Read MoreDrilling and blasting is the controlled use of explosives and other methods, such as gas pressure blasting pyrotechnics, to break rock for excavation. It is practiced most often in mining, quarrying and civil engineering such as dam, tunnel or road construction. The result of rock blasting is often known as a rock cut. Drilling and blasting currently utilizes many different varieties of explosives wit

Read More2023.2.11 With the introduction of mechanized drilling machines, parallel hole cut was introduced 11. All holes are drilled parallel to each other in this type of cut. A large drill hole is used as an opening for blasting. The most used parallel hole cut method today is the four-section large hole cut, which is also known as the Swedish method.

Machine tunneling is comparatively new, having come into general us.e since the 1950s; the drilling and blast ing method has been practiced for several centuries. This leads to speculation as to whether the machine will com
Read More2019.6.4 In smaller holes, it is most common in softer rock formations. The drilling principle is to use a high pull down force (weight-on-bit), rotate the drill bit, and blow the rock cuttings to the surface with compressed air. Hardrock drills typically use the Rotary method to drill blastholes from 200 mm (7 7 /8”) to 311 mm (12 ¼”) diameter.

Read MoreThe HPE drilling rigs for ore pass development (up to 55 m), drilling of drain holes (up to 140 m) and reefboring (up to 30 m) use water operated DTH hammer technology. Holes are drilled from the bottom up and the drilling rigs are small enough to drill from a 3 m x 3,5 m tunnel, thereby eliminating the need for increasing the excavation size.

Read MoreRotary crushing is a drilling method, which was originally used for drilling oil wells, but it is now days also employed for the blast hole drilling in large open pits and hard species of rocks. In rotary drilling energy is transmitted via drill rod, which rotates at the same time as the drill bit is forced down by high feed force.
