Mining Bits
Shareate rotary mining bits are uniquely engineered for high performance drilling in the challenging environment that characterizes surface mining at large-scale open pit operations. Shareate offers open and sealed bearing options with a wide range of cutting structures that can accommodate every rock type.
Shareate is a specialist in the R&D of cemented carbide materials, and we can create the right insert for any drilling condition. Our sealed bearing designs have been proven to deliver superior bearing life compared to traditional open bearing designs. With a significantly lower cost of ownership, customers at many of the world’s largest open pit mining operations are now realizing savings in total drilling costs by using Shareate sealed bearing rotary bits.
