Find the Right Drilling or Breaking Path for Your Job

Start with the work you need to complete. Explore quarry blast-hole drilling, underground pneumatic rock drilling, or concrete and rock breaking—then prepare the details for a technical review.

The job

Review the existing quarry drilling system

Forming blast holes in a surface quarry or bench? Review DTH or top-hammer tooling within the existing rig system, including the hammer, bit, pipe, rod or coupling route.

Review quarry drilling

What to check

Start with the existing rig, hole plan, rock and air or flushing conditions. Review the current tool string and its mating interfaces before choosing a route.

The image shows a working context. It does not indicate that PerfoMax supplies the pictured rig.

The job

Review air-leg or hand-held drilling

For a defined manual pneumatic task in confined underground work, review supported air-leg or portable hand-held short-hole drilling.

Review underground drilling

What to check

Check working direction, support method, rock drill, H22 steel, bit, air, oil and water as one operating chain. Start from the equipment already in service.

This path covers the stated manual pneumatic work. The image does not establish a specific machine model.

The job

Review a pneumatic breaking task

Breaking or removing concrete, reinforced concrete, asphalt, masonry or secondary rock? Start with the required removal result rather than a drilled-hole requirement.

Review breaking tools

What to check

Define the material, reinforcement, removal result, work position and compressed-air system before comparing a pneumatic breaking path.

These pages help you choose the next review path. The final written quotation confirms the supplied configuration, interfaces and scope.

From the scene to your site

Start with what you know.

A useful inquiry starts with the job, the equipment already on site and the evidence you can share.

Separate drilling from breaking, and a surface quarry from an underground heading or removal site. If the path or equipment identity is unclear, say “not sure”. Request identification before compatibility; site facts are more useful than a guessed model.

What to prepare

  • The job and required result.
  • Material, rock and visible working conditions.
  • Hole dimensions or the breaking/removal requirement.
  • Existing rig, drifter, pneumatic drill, air leg, breaker, compressor, hose and tool string, where applicable.
  • Available air, power, flushing or water information.
  • Known interfaces, threads, shanks, tapers, couplings, model suffixes and markings.
  • Quantity, destination and required timing.
  • Site, nameplate, interface or used-tool photos and drawings, if available.

The review process

From site facts to a written scope.

  1. Define the job

    State the location, material or rock, required hole or removal result, work direction and duty.

  2. Record existing equipment

    Provide exact models, suffixes, interfaces and the parts already in service.

  3. Check the operating chain

    Review air, flushing or water, hose losses, support method and every mating interface.

  4. Confirm an inquiry path

    Move to the correct product family or request identification when evidence is incomplete.

  5. Return a written scope

    The quotation should identify the proposed item, interfaces, accessories, exclusions and documents that control the supply.

Your next step

Send the job before choosing the model.

You do not need to know the final model before contacting PerfoMax. Send the job, existing equipment and interface evidence you have, and clearly label what is unknown. PerfoMax can review the inquiry path and identify missing inputs; the written quotation remains the record of the proposed supply.
