Epiroc has launched the DTH 5 hammers, a revolutionary new range designed to, the company says, maximise efficiency, boost profitability and redefine versatility in drilling operations.

The Epiroc DTH 5 hammers deliver an exceptional rate of penetration (ROP) and longer service life, setting a new standard for performance and cost-effectiveness, the company added. Designed to excel in all drilling assignments, these hammers are the perfect choice for companies looking to expand their capabilities, take on new lucrative projects and increase their competitiveness.

Some of the benefits Epiroc highlighted include:

• Ideal for high- and low-impact energy scenarios, the Epiroc DTH 5 hammers tackle any rock formation and feature many configurations in one system;
• Boost productivity with fewer interruptions and quicker task changes; and
• Reduced manufacturing and transportation needs contribute to lower CO₂ emissions and sustainability goals.

Delaney Erickson, Global Product Manager DTH at Epiroc Tools division, said: “We’ve combined the best of our hard-striking QL and robust COP Gold hammers to create a product that not only performs but transforms operations. The Epiroc DTH 5 hammers truly pack a serious punch, offering our customers the tools they need to take their businesses to the next level.”

The DTH 5 hammers allow operators to drill more metres per shift, rebuild hammers up to three times with exclusive E-Kits from Epiroc and enjoy a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), the company says. With their ability to fit all leading brands of compressors and rigs, they represent a unique opportunity for growth and cost savings, Epiroc added.
