Drilling & Blasting  


Atlas Copco Secoroc has lauched what it calls "the latest innovation in rotary drilling", the Secoroc PARD system. Secoroc PARD combines a unique, high frequency, low impact DTH hammer and a specially designed tricone drill bit that is mounted onto a standard rotary drill rig and drill string.

The result is a combination of percussive power and rotational force that provides significant increases in the rate of penetration. The Secoroc PARD hammer is designed to operate at pressures from 50 to 110psi, which is low compared to standard DTH hammers. Optimal air flow is achieved with a unique Secoroc PARD parallel air flow system, which distributes the air proportionately between the hammer and the tricone drill bit.
