Epiroc’s new DTH 5 hammers are designed to deliver in the face of all drilling requirements.
Epiroc, a global market manufacturer of drill rigs and hydraulic breakers for the mining, quarrying and construction industries, has launched its DTH 5 (down-the-hole) hammers. The Swedish manufacturer describes this as a revolutionary new range designed to maximise efficiency, boost profitability, and redefine versatility in drilling operations.
The Epiroc DTH 5 hammers are said to deliver an exceptional rate of penetration (ROP) and longer service life, setting a new standard for performance and cost-effectiveness.
Designed to excel in all drilling assignments, Epiroc said these hammers are the perfect choice for companies looking to expand their capabilities, take on new lucrative projects, and increase their competitiveness.
Among the key benefits is versatility, making them ideal for high- and low-impact energy scenarios.
Epiroc stressed that its DTH 5 hammers tackle any rock formation and feature many configurations in a single system. The new range is said to offer superior performance, boosting productivity with fewer interruptions and quicker task changes. There is also an eco-friendly impact, as with the DTH 5 hammers’ reduced manufacturing and transportation needs contribute to lower CO2 emissions and customer sustainability goals.
“We’ve combined the best of our hard-striking QL and robust COP Gold hammers to create a product that not only performs but transforms operations,” Epiroc Rock Drilling Tools global product manager DTH Delaney Erickson said.
“The Epiroc DTH 5 hammers truly pack a serious punch, offering our customers the tools they need to take their businesses to the next level.”
Epiroc said the DTH 5 hammers allow operators to drill more metres per shift, rebuild hammers up to three times with its exclusive E-Kits, and enjoy a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). They can fit all leading brands of compressors and rigs, representing an ideal opportunity for growth and cost savings.
From rig to bit, the Epiroc DTH 5 hammers are designed to optimise every part of your operation, delivering maximum efficiency, profitability and reliability.
