perforatrice : Machine utilisée en exploitation minière pour briser les roches dures et y creuser des trous étroits et profonds destinés aux explosifs. On en distingue deux sortes : à percussion et à rotation. Les perforatrices à percussion sont dotées d'une barre ou fleuret en acier dur, à section en forme de Z ou d'étoile à pans coupants, qui percute la roche et la désagrège. Les perforatrices à rotation sont munies d'un outil perforateur tournant, à dents d'acier quelquefois garnies de diamant, qui reste toujours fortement pressé contre la paroi rocheuse à travailler. Les perforatrices peuvent être mues par électricité, par air comprimé ou par eau sous pression. 6, record 1, French, - perforatrice
