In mining and quarrying, drilling performance isn’t a “nice to have”. It drives productivity, influences safety, and determines your real cost per metre. Harlen Supplies manufactures and supplies high-performance Kenella DTH hammers and rods, as well as Kenella Top Hammer bits and rods, engineered to handle tough ground and sustained duty cycles.

Why drilling tool selection matters in the field

Every hole is a production decision. Tooling that maintains energy transfer, resists wear, and holds straightness reduces:

  • unplanned stops,

  • rework from deviation,

  • consumable churn,

  • and avoidable compressor and rig strain.

 

The goal is simple: more productive metres, with fewer interruptions.

 

Kenella DTH Hammers & Rods: Built for deep, demanding drilling

Down-the-hole (DTH) drilling depends on impact energy, air efficiency, and durability—especially in abrasive and hard rock formations. Harlen’s Kenella DTH range is built to maximise penetration rates while staying reliable in harsh conditions.

 

Kenella DTH Hammers

They are designed for:

  • High impact energy transfer

  • Optimised airflow efficiency

  • Reduced air consumption

  • Consistent, straight-hole drilling

  • Long service life under extreme conditions

 

Manufactured using premium alloy steels and precision heat treatment, Harlen Supplies hammers deliver consistent blows that translate into faster penetration and improved metreage per shift.

 

Kenella DTH Rods

Kenella DTH rods are built for strength and endurance:

  • Precision-machined threads

  • Excellent fatigue resistance

  • High torque capacity

  • Reduced risk of thread damage

 

The outcome is practical: reliable connections, less downtime, and steadier production.

 

Kenella Top Hammer Bits & Rods: Maximum metres, maximum efficiency

Top hammer drilling demands accuracy, durability, and repeatable performance—particularly where ground conditions punish tooling and frequent changes cost time. Harlen Supplies top hammer range is engineered to perform in challenging formations while reducing tool-change frequency.

 

Kenella Top Hammer Bits

Top hammer bits are engineered for:

  • High penetration rates

  • Superior carbide retention

  • Effective flushing design

  • Reduced hole deviation

  • Extended life in abrasive formations

 

With premium tungsten carbide inserts and optimised face designs, Harlen Supplies bits are built to deliver more metres before replacement, reducing your cost per metre.

 

Kenella Top Hammer Rods

Top hammer rods are:

  • Precision manufactured for strong thread integrity

  • Heat treated for maximum fatigue resistance

  • Designed to reduce energy loss during drilling

  • Built to handle high impact and high torque loads

 

Strong rods mean improved energy transfer, better drilling efficiency, and consistent performance—both underground and on surface.
