Malaysia Mineral Exploration Case – XinHao Hydraulic Wireline Core Drilling Rig 800B

Project Overview: XinHao Drilling Rig in Malaysia Rainforest Exploration

In 2024, XinHao drilling rig successfully supported a mineral exploration project in Sarawak, Malaysia. The client, a geological exploration contractor, needed a reliable hydraulic core drilling rig capable of operating in tropical rainforest conditions.

The exploration area presented several challenges:

• Remote rainforest terrain with difficult transportation

• High humidity (over 90%) and temperatures above 35°C

• Hard geological formations such as granite and metamorphic rock

• Strict project timeline requiring rapid drilling and sampling

To meet these requirements, XinHao provided the Hydraulic wireline core drilling rig 800B, designed for efficient mineral exploration drilling in complex environments.

1. Customer Cooperation Process

1.1 First Contact at China Mining Conference

The cooperation began during the 26th China Mining Conference in 2024, where the client visited the XinHao booth and watched a live demonstration of the XinHao drilling rig 800B.

After observing the performance of this hydraulic wireline core drilling rig, the client expressed interest and submitted a detailed exploration requirement form the following day.

The client’s main concerns included:

• Difficult transportation in mountainous rainforest areas

• Equipment corrosion caused by high humidity

• Low drilling efficiency with traditional equipment

1.2 Customized Drilling Solution

Based on the geological conditions and project requirements, XinHao engineers designed a customized solution.

Key customizations included:

Corrosion-resistant materials

Core components were upgraded with a nickel-based anti-corrosion coating to improve durability in tropical rainforest environments.

Modular portable structure

The hydraulic core drilling rig was redesigned with a modular structure so it could be separated into three main parts.

Each module weighs less than 80 kg, allowing transportation by:

• Manual labor

• Small off-road vehicles

• Narrow jungle paths

This makes the machine ideal as a portable core drilling rig for remote terrain.

1.3 Production, Packaging and Delivery

During production, XinHao implemented strict quality control on the hydraulic system sealing process to ensure stable operation in high humidity conditions.

For transportation:

• The drilling rig was packed using vacuum moisture-proof packaging

• Reinforced wooden crates were used for safe international shipping

• Equipment was shipped to Port Klang, Malaysia, and then transported to the remote rainforest exploration site.

1.4 Installation and Training

Before delivery, the Hydraulic wireline core drilling rig was fully assembled and tested at the XinHao factory.

Once the equipment arrived on site, XinHao engineers provided:

• Hydraulic system calibration

• Drilling parameter optimization

• 5 days of on-site operational training

Training covered:

• drilling operation

• daily maintenance

• troubleshooting

• safety procedures

This ensured the client's team could operate the mineral exploration drilling rig efficiently.

2. Product Application Case

2.1 XinHao Hydraulic Wireline Core Drilling Rig 800B

The XinHao drilling rig 800B is a high-performance hydraulic core drilling rig designed for geological exploration and mineral sampling.

Key specifications and advantages

• Maximum drilling depth: 800 meters

• Wireline coring technology for fast sample retrieval

• High-efficiency rock breaking system

• Modular structure for easy transport in remote exploration sites

This makes it a reliable geological exploration drilling rig for mountains, mines, and rainforest environments.

2.2 Real Project Working Environment

The drilling project was located in Sarawak tropical rainforest in Malaysia.

Site conditions included:

• steep and uneven terrain

• extremely high humidity

• temperatures exceeding 35°C

• limited access roads

The client needed to complete drilling and sampling at three exploration points within 15 days.

2.3 Field Performance

After installation, the XinHao hydraulic wireline core drilling rig quickly demonstrated strong performance.

According to the client:

• Drilling efficiency increased by 40% compared to traditional drilling equipment

• Modular design saved two days of transportation and assembly time

• The equipment operated without any major failure in extreme humidity conditions

This confirmed that the XinHao system is a reliable drilling rig for tropical rainforest mineral exploration.

3. Project Results and Cooperation Details

Equipment supplied

• XinHao Hydraulic Wireline Core Drilling Rig 800B – 2 units

• Complete drilling tools set (diamond drill bits, drill rods)

• 1 year technical service support

Client information

• Country: Malaysia

• Client type: Geological exploration contractor

• Contact channel: China Mining Conference 2024

Project value

Total contract value: USD 128,000

4. Technical Challenges and Solutions

During equipment delivery to the drilling site, some road sections could only be accessed by manual transportation.

XinHao engineers quickly adapted by:

• adjusting the assembly sequence

• separating key components into smaller transport sections

• organizing a four-person transport team

This ensured the wireline core drilling machine for mineral exploration reached the site on schedule.

Later, engineers optimized the hydraulic system pressure parameters to match the hardness of the local rock formations, further improving drilling performance.

5. After-Sales Support

During the project, XinHao established a dedicated technical communication group with the client.

Support services included:

• 24-hour remote technical assistance

• drilling parameter adjustment guidance

• regular maintenance advice

Within one month after project completion, XinHao engineers conducted two follow-up inspections to ensure stable equipment operation.

6. Customer Feedback

The client gave very positive feedback on the XinHao drilling rig 800B:

“The XinHao 800B is not only a high-efficiency drilling machine but also a reliable partner for rainforest exploration. From customized design to after-sales support, the entire cooperation was professional and responsive.”

The client has already expressed plans to purchase three additional XinHao drilling rigs for upcoming exploration projects.

Conclusion

The successful application of the XinHao hydraulic wireline core drilling rig 800B in Malaysia demonstrates its reliability in challenging environments such as tropical rainforests, mountainous terrain, and remote exploration sites.

With advantages such as:

• high drilling efficiency

• modular portable design

• corrosion-resistant components

• strong technical support

XinHao continues to provide reliable hydraulic core drilling rigs for mineral exploration projects worldwide.
