Conventional Coring
Conventional core drilling is a process where drill bits are lowered into the borehole on the end of a drill string, or drill pipe, and rotated manually to create a hole. In this method, the drill bit is connected to the bottom of the drill rod, while the top of the drill rod is connected to the drilling rig’s power source. The drill bit is then rotated, and the drill is slowly lowered into the rock formation. When the drilling reaches a desired depth or a formation boundary, the drill bit is removed, and a core sample is extracted.

Conventional Core Barrels Components
Primarily used in mining, oil and gas exploration and geotechnical engineering. Conventional Core Barrels are used to extract cylinder samples of rock sediment from a formation. During the Drilling process the core barrel is lowered into the borehole and rotation is applied to the entire assembly. As the core bit or cutting shoe penetrates the subsurface, it cuts a cylindrical selection of rock or sediment. The core sample enters the inner tube and is collected within it. Conventional core barrels are typically used in shallow to medium depth drilling applications and their design may vary depending on the specific requirement of the project.

Wireline Coring Bits
Wireline drilling, compared with conventional drilling, is a more advanced drilling technique that uses a specialized cable or wire to retrieve core samples. In wireline drilling, the drill bit is separated from the drill string by a wireline cable, which runs down the borehole. After the core bit cuts through the rock, the core barrel is lifted up the casing by the wireline cable. This process is repeated until the desired depth is reached. Unlike conventional drilling, wireline drilling allows the drill string and mud-rotary system to remain in place, reducing the drill time and improving core recovery rates.

Full Faced PCD Bits
We offer a wide range of full-hole drill bits with polycrystalline diamond cutters (PCD) which are used for numerous applications in mining, civil engineering and the oil and gas industries. These span between small bits 3” diameter used in mines for drilling holes for roof-bolts to larger diameter bits used for horizontal drilling. All these bits have a full tungsten carbide matrix crown imparting a much superior wear resistance than equivalent steel-head bits. PDC drill bits easily beat the performance of conventional roller cone bits, in some cases achieving 10-20 times bit life and 2-3 times the rate of penetration due to their robust structure and heavy weight.
Stepped Drag Bits
Stepped drag bits are a type of drill bit used for drilling holes in soft to medium-hard formations such as sandstone, shale, and clay. These bits are designed with a stepped profile, which means that they have different sizes of cutting elements placed at intervals along the length of the bit. The cutting elements on stepped drag bits are typically made of tungsten carbide or diamond inserts, which provide high wear resistance and durability. The stepped design allows the bit to penetrate the formation more efficiently and reduces the risk of getting stuck in the hole.
Top Hammer Bits
Top hammer bits consist of a steel body with cemented carbide buttons or inserts on the face of the bit. These buttons are arranged in a pattern that maximizes the drilling efficiency and reduces wear on the bit. The carbide buttons are made from a tough and wear-resistant material, which allows the bit to maintain its cutting performance for longer. One advantage of top hammer bits is their versatility, as they can be used for a wide range of drilling applications and are suitable for both surface and underground drilling. They also offer high drilling speed and efficiency, allowing operators to complete drilling projects more quickly.
Jaw Pads
Jaw pads are designed to improve the grip of drilling tools, providing a more secure and comfortable hold. They help prevent slippage or loss of control, allowing operators to exert greater force and accuracy during drilling operations. The use of jaw pads can help reduce the transfer of vibrations from the drill to the operator's hand, minimizing discomfort and fatigue during extended drilling sessions. This is especially beneficial in high-impact drilling applications that generate significant vibrations. Jaw pads provide an added layer of protection for the operator's hand by reducing the risk of injuries caused by repetitive drilling motions or excessive tool vibrations.
Lifting Swivels
In the drilling industry, a lifting swivel is an essential component used in the handling and operation of drilling equipment. It is designed to provide a rotational connection between the drilling rig and the drill string, allowing for the efficient lifting and rotation of various components during drilling operations. A lifting swivel enables the transfer of torque and axial load while allowing rotational movement between the drilling rig and the drill string. It helps prevent the formation of torque-induced stresses in the lifting cables or hoisting system. Our lifting swivels are robust and heavy-duty devices due to the demanding conditions encountered in drilling operations. They are engineered to withstand high loads, resist corrosion, and function reliably in harsh environments
Adapters
Adapters for rock drilling are an essential component of drilling systems used in mining, quarrying, construction, and geotechnical applications. These adapters are used to connect the drill bit to the drill string, allowing for the transfer of rotational force and torque from the drill rig to the bit. Adapters for rock drilling are critical components of the drilling system and play a significant role in the overall drilling performance. The quality and compatibility of the adapter with the drilling rig and bit can have a significant impact on the drilling efficiency and accuracy.
