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.
