ProDrill Shank Adapters cover world main drill rigs brands and drifter as follows : - Atlas Copco (COP1238, COP1840, COP1638, COP1838, COP2150, COP2550, COP2160, COP2560) - Furukawa (HD609, HD709, HD612, HD712) - Sandvik (HL500, HL600, HL700, HL800, HL1000, HL1500, HLX5) - Ingersoll Rand (YH65, YH70, YH80, YH60, YH135) - Montabert (HC109, HC158, HC120, HC150, HC80) Rock drilling tools manufacturer Prodrill produces shank adapters for
most models of current prevailing rock drill machines. All Prodrill
shank adapters are carburized, CNC manufactured, and made from premium
steel. Thus ensure them with superior toughness and anti-fatigue
strength to meet the most demanding drilling conditions. Moreover, all
shanks could be produced with ether male or female threads as per
customer\'s requirement.
HL1000 PE 52-T51-L840 Shank Adapter:
Male shank adapters are
generally better suited for drifting, tunneling and extension
applications where high bending stresses are present. While female shank
adapters are used when the drilling space is limited and the total feed
length is important, for example underground roof bolting.
The
task of the shank adapter is to transmit rotation torque, feed force,
impact energy and flushing medium to the drill string (extension drill rods, drifting drill steels).
Prodrill shank adapters are there fore designed to with stand the high impact power of modern rock drills and
made from specially selected material which also is hardened through
cauterizing. Around 300 different shank adapters suitable for
different rock drills are currently available from Atlas Copco series drifters, Sandvik, Tam rock series drifters, Garden Diver series drifters etc.
Two flushing options of shank adapters: internal or external
— Internal flushing uses a water tube that fits through the center of
the drill and into an o-ring seal in the end of the shank, to transfer
flushing into the drill string
— External flushing, holes or a slot are required in the side of the
shank adapter.These line up between seals inside the front head or water
box of the rock drill,
when the shank is installed. Flushing medium is supplied directly to
this device and is introduced into the drill string through the shank
— External flushing is considered superior to internal flushing, as
greater volumes of flushing agent can be delivered with less risk of
leakage and hammer damage from water
The shanks for hydraulic drills and some pneumatic drills have external
or front head flushing. Hydraulic shanks generally have at least 5 to
14-spline configuration, Pneumatic shanks tend to have internal or
through flushing and can generally be identified by their lugs or
4-spline configuration.
