Main Components
- Crawler undercarriage
- Diesel engine
- Hydraulic top-head drive
- Feed system (cylinder and chain)
- Control panel
- Mast and derrick
- Air compressor interface
- Drill string and bit
Working Principle
The Kaishan KW180 operates on a hydraulic top-head drive system. A diesel engine powers hydraulic pumps that supply pressurized oil to the rotation unit and feed cylinders. The top head rotates the drill string while the feed system applies downward force. For DTH drilling, compressed air is directed through the drill pipe to the hammer, which strikes the bit rapidly to fracture rock. Cuttings are flushed out by air or drilling mud. For mud rotary drilling, a mud pump circulates fluid down the hole to cool the bit and carry cuttings to the surface. The crawler chassis allows the rig to move and position accurately. The operator controls rotation speed, feed rate, and torque via a centralized panel, optimizing performance for different geological conditions. This combination of hydraulic power and flexible drilling methods ensures efficient penetration and stable hole integrity.
