DTARobit DR43 Reverse Circulation Hammer Complete the Set

Posted on by Jari Silver

DTARobit Australia have completed trialling of the new DR43 Reverse Circulation hammer.

The DR43 has an overall length of 1105 mm and weighs just 45 Kg without the bit, making it a manageable weight, reducing the manual handling risk. It has a cylinder OD of 107 mm and runs bits in a range from 114 mm (4½”) to 127 mm (5”). The DR43 is designed to operate efficiently at pressures between 350 to 500 psi.

The hammer design promotes improved sample recovery in difficult ground conditions.

The innovative design of the DR43 allows for the Adaptor Screen, Check Valve Spring and Plunger, Adaptor Tube and Sample tube to all be removed through the top sub, eliminating the need to break the hammer down to replace any of these components. This significantly reduces the number of times the hammer needs to be broken out on the rig, making this a much safer and quicker operation.

The DR43 joins DTARobit’s family of proven RC hammers, the DR38 (Bit Range 102 mm – 114 mm), DR44 (130 mm – 140 mm), DR53 and DR53 Retention (133 mm – 143 mm) and the DR55 and DR55 Retention (137 mm – 149 mm).

The Robit Group is proud of its long and innovative history in the Reverse Circulation drilling industry. Remet Engineers and BulrocRobit both members of the Robit Group of companies are pioneers in RC drilling technology. Remet developed the world’s first dual wall drill pipe used in mineral exploration drilling and BulrocRobit developed the world’s first true reverse circulation hammer. This history combined with continual innovation means you can drill with confidence that the DTARobit range of RC hammers, bits and drill string will deliver your client a quality sample, every time.

The hammer has been trialled by respected WA drilling contractor Strike Drilling, in 2 separate locations. The initial phase of the trial was overseen by DTA Robit product support and design engineering personnel. The hammer has now been drilling successfully for several months and is now ready to go to market.

Clay Schmidt, Strike’s Field Operations Manager, has had excellent feedback, with the drillers using the hammer seeing increased penetration rates, better sampling characteristics and ease of operation compared to the competitor’s hammer. “The new design allows for easy assembly and breakdown of the hammer. The upper and lower sample tubes can be replaced without breaking down the hammer making it extremely easy to service in the field”, said Clay.

Posted on by Jari Silver

Robit Plc held a grand opening ceremony on February 8th, 2018 to mark the completion of its major productional investment in South Korea. The new production facility is located in Foreign Investment area in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-Do, South Korea.

Local politicians attended the opening ceremony together with a crowd of stakeholders. Harri Sjöholm, Robit Plc’s Chairman of the Board, expressed his thoughts: “Korea has been a really positive surprise for Robit. Korea has been an excellent place for manufacturing drill steels. Therefore, it was easy to make the decision for the new investment. Robit has manufacturing units in Finland, UK, USA and Australia. Out of these, Korean unit was clearly the best unit last year. I want to thank our Korean team for the excellent work.”

The new major productional facility is to meet even better the growing demand for rods and shanks of Top Hammer product line. Hwaseong production increases significantly manufacturing capacity in South Korea as well as automation level of the production of rod and shank products. In addition, the throughput time will be significantly shortened, which improves the delivery capability and service level to customers. The new production facility has been built close to Seoul, which further improves logistical connections.

The total investment related to the production facility is approximately USD 12,4 million.

Hwaseong production facility is one of Robit Group’s six manufacturing plants each one having its own focus ensuring good availability of products and service while enabling efficiency as well as supporting future growth. The company has Top Hammer line production in Finland and South Korea as well as Down the Hole line production in Australia, UK and USA.
