HAMMERS
Designing and building a Down the Hole Hammer, requires achieving
two main features: drilling speed and durability. Optimizing these two
parameters, under which a hammer is judged, requires facing hard
technical challenges, in order to address conflicting design goals.
In addition, the different industries where hammers are used, usually
involve very different rock formations. This means that meeting these
two performance goals under such varying drilling contexts, is seldom
achieved by a single tool, either a hammer or a drill bit.
Drillcos design philosophy is to develop customized hammer lines,
tuned to these different drilling conditions. Additionally, other
performance parameters, pertinent to specific industries, such as
directional control, back pressure handling, sample recovery and the
like, pose additional design challenges for drilling hammers.
Our company strives to design its hammers in close collaboration with
selected customers, who bring their extensive drilling experience and
operational insight, providing invaluable design inputs for Drillcos
engineers.
