Tricone Bits for Water Well Drilling
Tricone bits remain one of the most versatile and time-proven solutions in water well drilling. Thanks to their robust three-cone design and adaptability to different ground conditions, they are widely used in projects around the world — from soft clays and sandstones to hard rock formations like granite or basalt.
Why Choose Tricone Bits from TTM?
- Universal Application
Our tricone bits are available in a wide range of configurations to match different soil and rock types. Whether it’s loose soil or solid stone, you can choose the right bit based on IADC classification, tooth type (milled or tungsten-carbide inserts), and bearing design. - Reliable & Time-Tested Design
The roller-cone concept has been used successfully for nearly a century. Modern materials and construction methods ensure our bits deliver stable drilling and long service life, even in complex geological zones. - Cost-Effective Solution
Tricone bits offer a competitive price point and can often be repaired or re-run, making them a smart choice for projects with limited budgets or remote site conditions. - Resistant to Impact & Abrasion
With a reinforced steel body and shock-absorbing cones, our bits handle gravel, boulders, and interbedded formations with ease. They’re a reliable tool when facing unpredictable or abrasive layers underground. - Rig Compatibility
TTM’s tricone bits are compatible with a wide range of rotary blasthole drill rigs, including Epiroc DM45, DML, Pit Viper 231, Pit Viper 275, as well as Sandvik D45KS, D50KS and other leading models in the industry.
