Drill Steel Hex of rock drill bits manufacturer ProDrill, rock drilling tools.
It is common practice to bump up the drive
end of drifting drill steel for added strength at the rock drill end to accommodate
larger diameter and shank adapters. Drill steel is available in many standard
lengths to match the drill feeds on a multitude of available drifting jumbos.Since the coupling does not enter the hole,
a bit diameter closer to the steel diameter can be used. This enhances flushing
and hole accuracy.
Drill bits, Couplings, Shank Rods and Tunnel Rods. Rod lengths 2440mm to 6435mm, (8’-21’)in R25, R28,R35 bit end threads with standard shank end thread types. Hexagon body of H25-H35 and Round 39. Male/Female Tunnelling Rods are also available on 35mm Hexagon and 39mm Round.
• The cross sectional dimension of material
is measured across the flat
• Cross sections are more rigid, heavier
& transfer energy more efficiently
• Reduces the annuls in the drill hole for
better flushing
• Smaller space combined with the corners
of the steel create turbulence in the hole
• Keeps the heavier cuttings moving,
especially with horizontal holes
• The rigidity of the cross section makes
it possible to use a larger thread
Rope Thread R32
• Rope threads have a low pitch, 12.7 mm
and a small angle of profile
• Sizes: 22 mm – 38 mm
• Good wear properties but poor uncoupling
• Ideal for single pass or short hole
drilling such as underground tunneling applications, that require infrequent
uncoupling
• Rope thread larger than R32 is not recommended
for extension drilling, especially with high powered drills that have high
rotational torque as they will be difficult to uncouple
T thread T38
• HM thread or "T" thread has a larger
pitch and a larger angle of profile than the Rope thread
• Sizes 38 mm, 45 mm and 51 mm
• Excellent wear properties and good
coupling qualities
• It is ideal for extension drilling with
multiple steel, compatible with heavy high torque rock drills for surface and
underground applications
Boomer for Drifting and Tunneling to use drifting drill rod MF or MM type. Hex32, Hex 35 Hex 28.
