Flushing system for Rotary

and Rotary percussive hydraulic drilling.

Equipment How does it work !!!

The basic H.A.I. system consists of: Air supply is divided in two ways:
 a water booster. - one pass through the mixing valve,
 hydraulic components (check valves, air pressure - one goes to the water booster to increase the water
adjusting valve, pressure relief valve, gauges, hoses). pressure up to 30 bar.
 an air/oiled cooler.

In case of insufficient mine air supply, no water supply, it Correct air and water setting is obtained:
is necessary to add: - by action on the water booster control valve.
 a compressor. - by changing the jet of the mixing valve.
 a water tank.

Cases of application
 Hydrophile & Hydrophobe Rocks i.e.
Salt / Potash / Gypsum / Anhydrite / Kimberlite...
 Permafrost
 When just little water available
