Working Principle

The Kaishan KT9C operates on the down-the-hole (DTH) drilling principle. A pneumatic hammer is positioned at the bottom of the drill string, directly above the drill bit. High-pressure air is supplied through the drill pipes to power the hammer, which delivers rapid impacts to the bit while rotating slowly. The bit crushes the rock into small fragments, which are then flushed out of the hole by the exhaust air. This method ensures straight holes, high penetration rates, and minimal deviation. The rig's hydraulic system drives the rotary head and feed mechanism, while the diesel engine powers the air compressor and hydraulic pumps. The crawler undercarriage enables precise positioning and stable drilling. The operator controls all functions from the ergonomic cabin, monitoring drilling parameters for optimal performance.
