Down-the-hole (DTH) hammers are pneumatic percussion tools that act as a jackhammer at the bottom of a drill string, using compressed air to drive a piston for high-speed rock drilling. offering fast penetration rates and straight hole stability.
DTH hammer bits include various types such as button bits, which are essential for down-the-hole drilling. Applications: DTH hammer bits are used in construction, mining, and water well drilling, providing cost-effective solutions for various drilling needs.
Specifications
Sizes: Ranging from 3 inches to 24 inches in diameter.
Powered by compressed air to drive a piston, which impacts the drill bit, specialized tools are available to browse and select different hammer models.
Applications: Widely used in mining (blast holes)
Advantages
