ROBIT EVOLUTION SERIES

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Robit Evolution Series represents a significant advancement in drilling technology, designed to meet the increasing demands of severe drilling applications worldwide. Over its 30-year history, Robit has focused on enhancing the connection between hammer and rock, resulting in exponential improvements in top hammer performance.

Technological Advancements
The Evolution bit series is the culmination of a systematic approach to developing superior button bits. Utilizing simulation and analytics, Robit has optimized material behavior and rock fracture dynamics to enhance drilling efficiency. Key improvements include advanced fluid dynamic simulations, which have informed design modifications across various bit sizes.

Small End Developments
For smaller bit sizes, the focus was on high power and high frequency drilling, particularly in tunneling and drifting applications. Enhancements included increasing gauge and face button numbers and adding more flushing holes. Tests in Scandinavian granite showed a 60% increase in grinding intervals and a 20% longer bit lifespan compared to conventional bits.

Medium to Large End Developments
In larger bit sizes, significant performance gains were achieved through improved flushing properties, guided by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The 76-mm Retrac button bit exemplifies these advancements with a design that reduces bit erosion and enhances airflow, resulting in better flushing and longer grinding intervals.

Field Testing and Results
Field tests confirmed the technical simulations, with partner drillers noting improved performance and flushing. The 102-mm bits, tested in hard rock formations in Pennsylvania, demonstrated superior performance, doubling the achieved meters compared to previous models.

Conclusion
The Robit Evolution Series continues to push the boundaries of drilling technology, driving industry development with faster, deeper, and more forceful drilling capabilities. Robit's commitment to innovation ensures it remains a leader in the drilling consumables industry.

ROBIT EVOLUTION SERIES-2

Applying the most advanced technology to the toughest drilling applications across the globe Over 30-year history of Robit has only seen one thing constant – the ever-increasing need for the connection between hammer and rock to endure more severe forces. In recent years, top hammer performance development has not only been linear but exponential, as maximum impact powers in e.g. tunneling and drifting applications rise above 40 kW and impact frequencies steadily reach beyond 100 Hz. The Robit Button Bits, now used across the globe in a vast variety of rock formations, have witnessed masses of...

ROBIT EVOLUTION SERIES-3

Bench & Production Drilling In the medium to large sizes significant performance strides were taken by diving deep into flushing properties. Here in particular, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations proved their strong added value as they drove the pre-test phase for fast finding of optimal solutions and truly significant impacts. The 76-mm Retrac button bit superbly exemplifies the new design aspects. The Retrac body itself has the signature Robit curving grooves and the sleek geometry flows through to the new face design. The simulations clearly show that the new model isn’t just...
