Our Company
Bulroc UK Ltd has been involved in the design and manufacture of Percussive Down Hole Rock Drilling equipment since 1967. The company originally traded as Weaver & Hurt Ltd. but in 1989 it was decided to change the name to its present one of Bulroc UK Ltd.
The name Bulroc has always been the company's trademark and by this time, the name Bulroc had become internationally known so it was logical to change to this more recognisable name.
The first Bulroc Down hole Hammer was introduced in 1976 and with its success, other sizes and models were gradually added to the range so that within the space of a few years, Bulroc had developed a series of valved and valveless hammers for drilling hole sizes ranging from 60mm through to 250mm.
As Down Hole Hammer development continued, so did a range of complementary products including Shock Absorbers, Drill Tubes and Hammer Extractors etc. Early in 1984, the company made a significant investment in plant and equipment necessary for the design and manufacture of a range of Button Bits to suit not only Bulroc Hammers but also all other makes of popular DTH Hammers.
At around this time, Bulroc developed the world’s first Reverse Circulation Hammer for the Mineral Exploration industry, a system that has now become widely accepted, particularly for gold exploration.
In 1993, Bulroc introduced the Hyper range of Hammers to replace the original valveless design. Larger sizes of Hammers were developed so that currently, Bulroc produce Hammers and Button Bits capable of drilling up to 1100mm diameter.
Bulroc products are produced in a modern factory located in the heart of England some 250 Km north of London and employs the latest computer technology in its design and manufacturing facilities.
Bulroc UK Ltd has a policy of continuous product development aimed at improving the existing range whilst at the same time, introducing new products to increase and extend the already wide applications for Down Hole Percussive Rock Drilling.
