| 5–6 inch hammer | Mining and quarry drilling | Higher airflow compressor |
| 8 inch and larger hammer | Large mining and deep drilling | High-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 Condition | Compressor Requirement |
|---|---|
| Shallow drilling | Medium-pressure compressor |
