RC Drill Bits
Mincon is introducing an innovative new design for reverse circulation (RC) drill bits, featuring our patented venturi flushing system. Our engineers are continuously developing and evolving our products to add features that matter, and the venturi flushing system is our latest development for RC bits ensuring that we remain the driller’s choice.

Efficiency through innovation:
The venturi drill bit design allows for increased airflow during the sample flushing process, resulting in a 40% plus improvement in sample recovery versus conventional RC drill bit designs.

Complete RC Solutions
The new venturi RC drill bits are versatile and can be used in both soft ground and hard rock. This presents a huge time saving compared to air core drilling, as there is no need to swap tooling for harder ground. Venturi bits are also not hindered by water in the borehole: consistently high airflow is able to flush out water-logged samples. As a result, there’s a much lower risk of silting and other complications that cause expensive downtime.
These new drill bits are just one example of Mincon’s drive for continuous improvement, and our dedicationto delivering drilling solutions that deliver
