  • Product Detail Introduction

Product Summary: Kaishan High Air Pressure DTH Hammers are precision-engineered percussive rock drilling tools that convert compressed air into high-frequency impact energy to fracture hard rock formations (f=6–20). Featuring an advanced valveless, footvalve-free design, the K-series (K3, K4, K5, K6, K8, and K10) operates at working pressures of 10 to 35 bar (1.0–3.5 MPa) across hole diameters from ⌀90 mm to 311 mm (3.5" to 12"). By eliminating vulnerable plastic foot valves, these hammers achieve 15%–30% faster penetration rates, reduce oil consumption by 10%, and fit standard international shanks including DHD340, DHD350, DHD360, DHD380, and COP series.

Industrial High-Impact DTH Hammers for Mining & Deep Water Wells

In down-the-hole (DTH) percussion drilling, the drill rig, portable air compressor, and downhole string form an integrated system. The DTH hammer is the critical downhole engine: mounted directly behind the button bit, its reciprocating internal piston strikes the bit shank continuously at frequencies up to 20–31 Hz, transmitting impact shock waves directly into rock without energy loss through long drill rods.

Kaishan's next-generation K-series hammers are optimized for demanding open-pit bench blasting, dimensional quarrying, civil foundation anchoring, and geothermal water well drilling. All internal components undergo computer-controlled vacuum carburization and cryogenic hardening, ensuring high structural fatigue resistance and long service life.

Key Engineering Advantages: Footvalve-Free Architecture

Eliminates Foot Valve Failures

Traditional hammers rely on plastic foot valves on the bit shank that frequently crack or expand under heat. Kaishan's footvalve-free design prevents downhole sticking and eliminates broken nylon debris.

15%–30% Higher Penetration Speed

The streamlined valveless air distribution circuit delivers higher impact frequencies (up to 31 Hz at 17 bar) and superior single-blow kinetic energy, accelerating penetration in hard rock.

Reduced Air & Lubricant Consumption

Tightly toleranced internal clearances minimize pneumatic leakage, cutting overall air consumption while reducing rock drill lubricating oil usage by approximately 10%.

Quick Field Disassembly

The top sub, external wear sleeve cylinder, and drive chuck connect via multi-step heavy-duty ACME threads, allowing rapid field servicing and parts replacement without specialized hydraulic breakout benches.
