Mining
DTH hammers, tricone bits, RC and drill string for continuous operation in underground and open-pit mining.
Tricone Bits
Featured application
Reverse circulation (RC): a drilling system that recovers cuttings through the inside of the tool using reverse airflow, allowing samples to be obtained quickly and cleanly. Reverse circulation (RC) tricone bit: a tricone bit designed for exploration drilling that combines cone cutting with sample recovery through reverse air circulation. SEALED AND LUBRICATED JOURNAL BEARING WITH A TUNGSTEN CARBIDE HARDENED RACE. LEG PROTECTION WITH FLAT TUNGSTEN CARBIDE INSERTS AND ABRASION-RESISTANT HARDFACING.
