Recently, Hubei Xingda XDX-6 crawler full hydraulic core drilling rig has been deployed to a geological exploration construction site in Hengyang, Hunan Province, launching deep mineral resource core drilling operations. The project adopts 95mm HQ standard drill pipes with a designed final depth of 1400 meters. At present, the rig operates stably and smoothly with a drilling depth reaching 870 meters. All drilling parameters and equipment conditions remain in excellent condition, steadily marching toward the pre-set ultra-deep drilling target.

Superior Deep Drilling Performance for Complex Mountain Strata

The XDX-6 full hydraulic core drilling rig is specially developed for kilometer-level deep geological core sampling. Equipped with a high-power full hydraulic system, it delivers abundant rotary torque and sufficient feed & lifting capacity, steadily supporting the weight of extra-long drill strings and effectively avoiding typical deep drilling challenges including drill jamming, drill string vibration and excessive tripping resistance. The construction site in Hengyang is located in wooded mountainous areas featured with alternating hard and soft rock layers, dense fractures, narrow working space and muddy undulating terrain, which impose strict requirements on comprehensive performance, terrain adaptability and long-duration continuous operation stability. Fitted with robust steel crawler chassis, the rig can move and position flexibly on muddy ground and uneven slopes in forests. The sealed hydraulic system boasts outstanding dustproof and heat dissipation performance; the oil temperature stays within normal range during long-term all-weather field work with ultra-low failure rate and stable core recovery rate, perfectly matching deep mineral exploration conditions in southern mountainous regions.

Wide Application Across Various Deep Geological Survey Fields

The XDX-6 crawler hydraulic core drilling rig enjoys extensive application scenarios. It is primarily used for detailed exploration and reserve verification of non-ferrous metals, precious metals and other mineral resources. Besides, it is widely applied in hydrogeological investigation, geothermal drilling, deep geological sampling for highway & railway infrastructure, and geological hazard survey. The integrated crawler design eliminates extra transportation vehicles with easy disassembly, enabling convenient access to remote mountain areas, hilly mining zones and confined construction sites. User-friendly full hydraulic control greatly reduces operators’ fatigue, making it a preferred mainstream model for kilometer-scale deep geological exploration nationwide.

Premium Quality Guarantees Deep Drilling, Pushing Forward to 1400m Target

From site mobilization, commissioning and spudding to the current stable drilling at 870 meters, the XDX-6 has maintained reliable operation throughout the process. It has won recognition from the on-site construction team thanks to steady hydraulic output, sturdy frame and remarkable formation adaptability. Hubei Xingda has long been committed to the R&D and manufacturing of geological drilling equipment. We continuously upgrade equipment configurations tailored to complicated southern strata and kilometer-deep drilling conditions to enhance load capacity, durability and operational safety. The rig will keep drilling smoothly to accomplish the 1400m designed depth, fulfilling the deep exploration mission in Hengyang with solid drilling capability and facilitating regional mineral resource investigation with dependable machinery.
