What Are the Different Types of Reamers?

There are several different types of reamers available. The type of reamer utilized is dependent on project needs and soil condition. At Choong Ngai Engineering, we provide fabrication services as well as farming machinery modification as well as agricultural machinery repair.

i)  Compaction Reamers

Sandy soil is problematic for boring projects. The soft soil is likely to collapse in on itself and typically needs a support mechanism of some sort. To ream boreholes made in this type of ground, compaction reamers are the optimal choice. This reamer design relies on a bentonite filter cake to force drilling fluid into the surrounding soil.

ii)  Hole Openers

Hole openers are, as the name implies, used to enlarge pilot holes for large applications. These cutters work with ground formations that cannot be penetrated by standard reamers. They use rolling cutters for reaming rock formations.

These reamers often require several passes to open the hole safely. Each pass enlarges the hole slightly more. To accomplish this without damaging the reamer, it is necessary for workers to stabilize each consecutive size.

iii)  Mixing Reamers

When reaming a borehole in clay or harder ground conditions, it is best to use a mixing reamer. These reamer types include rippers, fly cutters and beaver tails. They help break up soil particles and mix them in with drilling fluids to move the cuttings out of the hole. Due to the tendency of clay and water to clog the bore, it is essential that workers use a particular type of drilling fluid with these reamers.

What are the common farming machinery modifications and agricultural machinery repair requirements? 

Like many industries, agriculture relies heavily on heavy machinery. It’s important to keep everything running properly in order to avoid delays in vital agricultural processes. Seeding, harvesting, and other processes are bound to strict timelines, and the equipment used to carry them out needs to be ready for operation on time. As such, maintenance plays a vital role in keeping farms going year after year.

Some of the common heavy equipment that farmers need to maintain are:

• Tractors
• Seed drills
• Planters
• Balers
• Plows
• Manure spreaders
• Cultivators
• Harvesters
• Irrigation systems
• Storehouses
• Silos
• Sprayers
• Conveyor systems
• Mixers
• Fume washers
• Dispensers
• Refrigeration/temperature control systems
