Core Barrel

A core barrel is an essential tool used in mineral exploration and geotechnical drilling to retrieve high-quality core samples efficiently. Unlike conventional core drilling systems, a core barrel allows core samples to be extracted without pulling out the entire drill string, significantly improving productivity and reducing operational costs. Made from high-strength alloy steel, these barrels are designed for deep drilling and tough geological formations while ensuring maximum core recovery.

Key Features

• Wireline Retrieval System – Enables quick extraction of core samples without removing drill rods.
• Durable Alloy Steel Construction – Provides superior strength, wear resistance, and longevity.
• Precision-Machined Inner & Outer Tubes – Ensures smooth operation and efficient core recovery.
• Available in Standard Sizes (BQ, NQ, HQ, PQ) – Compatible with industry-standard drilling systems.
• Optimized Core Lifter System – Securely holds and retrieves core samples without damage.
• Corrosion & Abrasion Resistant Coatings – Enhances durability in harsh drilling conditions.

Advantages of Core Barrels

• Increased Drilling Efficiency – Reduces time and labor by allowing quick core retrieval.
• Deeper Drilling Capabilities – Designed for extreme depths in mineral exploration.
• High-Quality Core Recovery – Minimizes sample disturbance for accurate geological analysis.
• Lower Operational Costs – Saves fuel, labor, and equipment wear by reducing downtime.
• Safer Drilling Operations – Less manual handling of heavy rods improves site safety.
