Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling is one of the most efficient and reliable drilling methods used in mining, exploration. It provides high-quality samples quickly and effectively, making it a preferred choice for geologists and drilling professionals. Here’s a breakdown of how RC drilling works:
How RC Drilling Works
1. Airflow Start
o Compressed air flows from the air compressor to the rotary head.
o The air travels down through the RC pipe and into the RC hammer.
2. Drilling Process
o When the air reaches the RC hammer, it impacts the hammer mechanism.
o This starts the drilling process, breaking up rock and soil.
3. Sample Collection
o As drilling continues, compressed air lifts the drill cuttings.
o The cuttings travel up through the inner tube inside the RC pipe.
o The material is pushed up to the surface through the RC hammer.
4. Sample Discharge and Analysis
o The collected cuttings pass through the converter and are discharged into the cyclone.
o At this stage, samples can be collected for geological analysis.
o Alternatively, the cuttings can be cleared away as needed.
Why Choose RC Drilling?
• Fast and Efficient – RC drilling is significantly faster than conventional drilling methods, reducing project time.
• High-Quality Samples – The sample return system ensures minimal contamination, providing reliable data.
• Cost-Effective – With quicker drilling speeds and accurate sample recovery, RC drilling lowers overall costs.
