PERMON s.r.o.                      VKP 95-1 – OPERATION MANUAL                PAGE 3 

Preface 

This  operation  and  maintenance  manual  provides  the  drawings,  parts  lists  and 
suggested  procedures  necessary  for  the  operations,  care  and  maintenance  of  the 
VKP 95-1. It is extremely important that all the suggested safety precautions, as well 
as  user’s  safety  rules,  be  followed.  PERMON  is  not  responsible  for  damage  to 
equipment or personnel injury due to misuse of the equipment or disregard for safety 
procedures. 

Principles of Operation 

The VKP series of downhole hammer drills are designed for efficient operation with 
minimum  air  requirements  in  a  wide  range  of  air  pressures.  These  hammers  are 
recommended  for  blasthole  drilling  in  quarries  and  open  pit  mines  as  well  as  water 
well and construction drilling applications. The downhole drilling method has proven 
to  be  economically  effective  in  a  wide  range  of  rock  types  ranging  from 
unconsolidated  limestones  to  the  hardest  granite  and  quartz  formations.  Since  the 
hammer  force  is  applied  directly  to  the  drill  bit,  power  transmission  losses  as  are 
common in conventional top hole hammers are prevented. 

These  hammers  can  be  used  on  any  rig  having  an  adequate rotational mechanism 
and an appropriate compressed air supply.
