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.

Por otro lado, la incorporación de sistemas de monitoreo y análisis en tiempo real se está volviendo cada vez más común. Estos sistemas permiten a los operadores detectar anomalías en la operación de los chocks y realizar ajustes antes de que se produzcan problemas mayores. De esta manera, se optimiza la eficiencia del laminador y se asegura una producción continua y de alta calidad.

Design Features

Jaw plates are commonly made from manganese steel, an alloy that boasts high wear resistance and toughness. Manganese steel typically contains between 11% to 14% manganese, which contributes to its unique and advantageous properties. The addition of manganese enhances the alloy's hardenability, allowing it to become exceptionally hard when subjected to heavy impacts. This characteristic makes manganese steel an ideal choice for high-stress applications, such as crushing abrasive materials in mining.

4. Lower Noise and Vibration Operational noise and vibration levels are generally lower with DTH hammers, contributing to a more environmentally friendly drilling process and improving working conditions for operators.
