Main Components
- Hydraulic rock drill
- Articulated boom
- Telescopic feed beam
- Control panel
- Diesel engine
- Undercarriage with four-wheel drive
- Dust suppression system
- Drill string (rods and bits)
Working Principle
The Kaishan KJ421 underground drill rig operates on a hydraulic percussion principle. A diesel engine drives the hydraulic system, which powers the hydraulic rock drill. The rock drill converts hydraulic energy into impact energy, delivering high-frequency blows to the drill string. Simultaneously, the rotation unit turns the drill string, while the feed system applies thrust to keep the bit in contact with the rock. The impact energy travels through the drill rods to the bit, fracturing the rock. Flushing water or air removes cuttings from the hole. The articulated boom and feed beam allow precise positioning of the drill bit. The operator controls all functions via a joystick panel, ensuring efficient and accurate drilling. This method is highly effective in hard rock and provides fast penetration rates with good hole quality.
