XH1500 Rig in Baotou, Inner Mongolia: 1500m Gold Mine Core Drilling Success Story

In a gold exploration project in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, the team faced a formidable challenge: completing a core drilling hole to a depth of 1000 meters. The working strata consisted primarily of hard limestone (f=8-12) containing highly abrasive quartz interlayers. Simultaneously, the area experienced significant diurnal temperature variations, and the terrain was rugged and littered with gravel, posing extreme challenges to the drilling equipment's power, stability, and durability.

Customer Feedback: Core Value Brought by the XH1500 Drilling Rig

1. Efficiently Conquering a 1000-Meter Hard Rock Deep Hole

"The equipment we used before generally experienced power loss and drill jamming problems after a depth of about 800 meters," said Mr. Li, the project manager. "But the XH1500 core drilling machine is completely different. With its powerful 220kW turbocharged engine and high-pressure hydraulic system, it successfully completed a 1000-meter full-hole drilling process smoothly." The drilling rig intelligently adjusted parameters for different rock depths, ultimately completing the target efficiently in just 48 hours, with an average daily advance of over 31 meters, significantly ahead of schedule.


2. Exceptional Stability in Extreme Cold and Complex Terrain
The Baotou construction site experiences extreme temperature differences between day and night, and the sloping terrain poses difficulties for equipment movement and stable operation. Customer feedback: "This hydraulic core drilling rig performed exceptionally well. Its wide track design ensures stability on gravel slopes, and the dedicated cryogenic hydraulic system allows for rapid start-up even in frigid mornings. The equipment operated continuously for over 72 hours without any malfunctions, demonstrating impressive reliability."


3. Significantly Reduced Overall Operating Costs

Consumable and fuel costs are critical for deep-hole operations. Mr. Li calculated: "Drilling 1000 meters with the XH1500, thanks to its high efficiency and tungsten-cobalt alloy drill bit perfectly suited for hard rock, we only replaced the drill bit twice, and there was no abnormal wear on the drill rod. Combined with fuel savings and extended consumable lifespan, the operating cost per hole was reduced by approximately 30% compared to similar projects in the past."

Key Technical Highlights: Designed for Deep Hole Hard

Rock Drilling

The success of the XH1500 is no accident; its design directly addresses the pain points of deep hole exploration:


1.Power and Precise Control

A high-power engine combined with a high-pressure hydraulic system ensures no power loss during drilling throughout the hole. Advanced borehole inclination monitoring and control technology guarantees the verticality requirements of ultra-deep holes.


2.Automation and Efficient Handling

Equipped with a dual-gripper system and a 6-meter automatic rod lifting function, it greatly reduces auxiliary time and improves pure drilling efficiency and operational safety. A unique gearbox perforation design makes power transmission more direct and efficient, especially suitable for long drill pipe conditions.


3.All-Condition Adaptability

From the IP65 high protection rating of the electrical system to the selection of low-temperature hydraulic oil, the equipment has been comprehensively optimized to cope with the harsh working conditions in Inner Mongolia and other regions.
