The DTH hammer operates through a system of compressed air. High-pressure air is directed down the drill string, powering the hammer at the end of the drill bit. The hammer strikes the bit with considerable force, fracturing the rock immediately beneath it. As the bit penetrates further, the broken rock is then cleared from the hole by the same air stream, allowing for continuous drilling without the interruptions often associated with other drilling methods.

3. Energy Savings Compared to traditional piston compressors, portable rotary compressors consume less energy by operating at lower RPMs. This translates into reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint, which is particularly appealing in today’s eco-conscious market.

Market Trends

Spiral drill bits with efficient tooth designs are applicable in numerous fields.

2. Drill String The drill string is a series of interconnected pipes that transmits drilling fluid and rotational force from the surface to the drill bit. It consists of drill pipes, heavy-weight drill pipes, and drill collars. The drill string must be robust enough to withstand the high pressures and stresses encountered during drilling.
