    Rotary Percussive Drilling

    Rotary-percussive drilling uses a drill bit that is mounted on a rotating string of rods. The bit cuts and breaks rock using both rotary and percussive action. Striking shafts receive blows from pistons and transmit them to the drill bit while also rotating due to a separate rotary shaft. Each rotation exposes new surfaces on the bit to the hammering action. The bit penetrates rock through axial thrust, rotation, and impacts from hammering. Compressed air is typically used to both power the drill and flush cuttings from the borehole. This technique is effective for medium to hard rock formations.

    THE TECHNIQUE OF

    ROTARY-PERCUSSIVE DRILLING

    Rotary Percussive Drilling
    The rotary-percussion drill combines
    both rotary(grinding) and
    percussive(chipping and hammering)
    action.

    Drill bit mounted on the end of a


    rotating string of rods, which cuts and
    breaks the rock.
    There are striking shaft and rotary shaft ,
    striking shaft receives blows from pistons
    and transmits them to drill bits.

    Striker shaft is rotated by a rotary shaft , it


    does not transmit the blows to the latter.

    Each rotation provides new surface to the


    drill bits to strike.
    Rotation control at surface
    The bit penetrates the rock under axial
    thrust, rotational torque, along with the
    action of impulsive blow, a combination of
    chipping and breaking of rock is achieved.

    Rotary percussion drilling usually requires


    compressed air, which has dual function, to
    drive the drill bit and also flush out the
    cuttings produced.

    This rotary percussive drilling can be used


    for medium and hard strata only.
