Frequently Questions About Surface Drilling Rigs

1. Question: What types of integrated drilling rigs are there?

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit rock drilling machines.

Answer: According to the different parts that perform work, they are divided into:

Top hammer type integrated machine drill,

Down-the-hole integrated drilling rig,

Rotary integrated drilling rig

2. Question: What is the difference between top hammer type, down-the-hole type and Rotary type?

Answer:

(1) Top hammer drilling rigs mainly use the hydraulic rock drill located at the upper end of the slide frame to perform work.

The common aperture range is: 64mm ~ 127mm.

By replacing drill bits of different specifications, different apertures can be switched. It is suitable for the entire hard rock layer without cracks. Considering that the flow rate of the equipped air compressor is usually about 8 cubic meters, the actual drilling depth is not recommended to exceed the depth of 4 drill pipes;

(2) Down-the-hole drilling rigs mainly use the impactor located at the bottom of the drill pipe to perform work.

The common aperture range is: 90mm ~ 225mm.

By replacing impactors and drill bits of different specifications, different apertures can be switched, and it is suitable for perforating various rock formations;

(3) The roller-type drilling rig mainly relies on hydraulic pressure and a rotary mechanism to perform work.

The commonly used hole diameter range is 180mm ~ 300mm, which is suitable for softer rock formations.

3. Question: The engine power of a topping hammer drilling rig is small. Is it more fuel-efficient than a down-the-hole drilling rig?

Answer: The air compressor of the top hammer drilling rig is relatively small, with a flow rate of no more than 10 cubic meters and a pressure of no more than 12 kilograms.

Therefore, the engine power of the top hammer integrated drilling rig is relatively small.

It can be used in hard rock with a hole diameter of no more than 115mm and no cracks in the rock layer.

Under working conditions, top hammer drilling rigs have obvious fuel-saving advantages.

4. Question: Why is a top hammer drilling rig more expensive than a down-the-hole drilling rig of the same diameter?

Answer: Because the rock drill of the top hammer drilling rig is expensive.

5. Question: What factors determine the dust removal effect of an integrated drilling rig?

(1) The speed of the dust removal motor. The higher the speed of the dust removal motor, the better the dust collection effect.

(2) The number of dust filter elements. The greater the number of dust removal filter elements, the better the dust collection effect.

6. Question: Will the operation of the integrated drilling rig be complicated? Is it easy to find operators?

Answer: The operation of an integrated drilling rig is more complicated than that of a split drilling rig.

It is recommended that operators who have experience driving construction machinery such as excavators or loaders transfer to operating integrated drilling rigs.

After a short period of training, they can be proficient in operation and maintenance.

7. Question: We are a newly opened mine, so the integrated drilling rig is not suitable?

Answer: For newly opened mines, excavators and other equipment will first come on site to make three connections and one level.

The excavators will build the road to the top of the mountain, and then the integrated drilling rig will perform penetration and blasting operations from top to bottom.

It should be noted that when selecting an integrated drilling rig for a newly opened mine, in addition to confirming the climbing ability of the drilling rig, you must also pay attention to the driving speed of the drilling rig.

Because there are fewer working platforms in newly opened mines and they need to enter and exit the site frequently, a drilling rig with a faster driving speed can gain more drilling time in a day and save waiting time for subsequent processes such as blasting, loading, transportation, and platooning.

8. Question: If we replace the split drill rig we used before with an all-in-one drill, can the previous impactor and drill bit still be used?

Answer: The integrated down-the-hole drilling rigs currently on the market are basically with high wind pressure, and the wind pressure is about 20 kg.

If the split drill you used before was also a high-pressure drill, and the design hole diameter of the mine has not changed, the impactor and drill bit can continue to be used on the integrated drill.

9. Question: The integrated drilling rig can automatically change the rod and does not require a laborer to carry the drill rod.

However, our mine requires that every hole must be measured, so do I still have to have a laborer to measure the hole?

Answer: If Party A requires the depth of each hole to be measured, or even extreme requirements to measure the angle, it is recommended that when choosing an integrated drilling rig, choose an integrated drilling rig that comes standard with automatic hole depth measuring functions and angle display functions.

An integrated drilling rig with automatic hole depth measurement is standard. Every hole drilled will measure the hole depth and display it on the cab screen.

It can also count the cumulative hole depth. The integrated drilling rig comes standard with automatic angle display.

When drilling pre-split holes, it automatically displays the angles in two directions, allowing the hole to be formed quickly in one go without the need for repeated manual measurements.

10&#;Question: When purchasing an integrated drilling rig, should you choose a foreign brand or a Chinese brand?

Answer: (1) Look at the budget. From a price point of view, foreign brands are usually more expensive than Chinese brands.

(2) Look at the service. Understand the spare parts supply and after-sales service organizations of different brands of drilling rigs in the region, and see which drilling rig brand has a more sufficient supply of parts and more timely services in the region.

(3) Long-termism. Integrated drilling rigs have a longer service life. In order to ensure guaranteed service and parts supply during the entire life cycle of the drilling rig, social background factors should be comprehensively considered and brands with longer vitality in the future should be selected.
