Mincon PPV Spiral Flush Logo

Mincon has been developing down the hole hammer tools for 40 years now with work site experience across all continents! They continue to strive with their world class testing and development partners that has allowed them to create new innovations and be at the forefront of the latest manufacturing technology.

Down The Hole Hammer

DTH drills a straight pile into any ground including bed rock. The depths can reach over 100 m covering from 89 mm diameter to over 1500 mm at any angle required.

Mincon Taking DTH Drilling To The Next Level

The new Spiral Flush product range has a redesigned face of the drilling bit as to have a flushing arrangement crosswise to the drilling direction.

This allows the air flow to be controller and prevent over drilling as well as air escape. This allows for DTH drilling to be taken to more urban areas and harbor construction without disturbing the environment surrounding it.

Mincon has been able to not only control the flushing of DTH drilling, but also improved the productivity of the bits at the same time.

Black Cat Blades Snoshock Specs

Black Cat Wear Parts’ ‘SnoShock’

Replacing normal mounting holes with specially designed poly bushings allows for a cushioning effect which absorbs the shock.
This coupled with a shield designed into the front of the blade creates a dramatically increased wear life.

  • Cushioned mount absorbs shock and impact
  • Shock absorber eliminates carbide fracturing
  • Extra large carbide inserts extend blade life
  • Hardened face shield eliminates premature wear

CANADA 150

Construction is one of Canada’s largest and most important industries. Everywhere you look there is evidence of it from houses, skyscrapers, roads/highways and nearly everything else that involves engaging the ground in one form or another all are thanks to the construction industry.

The construction industry employs more than 1.2 million men and women in Canada (Statistics Canada. 2016). The employment rate in the industry is continuing an upwards trend despite some dips as the industry is very sensitive to the ups and downs of the economy as a whole.

Looking to the future of the industry within Canada it is forecast that although the residential sector may dip, the non-residential such as transportation infrastructure, big private projects and public infrastructure will continue to push the industry to new heights (Buildforce Canada, 2016).

Canada & Creighton

With Canada turning 150 we also take a look back at Creighton’s history and involvement in the industry. In Creighton Rock Drill Limited 51 years in business we have continued to provide the industry with high quality wear parts and ground engaging technologies which began in April of 1966 by D.J. (Jim) Creighton and his wife Evelyn.

Creighton continues to push forward in its search for the best, most innovative and effective tools that the market has to offer now and in the future. Working with a wide range of the industry leaders and recognized manufactures allows us to offer a long-term partnership with businesses supplying excellent sales, services and parts to meet the needs of our customers.

We look to continue our pursuit of being at the forefront of leading edge products that push the industry to new heights. Creighton is in good position and continues to grow strong with the industry and will continue to provide customers with the best products and service the market has to offer.
