What Should I Pay Attention To When Buying A Rotary Drilling Rig?

I. Machine Selection and Construction Needs Matching#drilling machine equipment#

1. Drilling Diameter and Depth: Select a suitable machine model based on project requirements. For example, small rotary drilling rigs (such as the XR160) have a maximum drilling diameter of approximately 1.5 meters and a depth of 40 meters, suitable for building foundation piles; larger equipment (such as the XR400) can cover bridge pile projects with a diameter of 3 meters and a depth of 120 meters (data referenced from the "China Construction Machinery Industry Association 2023 Technical Standards").

2. Power Type: Electric motor models are suitable for fixed construction sites and areas with low electricity costs, while diesel engine models offer greater flexibility, but fuel costs must be included in the budget.

II. Key Performance Parameter Verification

1. Torque and Speed: Hard rock formations require machines with a torque ≥300 kN·m, while clay layers can be reduced to 180 kN·m. A speed range of 20-30 rpm is recommended for efficient drilling.

2. Mast Stability: Check the mast tilt angle adjustment range (typically ±5°~10°) and automatic correction function to ensure construction safety in complex terrain.#drilling machine equipment#

III. Construction Environment Adaptability

1. Site Limitations: For narrow construction sites, a compact design (overall machine width < 3.5 meters) or a detachable structure is required.

2. Geological Conditions: For gravel or quicksand layers, special drill bits (such as double-bottom sand scooping buckets) or additional counterweights (recommended ≥ 8 tons) are required to improve hole formation rate.

IV. Life Cycle Cost Calculation

1. Purchase Cost: Mid-range domestic models cost approximately 3-5 million RMB, while imported models are 30%-50% more expensive. However, the spare parts supply cycle needs to be comprehensively evaluated (domestic models typically take 3-7 days, while imported models may take up to 1 month).

2. Energy Consumption and Maintenance: Diesel engine models consume approximately 25-40 liters of fuel per hour, while electric motor models can reduce energy costs by 60%. Regular maintenance intervals should be ≤250 hours to avoid sudden replacements of vulnerable parts such as the main winch wire rope.

V. Supplier Evaluation and Contract Terms

1. After-sales Service Network: Suppliers are required to have service stations within a 100km radius, with an emergency response time ≤24 hours.

2. Training and Technical Agreement: Operational training should be no less than 40 hours, and the warranty period for key components (such as the hydraulic system) should be clearly defined as ≥2 years or 2000 working hours.
