Overburden drilling with hydraulic hammer drill

During overburden drilling both drill strings are inserted into the ground with rotary percussion drills. The rotational direction of both drill strings is the same. Both strings are driven by one drive. During this process the drilling waste is flushed out by a flushing medium in the annulus space between the outer and inner tube.

EMDE offers you all the equipment and components you need for overburden drilling with hydraulic hammer drills.
