DTH Hammers

DTH Hammers

DTH (Down-the-Hole) hammers are critical components in modern drilling operations, commonly used in mining, construction, geotechnical exploration, and water well drilling. They are designed to operate in conjunction with DTH drill bits, and the combination forms a powerful drilling system.

DTH hammers work on a percussion principle. High-pressure air is forced down the drill string to the hammer, where it is used to strike a piston. This action generates a high-frequency, high-impact force that is transmitted to the drill bit, effectively breaking and dislodging rock or other materials.

DTH hammers are available in a range of sizes, from small units used for water well drilling to large hammers used in mining and oil exploration. The choice of size depends on the specific drilling requirements and conditions.
