Sollroc's DTH Drilling Tools product line is engineered to meet these challenges head-on, delivering consistent performance in the continent's diverse and often demanding geological conditions.
The company's DTH Drilling Tools portfolio encompasses a full spectrum of rock drilling equipment:
- DTH Hammers: Available in Mission, DHD, QL, SD, and COP series with diameters ranging from 3" to 18", suitable for both low and high-pressure applications
- DTH Bits: Offered in flat face, convex face, concave face, and drop center face configurations with spherical and ballistic carbide button options for maximum penetration rates
- DTH Drill Pipes and Rods: Manufactured with API REG threads including 2 3/8", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", and 6 5/8" specifications
- Shock Absorbers: Designed to protect drilling rigs from vibration and impact forces during heavy-duty piling and foundation work

| CNC-machined components | Precision-fit parts reduce downtime and extend service intervals |
| Carburized and heat-treated steel | Superior wear resistance in abrasive rock formations |
| Multiple bit face options | Optimal performance across varied geology from granite to sandstone |
| Thread-strengthened connections | Enhanced fatigue resistance under high-vibration conditions |
| Low air consumption design | Reduced operational costs with smaller compressor requirements |
| Comprehensive shank compatibility | Interchangeable with Mission, DHD, QL, SD, and COP systems |
Supporting Africa's Key Industries
Water Well Drilling: With over 400 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa lacking access to clean drinking water, Sollroc's DTH hammers and bits in diameters from 3" to 18" are ideal for borehole drilling projects. The DHD360 and Mission50 series deliver high penetration rates even in hard basement rock, helping accelerate community water access programs.
Mining Sector: Africa holds approximately 30% of the world's mineral reserves. Sollroc's drilling tools support exploration, blast hole drilling, and production operations across gold, copper, diamond, and cobalt mining sites from the Copperbelt to the Witwatersrand Basin.
Infrastructure Construction: As African nations invest in roads, railways, dams, and urban development, Sollroc's shock absorbers and large-diameter DTH hammers provide the power and reliability needed for piling, anchoring, and foundation drilling in major construction projects.
Quality Assurance and Service Commitment
Sollroc maintains rigorous quality standards with SGS and ISO 9001 certifications. Each DTH hammer and bit undergoes comprehensive inspection before shipment. The company provides dedicated technical support including troubleshooting, maintenance guidance, and application consultation for African distributors and end-users.
Production lead times of 15-25 days and flexible shipping options (sea freight, air freight, express courier) ensure timely delivery to all major African ports and inland destinations. All products are securely packaged in plywood cases with seaworthy protection for long-distance transport.
