Maintaining a DTH Hammer and DTH Bit is essential for ensuring consistent drilling efficiency and reducing operational costs. Both tools experience high levels of stress during drilling, which can lead to wear and tear if not properly cared for.
Regular inspection of the DTH Bit is necessary to identify worn or damaged cutting edges. When bits become dull, drilling speed decreases and the hammer experiences increased stress, potentially leading to premature failure. Changing bits according to the working conditions helps maintain drilling quality.
Similarly, the DTH Hammer requires cleaning to remove dust and debris that could affect the internal components. Proper lubrication of the hammer’s moving parts can reduce friction and wear. Additionally, operators should check the seals and valves for signs of leakage.
Implementing a routine maintenance schedule for both the DTH Hammer and the DTH Bit ensures that the equipment performs reliably. Such practices not only extend tool life but also improve drilling accuracy and efficiency, which is valuable for ongoing projects.
