ROCKPECKER CLAW BIT
/“Once the claws of the woodpecker are buried deep into the bark of the tree, it will use its stiff body to balance and brace itself while pecking.”
Similar to how a Rockpecker Claw bit anchors and balances itself to drill the terrain surface using TCI bullet-shaped conical claws and its pick-studded body.
Claw bits are most popularly used in mineral exploration, construction, geothermal, and water well drilling. Claw Bits are ideal for drilling in soft to medium formations like shale, soft sandstone, and gravel.
When the Rockpecker Claw Bit strikes the terrain, the impact is absorbed by these three different conical bullet-shaped TCI Cutters:
First, the sharp tip of the TCI cutters takes the initial impact.
Second, the in-place rotating cutters of shank system will create a spongy effect that siphon off more of the impact from the bit body.
Angel of these three cutters and shape of the bit body are to absorb any of the remaining impact and fling the dug cobble or debris away from the wellbore/hole.
Once the initial strike is absorbed by these three angular TCI cutters/ picks and geometry, there is an aftershock vibration that is equalised by the finely studded carbide gauge cutters over the bit body.
Design Features:
Rockpecker Claw Bit design is developed by offering:
one-piece heat-treated alloy steel body with hard-faced block for bit strength & durability.
no bearings, CNC threaded and machined for proper installation use.
heavy duty Tungsten carbide pilots in both Button & Blade configuration
fluid & air courses designed to give maximum flow and are non-clogging.
one circulation hole per cutter suitable for air or fluid drilling in order to provide maximum hole cleaning.
strategically located air holes and centre nozzle evacuate the cuttings.
carbide cutters rotate in their blocks (toolholders) to promote a self-sharpening action and to reduce torque on the drill string.
Wide size range for Bit diameter and Thread Connections includes all API Standards.
Economical/replaceable carbide tools are easy to change on site. This type of manufacturing allows the bit to be reworked many times over, extending the overall life of the bit. The Claw Bit features economical, inexpensive field-replaceable cutters.
The self-sharpening conical bullet-shaped cutters rotate within their blocks to increase bit life and decrease torque. A drag bit, on the other hand, would over-torque and possibly stall in these conditions.
Claw Bit designs offer rapid penetration, drilling time as fast or faster than that of a drag bit, and being as tough as a roller rock bit. Produces larger chips and less dust, with less gage down pressure. All of this means more production, less downtime, and a greatly reduced total cost.
Rockpecker Claw Bits have a much higher ROP and extremely effective cutting displacement. To anchor and balance in cobble, strata, and gravel formations, a Rockpecker's claw bit grabs the ground and drills with its TCI Cutters (shank system)/ picks, and gauge cutters studded along the bit. By having this feature, the bit is much less likely to ball up. The fact that it offers the largest cutting return area in the sector is what matters most.
