Continuous full-load operation (load rate>90%) accelerates component wear and may shorten life to 6-8 years. Reasonably control the load rate (recommended 70%-85%), and avoid frequent starts and stops through frequency conversion control or air tank adjustment.
[pdf] DTH hammersare most used in hard rock formations and are designed to tackle complex tasks like drilling in populated areas without putting existing structures at risk. In these areas, they are ideal for drilling larg.
[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.
