Two XDKD-5 Underground Full-Hydraulic Core Drilling Rigs of Xingda Machinery Loaded and Shipped to Africa for Underground Mineral Exploration

The XDKD-5 underground core drilling rigs exported to Africa this time are split modular exploration machines specially developed by our company for narrow underground tunnel conditions. The whole machine is divided into three independent modules: drill rig main body, hydraulic power station and control console. Easy to disassemble and transfer, the rig can smoothly pass through narrow underground roadways, perfectly matching underground drilling operations of gold, copper, lead-zinc and other mines across Africa. Driven by full hydraulic system, its high-torque power head ensures efficient core sampling in hard rock formations. It reaches a maximum drilling depth of 150 meters with standard HQ drill rods. The integrated control panel with pressure gauges and multi-way control valves enables intuitive monitoring of construction parameters, featuring easy operation and low maintenance costs.

To tackle tough working conditions in African mines including high temperature, heavy dust, limited underground space and poor transportation, our R&D team specially optimized the hydraulic heat dissipation, dustproof sealing and lightweight split structure. Equipped with a self-contained diesel power station, the rig can operate without external industrial power supply, which is ideal for remote African mining sites without power grid coverage.

During loading, our quality inspection and logistics team followed strict export protection standards. Precision components including drill booms, hydraulic pipelines and control consoles were wrapped and protected, all connection points were tightly fastened. We also completed full verification of customs documents, equipment manuals and after-sales spare parts kits to guarantee intact delivery during long-distance ocean transportation.

Africa holds abundant mineral reserves with growing demand for underground tunnel exploration. For years, Xingda Machinery has deeply cultivated the African market. We have developed a full range of drilling machinery tailored to local conditions, including underground core drills, surface core drilling rigs and down-the-hole drills. Our products have gained long-term cooperation recognition from mining enterprises across numerous African countries for stable performance, cost competitiveness and comprehensive overseas after-sales technical support.

The export of these two XDKD-5 underground core drilling rigs marks another landmark order in Xingda’s African market expansion. Moving forward, our company will keep focusing on global underground geological exploration and rock sampling engineering demands, accelerate R&D and upgrading of underground drilling equipment, and improve local overseas service networks. We will empower efficient mineral resource exploitation in Africa with high-performance domestic drilling machinery, and continuously expand our global cooperation footprint in mining equipment.
