اقرأ أكثرScrew Conveyors ( Augers ) are commonly used to move drilled cuttings and associated fluid. They can be arranged to collect the cuttings (usually relatively dry oil-based cuttings) from the individual pieces of solids control equipment and convey them to another area of the drilling rig where they are used to load cuttings boxes (skips). The …
اقرأ أكثرThe results showed that compared with no drill cuttings stemming, the amount of explosives was reduced by 6.1–9.7% when drill cuttings stemming was used. Furthermore, the use of drill cuttings can also improve the working environment; for example, rock dust was reduced by 23.1–28.7%, and harmful gases were reduced by …
اقرأ أكثرThe plaster stemming method investigated in this study is found to be better than the drill cuttings stemming method due to increased confinement inside the hole and better utilization of blast ...
اقرأ أكثرIn order to increase the efficiency of explosive comminution, the borehole pressure must be maximized and pressure losses minimized. The majority of these pressure losses occur from premature borehole venting and through weak layers intersecting the borehole. With the use of proper stemming material and amount of stemming these pressure losses …

اقرأ أكثرUsing drill cuttings is a choice of quantity over quality. It is highly unlikely that you will ever get a perfect representative sample, but drill cuttings provide you with an abundance of representation and availability. A good analogy for drill cuttings is to think of a road map and imagine what the world was like before Google Maps.
اقرأ أكثرThe Stemming of blasthole collars in surface mines with an inert material redirects blasting energy to the rock more efficiently. The stemming length is a function of many variables, such as stemming material, plug, explosive, etc. Excessive stemming causes increase in stiffness accompanied by excessive confinement and resulting in the …
اقرأ أكثرAmong the byproducts of drilling are what we call "drill cuttings"—tiny f fragments of rock or soil churned up by the drill bit as it penetrates the earth's surface. Understanding the nature of these cuttings and managing them effectively is crucial for both the drilling industry and environmental conservation efforts.
اقرأ أكثرIn the blasts that used the Vari-Stem plug, 3–4in of stemming buffer (drill cuttings) were loaded on top of the powder column prior to the insertion of the plug. Crushed rock stemming was then …
اقرأ أكثرA significant number of scientific papers are aimed at substantiating the most effective stemming material for blasting boreholes. In particular, study [11] aims at assessing the impact of drill ...
اقرأ أكثرCurrently, there are many techniques of blast stemming in mining by plugging stem plugs such as plastic cones, rubber balls, rubber plugs, or cement mixed with water to mix and pour into blast ...
اقرأ أكثرThe drilling principle is to use a high pull down force (weight-on-bit), rotate the drill bit, and blow the rock cuttings to the surface with compressed air. Hardrock drills typically use the Rotary method to drill …
اقرأ أكثرThe mixture of drilling fluid and drill cuttings are then separated by physical methods at Solids Control System (SCS) (Gamal et al., 2019).This system aims to reduce the overall cost of drilling process, efficiently removing the drilled solids and minimizing the loss of fluids adhered to the drill cuttings (Pereira et al., 2014).The settings of SCS …
اقرأ أكثرIt is equally important to comprehend that there are multiple ways to drill a hole, and the equipment and tools on site are best because they are available right now.
