Products Description
KATDRILLS Drill tube
Round guide rod, also called Drill Tube
In top hammer drilling operations, guide tubes and drill tubes serve as two core drill rods components, working in tandem for both surface bench drilling in open-pit mines and long-hole drilling in underground mining scenarios.
The drill tube is primarily used to increase drilling tool strength, enhance impact energy transfer, conduct deep hole drilling, or maintain drilling hole stability.

Production Equipment


Drill Tube Application
In top hammer drilling, drill tubes are typically utilized in the following scenarios:
Reinforcing the drilling system
Drill tubes are deployed for reinforcing the drilling system when operating in hard rock formations or under adverse drilling conditions. They enhance the overall structural rigidity and stability of the system, thereby mitigating vibration and abrasive wear on drilling components.
Optimizing impact energy transmission
Drill tubes improve the efficient transmission of impact energy from the hammer to the drill bit. This functionality is critical for drilling in dense or highly abrasive rock formations, where maximizing impact energy transfer is essential to ensure efficient drilling performance.
Enabling deep-hole drilling
Extended drill strings are a prerequisite for deep-hole drilling operations. Drill tubes enable the assembly of longer drill strings via serial connection, allowing drilling operations to reach target deep borehole depths.
Maintaining borehole drilling stability
In unstable or fractured rock formations, drill tubes provide supplemental structural support to maintain drilling stability, minimizing the risks of borehole deviation and collapse during the drilling process.
Features
1.Full carburizing treatment is applied to boost surface hardness, thereby enhancing the drill rods' wear resistance and extending their service life.
2.23CrNi3Mo alloy steel is adopted as the base material, a grade that stands on par with Sandvik Sandbar 64.
3.Exceptional cost-efficiency with superior performance at a competitive price point.
4.A comprehensive range of drill rod variants available to suit diverse drilling applications and working scenarios.
