Air Hammers

The Air Hammer, also known as a Down-the-Hole (DTH) Hammer, is a high-performance drilling tool designed for Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) in extremely hard rock formations. Unlike conventional HDD drill bits, the air hammer uses high-pressure compressed air to deliver rapid percussive blows while rotating, breaking through dense rock with maximum efficiency. Ideal for projects where traditional drilling methods struggle, the air hammer ensures fast and reliable borehole advancement.

Key Features

• High-Impact Percussion Drilling – Delivers rapid blows to fracture rock efficiently.
• Optimized for Hard Rock – Excels in granite, basalt, limestone, and other dense formations.
• Rotational Cutting Action – Enhances drilling speed and precision.
• Durable Tungsten Carbide Drill Bits – Ensures longevity and superior performance.
• Reduced Torque on Drill Pipe – Minimizes stress, extending equipment life.
• Compressed Air Operation – Requires minimal drilling fluid, reducing environmental impact.
• Versatile Compatibility – Works with various HDD rigs and adapter subs.

Advantages of Using an Air Hammer in HDD

• Superior Drilling Speed – Faster penetration compared to traditional HDD bits in hard rock.
• Lower Wear & Maintenance – Less strain on drill pipes and rig components.
• Eco-Friendly Operation – Uses less drilling fluid, minimizing environmental footprint.
• Cost-Effective – Reduces downtime and labor costs by increasing drilling efficiency.
• Reliable Performance – Ensures consistent results in tough geological conditions.
