A hammer is only as good as the bit it uses – and no bit is better than Secoroc DTH bits. Energy transferred through the hammer to the bit enables the bit to cut the rock. To withstand the stresses generated by the hammer and the abrasive wear of the cuttings flowing past at high velocity, a bit has to be tough. To ensure that the quality in every bit produced, a manufacturer must have control. Atlas Copco controls the manufacture of Secoroc bits from start to finish. Secoroc buttons are manufactured in-house resulting in exceptional and consistent quality. Everything from the milling of the raw tungsten carbide and cobalt to sintering, grinding and pressing them into the bit body is all done by Atlas Copco. In the quest for higher penetration rates, the Secoroc Ballistic bit is proven and is being used to drill the hardest rock formations. The economics of drilling often comes down to balancing penetration against bit life. A rule of thumb says that a 10% increase in penetration rate results in a reduction of 20% in bit life. Secoroc bits improve drilling economy regardless of what hammer is used or whether optimized penetration rate or bit life is preferred.

Oil & Gas Drilling Bits

Bits for oil & gas applications

Atlas Copco Secoroc presents the latest in rotary drilling equipment – Focus rotary drill bits. This new range, suited for blast hole, water well, HDD and exploration drilling applications, is designed to withstand the ever-increasing forces and rotational speeds of today’s rotary drill rigs while offering market-leading performance. State-of-the-art engineering has resulted in new designs and insert shapes that facilitate excellent penetration rates in both soft rock and hard abrasive rock. In fact, there is a wide variety of models to fulfill the needs of professional Rotary drillers.

As much as 90% of the land surface of the earth is covered with loose, unconsolidated material such as soil, clay, silt, sand, gravel and boulders, which varies in depth from a few centimeters to hundreds of meters. Drilling through this so-called overburden is often problematic, due to the tendency of the earth to cave in behind the drill bit. This makes it difficult to retrieve the drill string after the hole has been drilled. In practice, the bore hole is often lost before a casing tube can be inserted to support it. Other problems are caused by cavities or porous ground, which interfere with the circulation of the flushing medium and prevent the drill cuttings from being flushed out of the hole. In places where overburden strata are mixed, or when their drill ability is unknown, it is difficult for the driller to decide what tools to use in order to get the best overall results without risking the loss of equipment in the hole.    Odex overburden/foundation drilling bits

Top Hammer Drilling Bits

Secoroc’s new FOCUS-21 button bits for bench and productions drilling have been specially designed for hard to very hard and abrasive rock formations. Rigorous testing with the new flat front ballistic button bit has shown not only a considerable increase in penetration rate but also a substantially longer service life – up to 30%.
