speed control, ensuring clean, accurate holes in reinforced concrete.

Lightweight and Ergonomic
You can easily add wheels to your Pentruder drill rig for the MDU3-30 to make it easy to transport and handle, reducing operator fatigue and improving efficiency during long drilling tasks.

Durable Construction
Built in Sweden with premium materials, the MDU3-30 is engineered for long-lasting performance and upgradeability for future requirements.

Versatility Across Applications
Compatible with a wide range of rigs and accessories, so you can drill in any angle you want. The MDU3-30 adapts to both large-scale construction sites and detailed retrofitting projects.

Applications of the MDU3-30

  • Compatible with your Pentruder App – See cutting performance, time to service and more.
  • Utility Openings – Create precise holes for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.
  • Reinforced Concrete Drilling– Handle dense, reinforced structures with accuracy.
  • Complex Environments – Perform drilling tasks in confined or elevated spaces with ease.
