Diamond Impregnated Bits
The impregnated diamond core bit has emerged as the most commonly used type in the mineral exploration industry. The advantages of using impregnated diamond core bits over bits manufactured with other cutting media.
- An extremely wide range of application
- Well suited for drilling in hard, consolidated, non-abrasive formations
- Long service life when correct matrix series is chosen
We manufacture all different sizes.
Surface Set Diamond Bits
Surface set diamond bits are primarily recommended for use in drilling relatively soft, abrasive, unconsolidated formations. They can also be useful when drilling harder formations where the available rotational speeds and bit loads preclude the use of impregnated diamond bits.
Reaming Shells
The reamer shell is used to stabilize the drilling system and to maintain the hole diameter. All our reamer shells a produced with the best grade diamond for consistent performance and to withstand the toughest drilling conditions.
Casing Shoes
Casing shoes are used to advance the outer drill string through the overburden, and to assist seating the drill string into the bedrock, thus providing a tight seal for circulating drilling fluids back to the surface. The casing shoe is the most commonly used as it has the widest range of application and is generally the most efficient tool for advancing casing through overburden layers. Our casing shoes are designed and manufactured to work under a wide range of drilling conditions. Depending on the range of application, the cutting media on the core bit may take the form of synthetic diamond, tungsten-carbide particles or tungsten-carbide elements.
