Prodrill Drifting And Tunneling Equipment
For Sandvik DD442iE Tunneling and Drifter:
Drill Bits, Couplings, Shank Rods, and Tunnel Rods. Rod lengths from 2’(609.6mm) to 21’( 6400.8mm ) in 100R, 112R, 125R, R35 bit end threads with standard shank end thread types. Hex body of 7/8’’( 22.225mm ) to 1-1/2’’( 38.1mm ) and 1-1/4’’( 31.75mm ) round. Male/ Female Tunneling Rods are available in 1-1/4’’(31.75mm) round.
R Thread Button Bits
Has good wear properties
• It is ideal for single pass or short hole drilling such as underground tunneling application that require infrequent uncoupling
• It is available in sizes 22 mm-38 mm
The task of the shank adapter is to transmit rotation torque, feed force, impact energy and flushing medium to the drill string.
Male shank adapters are generally better suited for drifting, tunneling & extension applications where high bending stresses are present
Female shank adapters are used when the drilling space is limited and the total feed length is important (i.e., underground roof bolting)
Hex rod/Drifting drill rod.
These rods are typically more heavier than round rods and transfer energy more efficiently
• They have better flushing characteristics especially with horizontal drilling
• The rigidity of their cross section makes it possible to use a larger thread
• Normally used in extension drilling application
• They are available in large cross-sectional diameters
• Typically lighter than hexagonal rods of an equivalent size
If with coupling, drill rod with male to male thread type we call them M-M Rod, extension rod. If without coupling, drill rod with female to male thread type we call them MF rod, or speed rod, now more and more miner like to use MF rod in drilling and blasting for mining.
Prodrill offers absolutely top quality drifting and tunneling equipment for mining and quarrying.
