Dry pneumatic down-the-hole drill model
The utilization of pneumatic DTH hammer drilling is the most efficient approach to rescue miners. The previous DTH hammer's impact model was simplified and the analysis of impact parameters was incomplete, hi. [pdf]

What is a down-the-hole drill?
A down-the-hole drill, usually called DTH by most professionals, is basically a jackhammer screwed on the bottom of a drill string. The fast hammer action breaks hard rock into small cuttings and dust that are evacuated by a fluid (air, water or drilling mud). The DTH hammer is one of the fastest ways to drill hard rock.
What is down-the-hole drilling (DTH)?
Down-the-hole drilling (DTH) essentially involves a drilling hammer at the bottom of a drill string. It relies on three elements for drilling holes: bit loading (weight), rotation and air. These active elements combine to be efficient at crushing rock. As the drill string slowly rotates, the drilling hammer is forced into the rock repeatedly.
How does DTH hammer drilling work?
A flushing current conveys the loosened drill cuttings upwards and exits at the upper end of the casing. If you have any further questions, please contact our local sales or service team. DTH hammer drilling is a percussive drilling process powered by compressed air.
Why is DTH drilling better than top hammer drilling?
DTH drilling offers several advantages over top-hammer drilling for larger, deeper holes in medium-hard formations. Because the hammer is at the bottom of the hole, power loss is minimal as the hole deepens.
How do you drill a rock with a DTH hammer?
This method is mainly applied for hard to very hard rock and/or for penetrating large boulders. 1. Setting the DTH hammer with drill rod and casing on the drilling point. 2. Rotary and percussive drilling of the drill string under compressed air supply. 3. After reaching the final depth, unlocking of the drill rod with DTH hammer and pilot bit.
What makes a DTH drill system different from other drilling systems?
The advent of tungsten carbide for the drill bits (the first bits were all-steel) and the development of the button drill bit coupled with the introduction of high air pressures (25 bar plus) has meant that the DTH system can compete easily and efficiently with other drilling systems.
