From mining to construction, the rock drill is a dynamic tool capable of creating holes in rocks with its powerful drilling action. This machine is often used to facilitate explosives in the mining profession, but its applications don’t end there – it can also be used to create holes for anchors and post holes in the constructions industry.
Alexander Graham Bell, known for his innovations in the early 1800s, sought an efficient way to drill through the rock in order to search for oil. After much trial and error, he crafted a mechanical contraption featuring a revolving drill bit. This device marked the commencement of drilling technology and opened the doors to further discovery.
Bell effectively brought rock drilling into the modern era with his steam-powered engine, albeit slowly. It could barely cut through two feet of rock in an hour, yet still, it set the stage for other innovative thinkers to make extraordinary advancements in rock drilling. They strived to ameliorate the tools speed and forcefulness, revolutionizing how rock drilling was done.
Advancing technology has made it so that these days, the majority of rock drills are operated with the help of hydraulics. Compared to its steam-powered predecessors, the modern hydraulic rock drill runs a lot faster and can swiftly bore through 100 feet in an hour.
To create deep holes in rocks, engineers employ an innovative method – hydraulic rock drills. They relentlessly bombard the surface of the rock with a high-pressure burst of water, guided by a hose to the drill bit. The nozzles situated on the drill bit spray the water onto the rock surface with such power that it is able to shatter and eventually break apart.
Providing an advantageous portability, the hydraulic rock drill can transition from one job site to another without much effort. This crafty apparatus is designed to be assembled and dismantled with swiftness.
Possessing versatility, the hydraulic rock drill is a true workhorse, empowering miners, constructors, and even concrete demolitionists with utmost efficiency.
