HammerHead R600 Completes Range of ROUGHNECK™
Rock Drilling Systems

HammerHead Trenchless Equipment has introduced the HammerHead ROUGHNECK™ R600, the largest of its pneumatic percussion drilling systems for use in horizontal directional drilling applications. Designed for drilling solid rock with bit diameters of 184 mm to 203 mm, the R600 gives HDD contractors the ability to complete larger diameter bores in fewer passes as well as access to a wider range of single-pass boring applications.

The R600 completes the range of existing HammerHead ROUGHNECK rock drills available to HDD customers. It joins the R400 designed for 133 mm straight and offset bits and the ROUGHNECK R500 for straight and offset bits to 159 mm in diameter.

ROUGHNECK hammers turn any horizontal directional drill in the construction industry into a high-production rock drilling machine. Their heavy-duty housing permits directional drilling in varying rock conditions without changing out the housing.

The patented offset rock bit design increases steering precision, allowing the operator to navigate a wide variety of ground conditions. Integrated face-cleaning exhaust ports of the hammer ensure reliable performance, and the patented check valve located within the bit eliminates ingestion of debris.

The control station utilizes the drill’s existing mud pump to efficiently deliver air, oil and fluids down hole, reducing footprint size and weight. Integrated electronics facilitate the drilling operation and provide the operator with control and increased productivity without leaving the drill operator’s station.
