New DTH Hammer Eliminates Plastic Parts
Rockmore International has launched the T
series DTH hammer line and recently introduced
the first model in this class: the
ROK 600T. The new T series design hammers
utilize drill bits with standard shank
connections that no longer require plastic
parts commonly known as blow tubes or
foot valves—leading to various technical
and economical advantages. The ROK
600T is a 6-in.-class model with high performance
drilling characteristics rated for
drilling 6.1- to 7-in. (155- to 178-mm)
diameter blast holes. The bit connection
for this hammer is designated by
Rockmore as QL6T, which has an identical
shank design to the industry standard
QL60, but without the blow tube/foot
valve. The new ROK 600T takes full advantage
of Rockmore’s patented SonicFlow
technology, which optimizes airflow by
simplifying and streamlining the air paths
to minimize back flow and turbulence,
thus delivering more energy to the piston.
