DTH Hammer
The purpose is to drill long and accurate holes in hard rock mining conditions. The DTH hammer is used on the Long Hole Drilling Rig as well as the Reef Boring Drilling Rig.
- DTH Hammer can operate on normal mine service water unless it is excessively contaminated
- Even then the hammer will continue to operate but life of hammer will be affected
- Uncomplicated design and with few working parts it is easy to repair on site without applying high level skills
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
- Cooling and dust suppression
- Elimination of inhalation of lubricating oil vapours and noxious fumes associated with compressed air products
- Low and acceptable noise levels
