Gold Series
Century’s heavy-duty system combines a precision-machined solid body with keyed arm-and-cone pockets for reliability under extreme underground forces.

Performance-driven hole openers engineered for dependable penetration, strong cutting structures and rebuildable value across demanding HDD formations.


Falcon FR brings field flexibility to smaller HDD rigs; Gold Series is built for larger openings and higher-capacity spreads.

Century’s heavy-duty system combines a precision-machined solid body with keyed arm-and-cone pockets for reliability under extreme underground forces.

A lighter, solid-body hole opener for 50–200 class rigs, using mechanically bolted arm-and-cone assemblies that can be changed in the field without welding.
Century’s solid-body construction reduces cutter flex and is designed around the torque and pull forces encountered during hard-ground hole opening.
Precision-machined bodies welded to the shaft provide a stable platform for the cutting structure.
Service cutting components and change profiles without treating the entire hole opener as disposable.
Engineering focused on penetration, smooth running and dependable down-hole performance.
Multiple rebuild cycles help extend tool life and improve long-term return on the body investment.
The mechanical bolted design allows arm-and-cone assemblies to be interchanged in the field without welding, helping contractors react to changing formations and reduce downtime.
TA Drilling can help assess the expected geology, rig capacity, pilot diameter and target opening before a configuration is specified.
Carbide insert geometry suited to appropriate hard and abrasive formations.
A chisel-style carbide profile selected where formation characteristics call for it.
Steel-tooth cutting structures available for suitable softer formation ranges.
Key published figures for the two Century hole-opening families.
