RC hammers

Epiroc reverse circulation hammers are specifically designed for all kinds of exploration drilling (deep hole and in-pit grade control applications). Whether you are exploring potential sites or working an existing mine, Epiroc RC hammers will guarantee high performance, exceptional reliability and dependable support.

  • RC hammers are essentially the same as conventional DTH hammers, but with an inner-tube that runs through the centre of the entire hammer.
  • The cuttings are collected in the holes in the front of the bit and confined and transported in the inner-tube.
  • The flushing is in-between the splines of the bit and the chuck.
  • The inner-tube is a wearing component and is replaced easily through the top of the hammer.
  • In all Epiroc RC hammers the inner-tube assembly can be removed without removing the backhead.

Secoroc COP RC45

Smaller, lighter, faster
The Secoroc COP RC45 reverse circulation hammer features a revolutionary new design. It's 40 % shorter than the nearest competitor. And shorter means less weight. The COP RC45 is more than 30 % lighter than most hammers doing the same job.

High frequency
The COP RC45 has a unique air chamber design. Much smaller chambers build up pressure faster and makes the piston strike at a much faster rate. The result is marginally lower impact energy and leads to a great increase in power output and a sizeable improvement in penetration rate.

Efficient sampling
The COP RC45 features our unique tube retention system. This makes it easy to service and replace tubes since you don't have to disassemble the hammer. This means minimum down-time and maximum time producing samples.

Secoroc RC50

Better performance
The Secoroc RC50's high frequency, together with a high mass piston, provides a high output of power, ensuring cutting edge performance and excellent rate of penetration. You can expect 15 to 20 % higher penetration from the Secoroc RC50 series of hammers compared to equal RC hammers on the market.

Reliability you can trust
The Secoroc RC50 raises the standard by which all others are measured. Epiroc hammers are known for their long-term, low-maintenance endurance.
