Unexpectedly! Analysis Of The Problems Of Domestic Rotary Drilling Rigs And The Gap With Foreign Ones!

A rotary drilling rig is a type of pile-driving equipment in engineering machinery, used to drive piles when constructing bridges, high-rise buildings, or skyscrapers. With the continuous development of my country's foundation construction industry, construction companies have gradually realized the advantages of rotary drilling rigs, and a "rotary drilling" craze has swept the country. While the "rotary drilling" craze has driven the market, the number of domestic rotary drilling rig manufacturers has also begun to grow rapidly. However, due to the late start of the development and production of rotary drilling rigs in my country, despite the rapid rise of some leading companies, the entire industry still has major problems in terms of product homogeneity, technical level, and supply and demand connection.#track drilling machine#

Fully Hydraulic Drilling Rig

Because rotary drilling rigs are low-noise, vibration-free, and environmentally friendly, their drilling noise level is below 65 decibels. During the hole-forming process, the excavated soil remains in its original state and is directly loaded and unloaded onto dump trucks via the drill bucket, eliminating mud discharge. If the excavated soil is too water-rich or fluidized, an on-site fluidized soil water reduction and solidification treatment unit can be installed to reduce the water content and solidify the excavated fluidized soil, turning it into dry soil for transportation via dump trucks, thus meeting urban environmental protection requirements.

The high price of imported rotary drilling rigs is a major factor hindering their development. Bored pile diameters typically range from 1.2 to 1.5 meters. When purchasing equipment, companies generally consider a safety margin and choose rotary drilling rigs with a larger capacity. Therefore, the most commonly used rotary drilling rigs currently have a working diameter between 1.5 and 2 meters. A rotary drilling rig costs over 4 million yuan. For larger drilling diameters, the price of a single rig, including accessories, can reach tens of millions of yuan. For the average construction company, especially the vast majority of geological teams involved in pile foundation construction, a one-time investment of several million or even tens of millions of yuan is unaffordable for those with limited financial resources. Furthermore, given the current management system, even companies capable of purchasing this advanced equipment will consider various factors before making the purchase.#track drilling machine#

High operating costs are also a major factor hindering construction companies from purchasing them. According to manufacturers and actual user experience, a rotary drilling rig has a normal operating lifespan of 6,300 hours at full load. After this lifespan, several components require replacement or repair, particularly the winch system, hydraulic main pump, power head, and drill rod. These components are expensive and require long replacement times. This significantly increases the operating costs of rotary drilling rigs, and consequently, the cost of pile foundation construction. Currently, due to fierce competition in the pile foundation market and the lack of standardized practices, many pile foundation projects are subcontracted through multiple layers before reaching construction companies. Project prices are relatively low, leaving little profit margin. For example, using rotary drilling rigs, while efficient and high-quality, results in very low profits or even losses. This is a major reason why many construction companies avoid purchasing rotary drilling rigs and even deliberately leave them unused, continuing to use traditional, relatively backward methods.

Since 2006, Shandong Liqiang Machinery Co., Ltd. has invested significant resources in the development of simple rotary drilling rigs capable of drilling holes under 2 meters in diameter and 30 meters in depth. These products are sold nationwide and have received widespread acclaim. Liqiang Machinery's rotary drilling rigs not only aim to reach the world, but also to change the world, contributing to reversing the influx of imported products into China.#track drilling machine#
