In mining, water well drilling, and core drilling operations, the performance of DTH (Down-the-Hole) drilling tools directly determines project timelines, costs, and success. Hard rock formations, variable geological conditions, and the need for consistent hole quality demand tools that combine durability, speed, and adaptability. D Miningwell—with 20+ years of experience in mining equipment manufacturing—has engineered a line of DTH drilling tools (including well drilling bits) that meet these challenges head-on. Crafted from high-quality steel and alloy steel, using advanced heat treatment and cemented carbide inserting technology, these tools excel in hard rock environments while delivering cost savings for global clients. For procurement teams sourcing reliable components for mining machinery, water well rigs, or core drilling rigs, D Miningwell’s DTH tools stand out as a proven, high-value solution.

Why D Miningwell DTH Drilling Tools Outperform Competitors

D Miningwell’s DTH down-the-hole drilling tools (especially well drilling bits) are designed to address the most common pain points in drilling operations: frequent bit replacement, slow penetration rates, and high overall costs. Here are their four core advantages:

1. Extended Lifespan: Cemented Carbide for Superior Wear Resistance

The longevity of DTH bits is defined by their ability to withstand abrasion—and D Miningwell’s tools deliver on this front. The cemented carbide used in the bits has a wear ratio 10–20 times higher than that of similar products on the market. This means the bits maintain their sharpness and structural integrity even when drilling through tough formations like granite, limestone, or sandstone. For mining teams running 24/7 operations or water well drillers working on remote sites, fewer bit changes translate to less downtime and lower replacement costs.

2. High Drilling Efficiency: Sharp, Consistent Performance

Drilling efficiency is critical for meeting project deadlines—and D Miningwell’s DTH bits are engineered to keep penetration rates high. The high-hardness cemented carbide inserts retain their sharp edge through hours of operation, ensuring a steady tooth feeding speed. Unlike cheaper bits that dull quickly (forcing teams to slow down or stop), these bits maintain consistent performance, whether you’re drilling a shallow water well or a deep mining hole. For example, when used with a compatible DTH hammer, the DHD350-178 well drilling bit (178mm head diameter) can penetrate medium-hard sandstone at 30% faster rates than standard bits, cutting days off long-term projects.

3. Broad Application Scope: Tailored to Diverse Formations

One of the biggest challenges for procurement teams is finding tools that work across multiple project types—and D Miningwell’s DTH drilling tools excel here. Extensive field testing has proven they perform reliably in medium-hard formations including:
  • Carbonate rock (common in oil and gas exploration)
  • Limestone (prevalent in water well drilling)
  • Chalk (typical in shallow mining projects)
  • Clay rock, siltstone, and sandstone (widely found in mining and construction sites)
This versatility eliminates the need to stock multiple types of bits for different projects, simplifying inventory management and reducing upfront costs.

4. Cost-Effectiveness: Lower Total Drilling Costs

The combination of extended lifespan and high efficiency directly reduces total drilling costs for operators. Faster drilling speeds mean fewer labor hours spent on each hole; fewer bit replacements cut down on material expenses; and reduced tripping (the process of lowering and raising the drill string to change bits) minimizes equipment wear and project delays. For a mid-sized mining operation, this can translate to 15–20% lower drilling costs per project compared to using standard DTH bits.

Technical Specifications: CIR & DHD Series DTH Drilling Bits

D Miningwell offers two core series of DTH well drilling bits to match the pressure requirements of different drilling equipment—ensuring compatibility with most mining machinery, water well rigs, and core drilling rigs.

1. CIR Series: Low-Pressure Performance for Versatile Drilling

The CIR series is designed for low-pressure DTH hammers, making it ideal for water well drilling, shallow mining, and core drilling in less dense formations. Key technical details (selected models) include:
Model Gauge Buttons (mm) Front Buttons (mm) Tail Shank Diameter (mm) Port Holes Weight (KG)
CIR76-76 φ12*5 φ12*3 φ43 2 2.1
CIR90-90 φ14*6 φ132 + φ122 φ53.5 2 3.7
CIR110-150 φ14*8 φ143 + φ136 φ64 3 9.6
CIR170-185 φ16*9 φ146 + φ146 φ102 3 21.8
The CIR series’ port holes (2–3 per bit) optimize airflow and debris removal, preventing clogging and overheating—critical for maintaining efficiency in long drilling shifts. The lightweight design (starting at 2.1kg) also makes handling and installation easier for on-site teams.

2. DHD Series: High-Pressure Power for Hard Rock

The DHD series is engineered for high-pressure DTH hammers, built to tackle deep water well drilling, hard rock mining, and heavy-duty core drilling. Standout technical specifications (selected models) are:
Model Head Diameter (mm) Shank Length (mm) Spline Port Holes Gauge Buttons (mm) Front Buttons (mm) Weight (KG)
DHD25A-76 76 174 6 2 φ14mm*6 φ11mm*4 3.2
DHD35A-100 100 180 8 2 φ14mm*6 φ12mm*5 4.8
DHD350-178 178 260 8 2 φ18mm*8 φ16mm6 + φ14mm5 20.4
DHD380-254 254 350 10 2 φ18mm*12 φ18mm12 + φ16mm8 62.4
The DHD series’ longer shank lengths (up to 350mm) and higher spline counts (6–10) ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection to high-pressure hammers—critical for maintaining stability in deep, hard-rock drilling. The heavy-duty gauge buttons (up to φ18mm*12) deliver maximum cutting force, even in dense formations like granite.
