Air supply sized to the hammer and hole
Air compressors for DTH drilling and quarry air demand. In DTH work the compressor is not a peripheral — hole cleaning depends on it, and under-supplying air is a common cause of slow drilling and rapid bit wear.
Cuttings must be lifted out of the hole as the bit makes them. If air volume is short the bit re-grinds its own cuttings, penetration drops and the bit wears out early.
Raising pressure does not compensate for insufficient volume. We match both to the hammer specification rather than quoting the largest available unit.
Where we supply the drill rig too, compressor and hammer are specified as one set so the air supply is correct by design.
Values we can state from real applications, with the basis for each one.
Every specification above is confirmed against your material, machine and site conditions before an order is placed.
We specify against the job rather than the catalog. These are the facts that decide the answer for anything in Quarry Equipment.
This product is specified as part of a set. These are the wire families and product groups it is normally combined with — final selection depends on the material, the machine and the site conditions.
Actual applications with the equipment, tooling and working conditions recorded.
Cutting speed 8–10 m²/hour. Wire lifetime 20–24 m² per meter. Stable cutting with no wire breaks recorded, and measurably reduced downtime.
All 18 wire saw machines still in service, including the original unit. A partnership that has run from the early Keentool days through to the current
Higher output per shift, with wire life stable enough to plan production around rather than react to.
How this equipment and tooling performs in real quarry and construction conditions.
Send the material, the machine and the working conditions. We will come back with a specification that suits the job — and say plainly where a limit exists.
