Drifter Rod

Drifter rod is mainly used on the full hydraulic drifting jumbo. This drifting drill rod can be used for roadway excavation blasting and anchor hole drilling in underground mine, as well as used for the excavation of traffic tunnels, hydropower engineering diversion tunnels,underground engineering, etc.

Litian is a well-established drifter rod suppliers, we have two drifter rod factory in China. Our drifter rod has excellent performance in wear resistance, flexibility, and service life, and can fully meet the drilling requirements of various rock hardness. 

We offer drifter drill rods with various threads, such as R32-R28 drifter rod,  R38-R32 drifter rod, T38-R32 drifter speed rod, T38-SR35 drifter rod, etc.

Drifter Rods

Features:

· Integral Design: Unlike extension rods, drifter rods are typically single-piece tools.

· Optimized for Percussion: Designed to withstand the high-impact forces from drifter drills.


Applications:

· Horizontal Drilling: Commonly used in tunneling and underground mining where horizontal or inclined drilling is required.

· Rock Bolting: Ideal for rock bolting operations in mining and construction for stabilizing rock formations.

· Drift and Tunnel Development: Essential in creating drifts and tunnels due to their robust design and ability to handle high-impact drilling.


Characteristics:

· High Strength: Constructed to endure intense percussive forces and vibrations.

· Stability: Provides excellent stability and precision in horizontal and inclined drilling.

· Specialized Threads: Often equipped with specific thread types to match the drifter equipment.



Drifting Drill Rod Features

Drifter rod is a kind of threaded drill rod used in conjunction with a hydraulic trolley, and is widely used in face drilling and bolting in underground mining and tunnel excavation operations.


The main thread types of drifter rods are R25, R28, R32, R35, T38, which can be divided into extension rods and speed rods, hexagonal rods and round rods. Among them, hexagonal extension rods are mostly used. As a reliable drifter rod factory and drifter rod suppliers, Litian is committed to supplying a variety of standard lengths of drifting drill rod (ranging from 600mm to 6440mm in length) to match most face drilling rigs. 


We use specific high-quality steels to maximize the wear resistance, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance of drifter rod. In production processing, through advanced machining technology, our drilling tools have higher rock penetration, which can greatly reduce the deflection to improve the straightness of the drilling hole, and ultimately  reduce the overall production cost. 


Whether in the selection of steel materials or in the optimization of processing technology, we have been exploring, developing and optimizing rock drilling tools all the time in combination with the feedback of field tests.
