Introduction to Down-the-Hole (DTH) Drilling:

The Down-the-Hole drill achieves efficient drilling operations through the horizontal propulsion of the thruster combined with the rotation of the drill pipe.This equipment can not only drill continuously but also simultaneously complete soil sample collection and mud recycling, significantly improving drilling efficiency.

Down the hole drilling is a rock drilling method that uses a down the hole impactor to directly impact the drill bit at the bottom of the hole and rotate it.


Main application scenarios of down the hole drilling rig:

1. Mineral exploration: mainly used for drilling underground rock core samples, analyzing and evaluating the distribution of mineral resources, and providing scientific basis for subsequent mineral mining.


2. Quarrying and Mining: Widely used in open-pit mining operations, efficient mining of ores and stones is achieved through precise drilling and blasting of holes, while ensuring operational safety.


3.Application in construction engineering: In various foundation engineering and tunnel construction, it is mainly used for key construction operations such as drilling anchor holes and grouting holes, providing guarantees for the stability and construction quality of building structures.


 Down-The-Hole Drills


The application conditions for down-the-hole drills include: medium-hard to extremely hard rock formations, large-diameter deep-hole rock drilling, and open-pit or underground mining operations.

Due to its good mobility, the mining drill rig is particularly suitable for construction sites that require frequent movement. In addition, it is important to note that a high-pressure air system must be equipped as a power source when using a mining drill rig.
