LEARN MORE
Down-the-Hole (DTH) hammers and drill bits are vital tools used in rotary percussion drilling. They are essential for creating deep boreholes through tough rock formations in various industries. These include mining, quarrying, water well drilling, geothermal energy exploration, and construction applications like foundation drilling.

DTH drill bits are designed with a hollow center to allow pressurized air to flush out cuttings while drilling. They are typically made from high-strength steel with tungsten carbide inserts on the cutting surface. Tungsten carbide is an incredibly hard and wear-resistant material that can efficiently break through rock. The specific design of the bit face can vary depending on the application. Common designs include concave, convex, and flat faces. These variations impact how the bit breaks up the rock and can be chosen to optimize drilling speed and efficiency based on the specific rock formation.

DTH hammers work by delivering high-pressure bursts of air down the center of the drill string to the back of the drill bit. This compressed air creates a hammering effect that drives the bit into the rock, fracturing it. The spent air then carries the broken rock chips (cuttings) up the center of the drill bit and out of the hole through the hollow center of the drill string. This continuous hammering and flushing action allows for deep and efficient drilling.
