Match Sullair Compressor with DTH Hammer Requirements

The DTH hammer is one of the most important factors when selecting a compressor.

Different hammer sizes require different airflow and pressure levels.

DTH Hammer SizeTypical ApplicationCompressor Requirement
3–4 inch hammerSmall wells and construction drillingMedium airflow compressor
5–6 inch hammerMining and quarry drillingHigher airflow compressor
8 inch and larger hammerLarge mining and deep drillingHigh-pressure, high-volume compressor

A correct compressor match helps maintain:

  • Hammer impact efficiency

  • Drilling speed

  • Effective hole cleaning

  • Lower operating costs

2.Select Compressor Capacity Based on Drilling Depth

Drilling depth affects pressure loss inside the drill pipe.

Drilling ConditionCompressor Requirement
Shallow drillingMedium-pressure compressor
Medium-depth drillingHigher airflow capacity
Deep drillingHigh-pressure compressor with larger air volume

For deeper drilling applications, customers usually require compressors with higher pressure capability and greater airflow output.
