    S-Maxx™ Wireline Drill Rod

    Today’s drilling environment involves challenges previous generations rarely faced, if ever. From deeper, harder-to-access deposits to operational challenges with automated rod handlers to tighter margins from a more competitive and volatile global mineral exploration market, today’s driller needs efficient solutions to difficult situations.

    Drilling has changed – have your drill rods changed to meet these challenges?

    Introducing the next generation wireline drill rods: S-Maxx by Di-Corp. Specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s modern driller, S-Maxx drill rods’ unique dual start thread and anti-jamming features will help drillers reach greater depths and achieve new limits. With S-Maxx, you gain efficiency by preventing cross threading – resulting in faster make and breaks. You gain efficiency from more durable rods, resulting in cleaner shifts, reduced downtime, and increased productivity. By investing slightly more on drilling rods, you gain lower cost per meter drilled throughout the project.

    Di-Corp spent years designing, researching, developing, improving, and testing the S-Maxx to ensure it was ready to both meet the needs of modern drilling and match our high standards for drill rod quality and durability. In doing so, we paired our demonstrated commitment to quality rods found in all Drillers Edge wireline rods with a revolutionary new thread form uniquely capable of delivering unmatched drilling performance.

    Max rod life. Max joint strength. Max depth capacity. Max efficiency.

    TESTIMONIAL

    What Our Customers Say About Drillers Edge Drill Rods

    “Di-Corp’s Drillers Edge rods performed extraordinary well on our directional projects globally. Their rods hold up to the extremes of down hole deviation time and time again.”

    Chief Executive Officer

    Why S-Maxx?

    The S-Maxx name comes from two parts: our patented S shaped interlocked profile thread and the maximum performance delivered by the rod. The dual start S thread delivers more surface area and contact than previous thread forms, resulting in faster make and breaks and the highest torsional and tensile strength in the market.

    The S shaped curvature of the load flank creates a self-locking thread profile resistant to bulging while the large corner radii improve fatigue cycling by eliminating areas of high stress concentration, improving the cycle life of the joint.

    The dual start thread allows for a finer thread pitch allowing for more threads to be engaged without sacrificing make up speed. This provides a more even load distribution along the length of the thread, improving performance when compared to traditional designs. An additional patented anti-jam feature prevents cross threading and jamming to ensure quick and easy make up and allows the driller to remain out of harm’s way.

    The new S thread and anti-jamming features are machined onto Drillers Edge tubing, undergoing the same manufacturing processes that have given our rods a global reputation for durability. Drillers Edge rods have routinely proven to last two times longer than industry standard.

    Features & Benefits

    Identification Grooves

    The S-Maxx™ is engineered to allow drillers to reach the max depth with max durability. However, as the outer diameter (OD) of the rod wears down, depth capacity should be derated to compensate for the thinning of the box wall thickness.

    S-Maxx makes it easy to know how much wear a rod has experienced and thus how much to reduce depth capacity with our unique identification grooves. The identification grooves are designed with three grooves of different known diameters. This is to provide the drillers with a quick and easy reference to
    the percentage of OD wear currently present on the body of the rod without the use of any specialty tools or devices.

    As the grooves begin to wear off from the body of the rods, the depth capacity should be derated by the same percentage indicated in the diagram below. This
    will help ensure that rod wear is properly monitored and that worn rods are retired to shallower/easier holes or scrapped out accordingly.

    Once the identification grooves are completely worn off, the rods can be scrapped out with the confidence that they were not disposed of prematurely and that you are getting max value from them.
