Down the Hole Drills

A “down the hole” (DTH) drill is a piece of drilling equipment used in mining, construction, and exploration activities. It is specifically designed for drilling large-diameter holes in hard rock formations.

DTH drilling offers several advantages, including high drilling speed, efficient energy transfer, and the ability to drill deep, straight holes even in hard rock formations. It is commonly used in applications such as mineral exploration, blasthole drilling, foundation drilling, and water well drilling.
