Double your production rate with the industry's hardest-hitting air hammer.
At home in a variety of rock and soil conditions, StraightLine® steerable Air Hammer Systems' are designed to turn any rig into a rock-drilling machine, capable of drilling at rates up to 150 feet per hour.
Three key design features drive our hammer systems' performance:
-
The StraightLine® hammers incorporates
a heavy-duty outer body, which allows for a larger, harder-hitting piston. For example, the
AH5.0's 30-pound piston is nearly 2x heavier than competitive hammers. Its simple physics:
a heavier piston delivers more percussive force per blow to the bit face which translates
into faster penetration rates.
-
StraightLine® has taken durability
to a whole new level, extending component life up to 10x, driving operating costs down and
profits up. It's no secret, we have simply fitted our ground engaging components with
strategically placed raised carbides that provide serious gage protection. You can think of
it as body armor. For example, our AH5.0 sports 78 raised carbide buttons encasing the bent
sub and running the entire length of the transmitter housing.
-
The StraightLine® Air Hammer System
combines powerful hammering action with our precise two-point steering system to successfully
navigate a wide variety of ground conditions. No matter whether you are faced with solid
hard-rock formations, soft rock formations or intermittent conditions such as boulders separated
by soil our Air Hammer systems will hit your target.
