RockTerra: next-generation family filed worldwide

The very-hard-ground successor to RipTerra has been filed under the international patent family WO 2025/073006 A1.

RipTerra platform overview

The RockTerra family - DrillTerra's next-generation cutting architecture for very hard ground - has been filed worldwide under WO 2025/073006 A1.

Where RipTerra targets soft-to-medium hard ground, RockTerra extends the kinetic-flow principle into rock strengths that break tooth carbide first and cutting geometry second. The family is being developed in parallel with continuing RipTerra deployment, not as a replacement.
