A down-the-hole drill, usually called DTH by most professionals, is basically a screwed on the bottom of a . The fast hammer action breaks hard rock into small cuttings and dust that are evacuated by a fluid (air, water or ). The DTH hammer is one of the fastest ways to drill hard rock. The system is thought to have been invented independently by Stenuic. DTH drilling rig, short for Down-The-Hole drilling rig, is a cornerstone of modern drilling technology. Renowned for its efficiency, precision, and versatility, this equipment has revolutionized industries ranging from mining and construction to geothermal energy exploration.
[pdf] In DTH drilling, the percussion mechanism – commonly called the hammer – is located directly above the drill bit. The drill pipes transmit the necessary feed force and rotation to the hammer and the bit, along with the fluid (air, water or drilling mud) used to actuate the hammer and flush the cuttings. The drill pipes are added to the drill string successively behind the hammer as the hole gets deeper.
