Its piston and internal cylinder are machined to tight tolerances, ensuring efficient energy transfer from the compressed air to the drill bit. The hammer operates optimally at air pressures between 10 and 24 bar, with an air consumption range of 10–22 mΒ³/min depending on pressure. The valveless design simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. A precision-ground spline drive and wear-resistant bit shank adaptor ensure secure bit retention and efficient torque transmission. The K80 is compatible with 8-inch DTH bits with a shank type of K80 or equivalent, and it uses standard API 3-1/2" REG pin connections for easy integration. ## Applications The Kaishan K80 excels in a variety of drilling environments. In open-pit mining, it drills blast holes in medium to hard rock such as granite, basalt, and limestone. For quarrying, it delivers consistent penetration rates for aggregate production. In water well drilling, the K80 handles deep formations and provides reliable performance in both consolidated and fractured rock. It is also suitable for foundation drilling, geothermal projects, and construction sites where efficient rock penetration is required. The hammer's balanced design reduces vibration and improves hole straightness, making it ideal for precision drilling tasks. ## Why Choose Kaishan K80 Kaishan is a globally recognized manufacturer of drilling equipment, and the K80 reflects decades of engineering expertise.

Working Principle

The Kaishan K80 DTH hammer operates on the principle of compressed air driving a piston to deliver high-energy impacts to the drill bit. Compressed air is supplied through the drill string to the hammer's inlet. The air enters the internal chamber and pushes the piston forward. When the piston strikes the bit shank, it transfers a powerful impact wave to the drill bit, which fractures the rock. After the impact, the piston retracts as air is redirected to the rear chamber. The exhaust air then flows through the bit's flushing holes, clearing cuttings from the hole and cooling the bit. This cycle repeats rapidly, typically 1,200 to 1,800 blows per minute, depending on air pressure and volume. The K80's valveless design uses the piston itself to control air flow, reducing the number of moving parts and increasing reliability. The hammer's spline drive transmits rotation from the drill string to the bit, ensuring even wear and efficient rock breakage. The combination of high impact energy and continuous flushing results in fast penetration rates and long bit life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended air pressure for the Kaishan K80 DTH hammer?+

The K80 operates optimally at air pressures between 10 and 24 bar (145–350 psi). For best performance, we recommend 18–24 bar when drilling hard rock.

What size DTH bits are compatible with the K80?+

The K80 is designed for 8-inch (203 mm) DTH bits with a K80 shank. It can also accept bits with equivalent shank types from other manufacturers.

What is the air consumption of the K80 hammer?+

Air consumption ranges from 10 to 22 mΒ³/min (350–780 cfm) depending on operating pressure and bit size. Higher pressure yields higher consumption but faster penetration.

How often should I maintain the K80 hammer?+

We recommend inspecting the hammer after every 100–150 drilling hours. Replace worn seals and check the piston and bit shank for wear. Regular lubrication is essential.

Can the K80 be used for water well drilling?+

Yes, the K80 is widely used for water well drilling in rock formations. It performs well in both consolidated and fractured rock when matched with appropriate bits and air compressors.

What is the warranty period for the K80?+

Kaishan offers a 6-month warranty from shipment date against manufacturing defects. Wear parts such as seals and bits are not covered under warranty.
