High Performance 4.5inch Reverse Circulation Hammer with 116mm OD and 1 Year Warranty for Geologic Exploration
The on-board compressor delivers power to a pneumatic reciprocating piston. The piston drives a tungsten-steel drill bit specifically designed to crush hard rock.
Similar to air core drilling, drill cuttings are returned to surface inside rods through dual wall drill rods: an outer drill rod with an inner tube. Compressed air blown through the rod displaces the air, lifting samples to the surface.
Cuttings reach a diverter at the top of the hole, then move through a hose around the cyclone to slow the sample. The sample then passes over a splitter that delivers a percentage into a sample bag. Exploration teams collect samples aligned to hole depth for client logging and lab transport.

- Versatile across terrains: Compared to diamond drilling, Reverse Circulation drilling uses far less water, making it ideal for remote areas where water sourcing can drive up operational costs. With 40% lower operational costs, it's reliable for complex and remote locations.
- Reliable samples: RC drilling keeps samples free of cross-contamination as cuttings travel through the inner tube, not exposed to other hole areas. Samples are labeled by depth and location.
- Workforce and time savings: Cover more ground daily with rapid retrieval of drill cuttings and superior production rates compared to diamond core drilling. Small rig footprint eliminates extensive earthworks.
