A SYSTEM FOR THE BEST SOLUTION
TYROLIT IS LAUNCHING THE WORLD’S FIRST EASY-TO-USE AND COST-EFFECTIVE DRY
DRILLING SYSTEM TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE PROCESSING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE.
Schwaz, Austria, September 8, 2015: TYROLIT is introducing the world’s first solution for easy, costeffective dry drilling of reinforced concrete. The innovative dry drilling system consists of the
DME19DP*** drill motor with soft impact function and the TGD® dry drill bits that have been specially
developed for dry drilling. Selected partners have been benefiting from this revolutionary system
solution since early 2015. Following excellent test results and positive customer feedback, it can now
be purchased from all TYROLIT distribution companies and partners worldwide.
Clean drilling of reinforced concrete
No water! No mud! No cleaning!
This innovative system, which comprises a drilling motor and a special tool, is set to revolutionize the
dry drilling of reinforced concrete. For the very first time, the combination of the DME19DP*** dry drill
motor and the innovative TGD® dry drill bits allows easy drilling of reinforced concrete without water,
making it an additional, cost-effective and clean drilling solution.
The new dry drill bits featuring TGD® Technology are vital to the success of the drilling process for
reinforced concrete, setting new standards with their intelligent distribution of the diamonds. “Our
TGD® dry drill bits have proven their worth in a variety of situations, including decommissioning
nuclear power plants. We’re not at all surprised that our customers on smaller construction sites also
achieved excellent results,” says Sergiy Avramenko, Product Manager at TYROLIT.
TYROLIT is also scoring points with customers on the price front. Unlike other methods on the market
this new system does not need any expensive, unhandy accessories such as air compressors. In
addition, any conventional dry vacuum cleaner can be attached to the integrated vacuum cleaner
connection. The drilling system can be operated as a handheld tool or mounted on the DRU160*** drill
rig. TYROLIT also offers its customers a carefully compiled range of accessories, such as a handy

centering aid and, for especially tough jobs, high-quality granules for resharpening during the drilling
process.
Intelligent knowledge transfer
This development arose from both the current market trend toward dry drilling and TYROLIT’s proven
solutions in the special construction sector. For controlled decommissioning of nuclear power plants in
particular, experts usually opt for dry drilling methods, for example to avoid creating radioactive mud
and waste water.
“Our experience and expertise in controlled demolition has enabled us to tap into yet more industries
with this new, cost-effective solution,” says Sergiy Avramenko. “The dry drilling system is an
innovative processing method for professionals in industries such as interior works, sanitary and
electrical installations, where the high requirements placed on dry drilling solutions in terms of clean
working are similar to those for controlled demolition.” With the perfect combination of drilling motor
TGD® drill bits and the DRU160*** drill rig with specially developed accessories for dry drilling,
TYROLIT guarantees optimum results in reinforced concrete.
