Description

Available in stock across our network in the Region

Tricone drill bits are one of the most popular choices in the drilling industry. Built with three rotating cones and tough tungsten carbide inserts, they break through rock formations quickly and efficiently.

Known for their strength and versatility, tricone bits work well in both soft and hard rock, making them suitable for a wide range of projects. Whether you’re drilling for oil and gas, mining, or developing water wells, tricone drill bits offer a reliable solution for fast, precise, and cost-effective drilling.

Suitable Applications
Designed for medium-soft formations with low compressive strength, as well as harder abrasive stringers. Ideal for drilling through formations such as hard shale, hard gypsolyte, soft limestone, sandstone, and dolomite with stringers.

Key Features

Tungsten Carbide Inserts – High strength and excellent wear resistance for longer tooth life and improved drilling efficiency.
Advanced Journal Bearing – A new bearing design significantly extends service life, handles moderate bit pressure, and adapts well to higher rotational speeds.
Enhanced Sealing System – A fluorinated rubber sealing ring offers improved durability, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Optimized Seal & Bearing Match – The upgraded seal structure works in harmony with the bearing system, greatly increasing overall bit life.
Wedge Trimmers – An additional row of wedge trimmers between the heel and gage rows improves borehole wall quality while enhancing drilling performance.
