Brazil is one of the world's major mining countries, with iron ore representing the largest contributor to its mining revenue. USGS data shows that Brazil's 2024 mineral production was valued at approximately $50.3 billion, with iron ore, gold, copper and bauxite among the major commodities.
The country's mining sector continued to demonstrate substantial economic importance in 2025. According to the Brazilian Mining Institute (IBRAM), mining-sector revenue reached approximately R$298.8 billion in 2025, with iron ore accounting for R$157.2 billion.
Brazil's mineral exports also demonstrate the scale of extraction activity. Official Brazilian trade data shows that iron ore exports reached 416.3 million tonnes in 2025, valued at approximately US$29.0 billion.
Such a large mining ecosystem creates continuous requirements for drilling, excavation, rock breaking, exploration, quarrying, maintenance and equipment servicing.
Pneumatic rock drills convert compressed-air energy into repeated percussion and rotation to drill holes in rock. They are particularly useful where mining operations require portable equipment, rugged construction and reliable operation in demanding environments. Ace Pneumatics manufactures several pneumatic rock drill models.
Pick hammers have a different role from primary rock drills. They are useful for secondary breaking, light rock fragmentation, trenching, scaling, digging and work around mining or tunnelling areas.
Ace Pneumatics' pick hammers are available in lightweight pneumatic configurations and are identified for applications including coal mining, tunnelling, trenching and rock breaking.
In underground and confined environments, a lightweight pneumatic pick hammer can be valuable for breaking loose material, scaling and carrying out maintenance or secondary breaking activities.
Mining projects differ significantly in geology, access conditions, drilling depth and production requirements. Pneumatic drilling tools remain useful where ruggedness, portability and compressed-air operation are important.
Underground mines often require compact equipment capable of operating in restricted spaces. Rock drills and jackleg/pusherleg systems can be used for drilling holes for development, scaling, secondary breaking and other underground activities.
Ace Pneumatics offers underground rock drilling equipment and jackleg/pusherleg solutions specifically within its mining-tool portfolio.
Quarrying operations require drilling and rock-breaking equipment capable of handling hard and abrasive formations. Depending on the drilling method, applications can involve pneumatic rock drills, DTH hammers, DTH bits and related drilling accessories.
Ace Pneumatics' DTH hammer range is designed for mining and quarry drilling applications, including hard and abrasive rock.
Rock excavation requires tools that can transfer impact energy efficiently into the material. Pneumatic rock drills and pick hammers can be used for different stages of excavation depending on rock hardness, hole size and the required breaking method.
Tunnelling presents a particularly demanding environment because equipment must often operate in restricted spaces and under continuous exposure to dust, moisture, vibration and abrasive rock.
Pneumatic rock drills and pick hammers can support drilling, scaling, secondary breaking and other underground construction activities.
Exploration drilling is used to obtain geological information and identify mineralised zones. Depending on the drilling depth and formation, drilling systems may incorporate DTH technology, appropriate bits, drill rods and compressed-air systems.
Underground mining requires drilling equipment that balances impact energy, portability, reliability, maintainability and suitability for confined working areas.
Pneumatic rock drills can support applications such as:
Ace RD12D, for example, is designed for horizontal drilling, plug-hole drilling and work in difficult-to-access areas. The ACE RD12T is designed for vertical drilling, while the ACE RD571 is a lightweight handheld rock drill for smaller drilling jobs and confined spaces.
Pneumatic drilling uses compressed air as the power source. This can be advantageous in environments where rugged pneumatic equipment is preferred and compressed-air infrastructure is already available.
The performance of pneumatic drilling equipment depends on factors such as air pressure, air volume, drill design, rock characteristics, drill steel and operator technique.

Underground drilling tools face demanding conditions including:
Tool construction and replacement-part quality therefore have a direct effect on uptime.
Even robust drilling equipment requires regular inspection and replacement of wear components. Pistons, valves, rifle bars, sleeves, tappets, bushings and other internal parts can experience wear during repeated drilling cycles.
