2. Rock drill: used to drill holes with a diameter of 20 ~ 100 mm and a depth of less than 20 meters in rocks above medium and hard. According to its different power can be divided into pneumatic, internal combustion, hydraulic and electric rock drill, of which pneumatic rock drill is the most widely used.
Down-the-hole hammer drilling is a technique used primarily for drilling boreholes in hard rock applications. It employs a pneumatic hammer, situated directly at the drill bit, to deliver high-impact blows that effectively break up the rock. This method contrasts with traditional rotary drilling, where the drill bit operates at the surface and relies on torque and weight to penetrate the ground.
