Working Principle
The Kaishan K6 DTH hammer operates on the principle of down-the-hole percussion, where compressed air is used to drive a piston inside the hammer. The piston strikes the drill bit directly, transferring impact energy to the rock without loss through the drill string. The hammer is attached to the bottom of the drill pipe and rotates slowly while the bit hammers the rock. Exhaust air from the hammer flushes cuttings out of the hole, keeping the bit clean and cool. This design allows for efficient drilling in hard rock formations with minimal energy loss. The K6's internal valve system controls the reciprocating motion of the piston, ensuring consistent impact frequency and energy. The hammer's simple structure and robust components enable reliable operation and easy maintenance, making it a preferred choice for demanding drilling applications.
