Rotary Percussion System

Varel's patented RPS percussion tools provide unparalleled performance, versatility and reliability to virtually any rotary drilling enviroment. Designed for air rotary operations, the RPS delivers increased rate of penetration, reduced total drilling cost and more value to the bottom line, with its unique ability to harness rotary and percussion forces.

Features

  • Patented design allowing air rotary rig drillers to combine and leverage rotary drilling methods with percussion energies for maximum rate of penetration
  • Operates on any air rotary drill rig with as little as 80 psi

Geological Applications

  • The RPS system builds upon roller cone versatility; providing enhanced performance in both soft and hard formations.
  • More effectively navigates transition zones and highly fractured formations; providing straighter boreholes and reducing bending stresses on drill steel.

Mining & Industrial Applications

  • Water Well Construction
  • Construction Industry
  • Blast-hole mining operations
