Main Components

  • Diesel engine
  • Hydraulic pump and motors
  • Rotation unit (rotary head)
  • Feed beam and chain/cylinder
  • Control panel
  • Track undercarriage
  • Drill string (rods and bit)
  • Dust suppression system

Working Principle

The Kaishan KT5C underground drilling rig operates on a hydraulic drilling principle. A diesel engine powers a hydraulic pump that supplies pressurized oil to the rig's hydraulic motors and cylinders. The rotation unit, driven by a hydraulic motor, turns the drill string, while the feed system, controlled by hydraulic cylinders, applies thrust to the bit. For DTH drilling, compressed air is directed through the drill string to power the down-the-hole hammer, which delivers high-frequency impacts to the rock. The cuttings are flushed out by the air or water return. The operator controls all functions via a centralized control panel, allowing precise adjustment of rotation speed, feed force, and percussion pressure. The track-mounted undercarriage enables tramming between drilling sites. This system ensures efficient rock penetration, straight hole drilling, and adaptability to various ground conditions.
