There are many types of underground mining equipment, such as Underground Jumbo Drill and Underground Scaling Jumbo. Underground Mining Trucks and Underground Mining Loader are also relatively crucial underground mining equipment. Consequently, Today, we are talking about the underground drilling machine.
There are different types of underground drill rigs. Therefore, choosing the underground drilling machine depends on your engineering needs.
What is the underground drilling machine?
We can also call the underground drilling machine a drilling rig. It plays an essential role in underground mineral exploration. Now we learn about the work process of the underground drilling machine.
So, before choosing an underground pipe drilling machine, it’s crucial to understand how it works. I found a video for you about how the jumbo drill machine works.
So, in which projects can underground drilling machines be used? First, small underground drill rigs can extract mineral samples from underground deposits. When you are not sure whether the minerals of this project can be mined, it is the correct choice to look at the mineral samples first. In addition, underground drilling machines can also be used in surveying rock conditions. Today we focus on the application of underground drill rigs in underground mining operations.
How to choose underground drill rigs?
The best way to buy a underground drill rigs is to go to the mining drilling rig manufacturers. Fucheng is a professional underground mining equipment manufacturer. Can choose the best mining drilling equipment for you.
1. Choose a durable underground drill rigs
How to choose an underground drilling machine? We first need to determine what the underground drill rigs are for. In addition, the terrain in which the underground drilling machine operates is an essential consideration. The landscape is different, and so is the type of underground drill rigs to choose. The more common machine models are rotary drilling rigs, impact drilling rigs, down-the-hole drilling rigs, top hammer drilling rigs, etc.
As we all know, the price of an underground drill rig is very high. Therefore, we must make the best procurement plan in order to select an underground drill rig with the highest cost performance. The first thing to consider is how often the underground drill is used. Do you use the underground drill several times a year, or do you need to use it every month? Since underground mining operations generally last several years, we must fully consider the durability of the underground drill.
2. Choose the multi-application of underground drill rig
Drilling rigs can be used in various engineering fields. We can use a jumbo drill rig for mineral sampling operations in surface mineral extraction operations. In places where water is scarce, we can use drilling rigs to dig wells to get water. Drilling rigs also play an important role in the extraction of oil and other important mineral resources. In addition, there is a situation where we can use the drilling rig. That is, during the construction of the foundation of the building, we use an underground rock drilling machine to make holes.
In summary, there are many applications for underground rock drilling machines. Of course, the main role of the jumbo drill rig is in the process of underground mineral mining.
3. The working terrain of the underground drill rig
Different mineral resources have different requirements for the type of jumbo drill rig. Drilling methods include rotary drilling, impact drilling, and top hammer drilling. Before choosing to drill, you need to fully understand the topography of the mineral. Choose the appropriate drilling rig type according to the terrain characteristics.
4. Choosing the Right Rig Engine System
There are two ways that our common jumbo drill machine moves forward. The first is to install tracks on the drilling rig, which uses its own engine system to move forward. Another way is that the drilling rig itself has no power system and relies on a trailer to power the jumbo drill rig. These two methods have their own advantages and should be selected according to actual needs.
