Application
Tricone bit is one of the main tools for blast hole and water well drilling. Its life span and performance whether suitable for drilling or not, that has an great influence about the quality, speed and cost of drilling project.
The rock breakage by the tricone bit which used in mine is working with both the impact of teeth and the shear caused by slippage of the teeth, which bring high rock breaking efficiency and the low operation cost.
The tricone bits developed and manufactured by JCDRILL are mainly used for large-scale open-pit mining, such as open-pit coal mines, iron mines, copper mines and molybdenum mines, also the non-metallic mines,water well drilling. With the increasing in variety of type, it's also widely used in quarrying, foundation clearing, hydrogeological drilling, coring, tunneling in railway transportation department and shaft drilling in underground mines.
Characteristics
Soft formation TCI tricone bits:
The soft formation TCI tricone bits are used to drill low compressive strength, very soft formations. This bit maximized to use of both conical and chisel tungsten carbide inserts of large diameters and high projection. This cutting structure design, combined with maximum cone offset, results in high bit penetration rates. The deep intermesh of cutter rows prevents bit bailing in sticky formations.
Medium formation TCI tricone bits:
The medium formation TCI tricone bits features aggressive chisel tungsten carbide inserts on the heel rows and inner rows. This design provides a fast drilling rate and added cutting structure durability in medium to medium hard for mations. The HSN rubber O-ring provides adequate sealing for bearing durability.
Hard formation TCI tricone bits:
The hard formation TCI tricone bits can be used to drill hard and abrasive formations. Wear resistance tungsten carbide inserts are used in the outer rows to prevent loss of bit gauge. Maximum numbers of hemispherical shaped inserts are used in all rows to provide cutter durability and long life.
