MTB Drifter Drills and Drill Bit Types

MTB drifter drills, as the central and vital component in drill wagon setups, are designed and manufactured to deliver the highest level of performance, durability, and reliability in the toughest mining and civil engineering conditions. Utilizing precision engineering, premium raw materials, and advanced technologies in percussion and rotation systems, these drifters efficiently transfer energy to the drill bit, enabling fast and accurate drilling in various rock types, from soft to very hard. Whether for blast hole drilling, ground stabilization projects, or mineral exploration, MTB drifter drills maximize productivity by reducing drilling time and maintenance costs. Their modular design and easy access to components facilitate service and maintenance, significantly contributing to their extended operational life.

Key Features of MTB Drifter Drills:

• High Impact Power and Penetration: For efficient drilling in diverse rock formations.
• Exceptional Durability and Longevity: Thanks to the use of resistant steel alloys and precise heat treatment.
• Optimal Energy Efficiency: Reducing air or hydraulic oil consumption and saving costs.
• Advanced Lubrication Systems: To protect moving parts and minimize wear.
• High Reliability in Harsh Working Conditions: Stable performance in dusty and humid environments.
• Easy Maintenance and Quick Access to Parts: Minimizing equipment downtime.

Types of MTB Drill Bits: The Spearhead of Drilling Operations

MTB offers a wide range of high-quality drill bits to match various drifter drills and geological conditions. These bits are manufactured using the best grades of tungsten carbide and alloy steels, employing advanced production processes to ensure maximum resistance to wear and fracture. The correct selection of a drill bit plays a key role in drilling speed, hole quality, tool life, and ultimately, the overall operational costs.

Main Types of MTB Drill Bits Include:

• Button Bits: The most popular type for a wide range of rock formations, from soft to very hard. These bits feature various carbide button configurations (spherical, ballistic, parabolic) optimized for different applications such as production drilling, long-hole drilling, and tunneling. High durability and good penetration rates are their defining characteristics.
• Cross Bits: A suitable option for drilling in fractured, fissured, and non-uniform rock. The cross-shaped design helps maintain hole straightness and prevent deviation. They are typically used for smaller diameter holes and in conditions where button bits might be prone to jamming.
• X-Type Bits: Similar to cross bits, these are used for drilling in hard and abrasive rock formations that require a different fracturing pattern.

All MTB drill bits are available with various thread types and diameters to ensure compatibility with different drill rods and drifters. Sintash’s technical consultants are ready to assist you in selecting the optimal MTB drifter drill and drill bits tailored to your specific drilling project needs.
