4″ Metzke rods

Technidrill, a specialist in designing and manufacturing high-performance drilling tools, offers advanced Metzke reverse circulation (RC) drill rods engineered for precision, durability, and efficiency in exploration projects. Designed with the latest technological improvements, these rods ensure reliability in the toughest drilling conditions.

Superior Engineering for Demanding Applications

The Metzke RC rods stand out for their innovative construction and use of high-quality materials. Built with standard API steel and enhanced with anti-galling treatment, these rods deliver exceptional strength and resistance against wear, extending their service life even in highly abrasive environments.

Key Advantages of Metzke RC Drill Rods

Technidrill has integrated multiple improvements into its Metzke drill rod range, as outlined in the catalogue:

  • Better resistance to abrasion, ensuring longer durability in harsh drilling environments.
  • Improved slipability, enabling smoother evacuation of cuttings.
  • Optimized shapes and airflow, reducing restrictions and enhancing drilling efficiency.
  • New inner tool joints with 3 stabilizers and an aerodynamic profile for improved stability and performance.
  • Improved sealings with new flat seals, preventing leaks and extending operational lifetime.
  • Elimination of the “rolling out” problem, which significantly reduces downtime.

These technical optimizations make Metzke rods a reliable choice for companies seeking efficiency and long-term performance.

Proven Performance in the Field

According to performance data (page 4 of the document), Metzke 4’’ rods offer:

  • Up to 58% reduction in air losses per rod.
  • Pressure gains of up to 18.8 bar at 200m depth, ensuring superior drilling efficiency.
  • Flow rates higher than 50 m³/min, allowing optimal use of reverse circulation drilling tools.

This translates into improved drilling productivity, reduced operational costs, and enhanced sample recovery quality.
