Drill & Blast Consumables
Top-hammer and DTH drilling tools, rods and blasting accessories.
Matched to your rock and rigs, held on site on consignment.
Overview
AltAmana supplies the wear parts that decide metres drilled per shift: button bits, DTH hammers and bits, drill strings and the accessories used at charging. Before recommending a bit we review rock strength, abrasivity and your drill logs. Critical consumables are held on or near site and billed as used, and a monthly report shows bit life and penetration rate by rig.
Supply
Site consignment or scheduled call-off. Monthly cost-per-metre and bit-life report by rig.
Drill & Blast Consumables range
| Product | Description | Sizes / options | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Button bits (DRL-BTB-101) | Top-hammer bits with ballistic, spherical or semi-ballistic buttons. Button profile is chosen to suit the ground: ballistic for faster penetration in medium rock, spherical for hard and abrasive rock, semi-ballistic as an all-round option. Available in retrac and standard skirts. | 64–152 mm; R32, T38, T45, T51, GT60 threads | Production and development drilling |
| Cross & retrac bits (DRL-CRB-102) | Cross-insert and retrac skirt bits for difficult ground. Cross bits hold gauge in fractured or broken ground where button bits can deflect. Retrac skirts help pull the string back out of collapsing holes. | Broken and fractured ground | |
| DTH hammers (DRL-DTH-103) | Pre-split and production down-the-hole hammers for high-pressure rigs. DTH hammers keep penetration rate steady with depth, which suits large-diameter production holes and accurate pre-split lines. Supplied with matched bits and service kits. | Large-diameter production and pre-split holes | |
| DTH bits (DRL-DTB-104) | Matched DTH bits with flat, concave and convex faces. Face shape and button grade are matched to rock type and hammer model. Concave faces help hole straightness; convex faces suit hard, abrasive rock. | 90–254 mm | Hard, abrasive rock |
| Rods, tubes & shanks (DRL-ROD-105) | MF rods, guide tubes and shank adapters for major rig brands. Complete drill strings from shank adapter to bit, including male-female rods for fast rod handling and guide tubes for straighter holes. | Top-hammer drill strings | |
| Blasting accessories (BLS-ACC-106) | Stemming plugs, borehole liners, gas bags, connectors and downline hardware. Accessories that keep charges where they were designed: liners for wet or broken holes, gas bags for decking, plugs for stemming retention. | Sized by hole diameter | Charging, decking and wet holes |
| Bit regrind (DRL-RGD-107) | Grinders, gauges and on-site regrind programmes. Regular regrinding restores button shape and can extend bit life significantly. We supply grinders and gauges, or run the regrind programme on site. | Manual or semi-automatic grinders | Extending bit life |
| Polymer Blasthole Stemming Plugs (BLS-STM-010) | Injection-molded engineering polymer; withstands high detonation pressure; directs energy laterally | Palletized cartons (sizes: 50mm to 380mm diameter) | Blast containment in open-pit benches; increases fragmentation efficiency |
| High-Visibility Blast Hole Collar Savers (BLS-COL-020) | High-visibility UV-stabilized elastomer; fits 102mm–311mm blasthole diameters | Bundled packs / pallet lots | Open blasthole mouth protection; prevents bench sloughing, backfill, and downline damage |
