The bit is the tool cutting the rock, and no hammer or rig drilling is better than the bit it uses. Down-the-hole bit are subject to severe stress from the striking piston as well as from the abrasive cuttings passing the bit at high velocity.
Down-the-hole hammers. Down-the-hole bits DTH Drill Bits are designed to make operations easier by drilling further, whatever the conditions. They have optimized head length with maximized steel support for the cemented carbide buttons, deep face grooves for excellent flushing and an aggressive cutting structure.
A down-the-hole hammer provides a solution to the problem of removing hard rock barriers encountered in a bore. The DTH hammer resembles a small jack hammer. It screws onto the end of a drill string like a section of drill pipe. Like the jack hammers used above ground, it's air-powered with a high cyclic rate; unlike jack …
A 4 inch hammer will drill a 4 inch (102 mm) hole. The limiting factor is the outside diameter of the hammer, because, as hole diameter reduces, airflow is restricted. Maximum hole size for production drilling is the …
The Wassara technology uses water to power the down-the-hole (DTH) percussion hammer. This makes it the superior choice for many drilling applications where air-powered DTH hammer, top hammer or rotary drilling equipment are normally used. You can find out more about each hammer size by choosing from the list below: W50 (2″) Hammer;

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 large diameter boreholes in hard rock formations, typically ranging from 3 …
As a rule of thumb, the smallest hole diameter a DTH hammer can drill is its nominal size. i.e. standard 102 mm (4") hammer will drill a hole down to a minimum diameter of 102 mm (4"). The limiting factor is the outside diameter of the hammer, because as the hole diameter reduces due to diameter wear of the bit, airflow is restricted.
Among the numerous hydraulic percussion drilling rigs used in drilling operations, the fluidic down-the-hole hammer (fluidic hammer for short) has become one of the most promising tools (Zhang et al., 2018b, 2019). It solves the challenges associated with hard rock drilling, bit stick-slip, and excessive friction along the drill string.
The down- the-hole hammer uses the rotary percussion cutting action through the use of a button bit. This system is best suited for well consolidated formations, offering excellent penetration rates. Compressed air provides the percussive energy to power the hammer. The resulting exhaust removes the cuttings. Note the quality of the cuttings.
Down-the-hole hammers. DTH hammers combine intensive impact power with low energy loss and reduced fuel consumption. They offer good rock breakage, high …
