How Do I Choose a Drilling Rig - Jcdrill

A drilling rig is a piece of construction equipment used to drill holes in the earth's surface. They can vary greatly in size: they can be huge structures or light enough to be moved manually by one person. Drills can take samples from deposits and test the physical properties of rock, soil, and groundwater. They can also be used for underground installations: tunnels, shafts, or pipelines.

When do I need to drill?

Many jobs require drilling, for example

 

Drilling: whether to access groundwater or oil.

Geothermal drilling: to obtain and extract heat from the earth.

Piling to support buildings on unstable ground: up to 2,000 mm in diameter and up to 70 m deep.

Truck Water Well Drilling Rig


Mini-pile drilling, especially for the reinforcement of existing structures: between 150 and 200 mm in diameter and up to 30 m deep.

Quarry blast drilling.

The continuous auger holds the borehole wall by means of auger-driven chips.

The drilling is usually carried out vertically, but can also be horizontal or directional, for example for placing anchors.

 

How do I choose a drilling rig?

You may need a drilling rig for a variety of applications, such as drilling wells to access natural resources (water, oil, geothermal energy, etc.), building foundations, drilling holes in mines, taking samples from the surface, etc. It is necessary to determine what the drilling rig will be used for and what kind of terrain it will mainly operate on. Depending on the terrain you can choose between different types of drilling rigs: rotary drilling rigs, percussion drilling rigs, submersible drilling rigs, top hammer drilling rigs (with high hammers), etc.

To make the best choice, it is important to determine whether the rig will be used for your core business or for occasional operations, and in particular whether you want to take advantage of the latest innovations or whether a machine that has proven its performance for decades might be worthwhile for you. Safety, reliability, and ease of use are also important factors to consider and are directly related to each other. Using a machine that is reliable and easy to operate according to the manufacturer's recommendations increases user safety.


It is also important to define the type of movement you need. There are automatic crawler rigs and truck-mounted or trailer-mounted rigs, which need to be powered by a generator or the truck carrying them. Once you have defined the type of machine you need, you can calculate the required dimensions based on the diameter and depth of the borehole.

What type of drilling rig should you choose?

There are two main types of drilling rig: self-crawling and truck or trailer mounted. If it needs to move at low speed over uneven areas or very loose ground, you will need to choose a tracked crawler water well drilling rig. The stability of a drilling rig depends on the surface area of the tracks. Therefore, the wider the track, the more stable the rig will be. However, wider tracks will wear out and damage the ground more quickly when moving, especially when turning. 

Crawler water well drilling rigs can travel at a speed of around 4 km/h. They are therefore better suited to jobs that require little travel.

Truck- or trailer-mounted water well drilling rigs are not autonomous in terms of movement or their energy source, which may come from a transport truck or a separate generator. However, they are much cheaper than tracked rigs.

What Are The Advantages Of Crawler Hydraulic Rigs?

Crawler mounted hydraulic dth drilling rig refers to a fully hydraulic rock drilling and drilling machine with a crawler traveling mechanism. The crawler hydraulic drilling rig is composed of a power unit and a hydraulic system, a crawler traveling mechanism, a drill frame equipped with a hydraulic rock drill and a propeller, a support arm, and a drill rod unloading device.


Introduction

The crawler hydraulic drilling rig refers to a full hydraulic rock drilling and drilling machine with a crawler traveling mechanism.


Structure

The crawler hydraulic drilling rig is composed of a power unit and a hydraulic system, a crawler traveling mechanism, a drill frame equipped with a hydraulic rock drill and a propeller, a support arm, and a drill rod unloading device. The drilling hole diameter is 35 ~ 125mm, and the drilling depth can reach 30m, which is suitable for large-scale stone excavation and drilling operations. Except for high-pressure air or water used for drilling and drilling, all other operations are hydraulic.

Advantages

Compared with the pneumatic monk rock drill (air drill), the crawler hydraulic drill has the advantages of low power consumption, high rock drilling speed, low noise, and improved working conditions.


Features

Hydraulic crawler drills are the stereotyped products of hydraulic rock drills, which are characterized by:

(1) The rig can swing, telescope, and swivel, has mobility to adapt to the operating environment, and can shorten the preparation time for the operation.

(2) The front end of the working cylinder is equipped with a two-way hydraulic locking device to ensure safety and stability.

(3) The tracked walking mechanism adopts a separate pressurized driving device, and is equipped with a hydraulic jack support device, which can turn in place and can adapt to uneven ground operations.

(5) Equipped with drill pipe unloading device, equipped with 5 ~ 7 drill pipes, which can be used to quickly complete the operations of connecting, disassembling, centering, entering and exiting the drill pipe, etc., which saves time and reduces physical labor.


Tracked pneumatic drilling rig efficient application in coal mines

Pneumatic drilling rig for mining: High-efficiency drilling rig with simple operation in coal mine. Crawler-type pneumatic drilling rig is a compressed air powered drilling rig for walking and drilling. Although it sounds complicated, it is simple to operate. One row of operating tables, 6 operating levers, forward and backward, turn, adjust the angle of the drilling position, and drill out Get it all.

The drilling operation and walking of the crawler pneumatic drill are controlled by an independent console. For drilling operations, first stabilize the rig and turn the start-stop button of the rig console to the stop position, and then pull the rear-end ball valve on the pumping station to get the rig's pneumatic console. There are two reversing valves on the console to control the rotation and advancement of the rig, and a ball valve to control the amount of water in the drilling process. The right control valve controls the rotation of the rig. It pushes the host forward and pulls backward to reverse. The middle position stops. The left control valve controls the forward and backward movement of the gyrator, pushes the gyrator forward, pulls the gyrator backward, and stops in the middle position.

This type of coal mine underground crawler-type pneumatic drilling rig can be used in connection with high-pressure air outlets, no motor, no electricity, no explosion danger, high safety. Pneumatic crawler drilling rigs can be operated across belts and scrapers, and are suitable for drilling underground holes such as water holes, gas holes, pressure relief and punching.