Ace Pneumatics supplies rock drill spare parts including pistons, front heads, valves, rifle bars, sleeves and tappets for various rock-drill models.
For mine operators, maintaining an inventory of critical spares can help reduce the time between equipment failure and return to service.
Jackleg and pusherleg drilling systems are widely associated with underground applications where operators need a portable drilling arrangement combined with controlled feed pressure.
A pusherleg assists the operator by providing thrust against the rock, allowing the drill to maintain contact with the drilling surface while the pneumatic mechanism generates percussion and rotation.
Ace Pneumatics offers jackleg/pusherleg tools and spare parts, including spare components for ACE 62K and ACE 51K systems. Its mining-tools portfolio also includes the ACE RD330 Dry/Wet Jackleg Drill.
The ACE RD330 Dry/Wet model is water-flushed and pusher-leg mounted, with a stated hole-diameter range of 27–41 mm.
For Latin American underground mining contractors, the selection of a jackleg or pusherleg system should consider:
Pneumatic drifters are designed for heavier drilling applications where greater drilling capacity is required than a handheld rock drill can provide.
They can be used in mining, tunnelling and demanding rock-drilling applications where impact performance, drilling accuracy and durability are important.
Ace Pneumatics includes pneumatic drifters within its mining-tool range and supplies spare parts for models such as the ACE 120F and ACE 120FZ.
The company's pneumatic drifter spare-parts range includes components such as pistons, rifle bars and valves. These components are manufactured for heavy-duty mining and tunnelling applications.
For mining companies, the value of a drifter is not determined only by initial drilling performance. Long-term productivity also depends on serviceability, availability of replacement components and the ability to restore equipment quickly after wear or failure.
Down-the-hole drilling places the hammer close to the drill bit at the bottom of the hole. This configuration can provide effective energy transfer during drilling, particularly in hard and abrasive formations.
DTH technology is widely relevant to mining and quarrying applications where deeper holes and consistent drilling performance are required.
The ACE 400 DTH Hammer is designed for abrasive and hard rock drilling and operates within a stated pressure range of 10–24 bar. It accepts bit sizes of approximately 115–127 mm and uses an M4 shank. Ace Pneumatics states that the model is equivalent to the Sandvik M4 DTH hammer.
The ACE 475 DTH Hammer is designed for hard and abrasive rock and uses a 4¾-inch K4 button-bit configuration. Ace Pneumatics states that its parts are compatible with the Sandvik K4.
The bit is just as important as the hammer. Ace Pneumatics manufactures DTH hammer bits for its ACE 400 and ACE 475 systems using alloy steel and designs them for penetration and service life.
DTH hammer downtime can become expensive when internal components are unavailable. Ace Pneumatics supplies DTH hammer spares including:
Its DTH spare-parts range covers ACE 400 and ACE 475 models, with compatibility for specified Sandvik and Atlas Copco configurations.
For mining operations in Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Chile, the ability to source the correct replacement component quickly can be as important as the original equipment selection.
International mining companies increasingly evaluate suppliers based on more than product price. A reliable supplier should be able to support product compatibility, technical specifications, replacement parts, quality consistency, export logistics and after-sales communication.
India is well positioned as a manufacturing and export base for industrial pneumatic tools and mining equipment.
For Latin American buyers, sourcing from an Indian manufacturer can provide access to:
Ace Pneumatics' mining-tools portfolio includes these major categories and associated accessories.
The company also identifies Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Chile among its international export-market coverage for relevant product categories, demonstrating an established orientation toward international customers in the region.
Before selecting a supplier, procurement teams should evaluate:
Confirm model, shank, thread, bit diameter, drill-pipe connection and replacement-part specifications.
Consider rock hardness, abrasiveness, fracture patterns, hole depth and drilling orientation.
For pneumatic tools, compressor capacity, pressure and air volume must match the equipment requirements.
A lower-cost tool can become expensive if replacement parts are difficult to source.
Wear components such as pistons, valves, bushings, rifle bars and bits must withstand repeated impact and abrasive conditions.
International mining customers should consider documentation, packaging, shipping arrangements, communication and technical support when selecting an overseas supplier.
