Working Principle
The Kaishan LGCY-15/18-17/12T operates on a hydraulic rotary drilling principle, utilizing either a down-the-hole (DTH) hammer or mud rotary method depending on the formation. In DTH mode, compressed air drives a hammer at the bottom of the hole, delivering high-impact blows to crush rock, while the rotary head rotates the drill string for even wear. In mud rotary mode, drilling fluid is pumped through the drill pipe to cool the bit and flush cuttings to the surface. The rig's diesel engine powers the hydraulic pumps, which drive the rotary head, feed system, and track motors. The operator controls feed force and rotation speed via a centralized panel, ensuring optimal penetration rates and hole stability. The tracked undercarriage provides mobility and stability, making the rig suitable for diverse terrains. This dual-method capability ensures efficient drilling in both soft and hard rock conditions.
