800m Core Drilling Rig Factory Test Completed for South America Mining Exploration Project

Our company has completed the factory test of a customized 800m core drilling rig ordered by a South American customer. The crawler core drilling rig will be used for mineral exploration, geological survey and core sampling projects.
Before delivery, our engineering team optimized the drill bit configuration, fuel tank layout and diesel engine matching according to the customer’s local geological conditions, site operation habits and policy requirements.

Factory Test Focused on Stability and Field Reliability

During the factory acceptance test, the team checked the complete core drill rig from the crawler chassis to the hydraulic control system. The test covered travelling movement, outrigger support, mast lifting, feed system response, rotary head operation, clamp action, hydraulic pressure and control panel operation.
As an 800 meter core drilling rig designed for overseas exploration projects, the equipment must be stable before shipment. The factory test helps confirm that the customized drilling rig can enter the packing and export delivery stage with reliable mechanical, hydraulic and power performance.

Drill Bit Configuration Optimized for Complex South American Geology

For this South America core drilling rig project, the drill bit solution was adjusted for different rock conditions such as hard formations, fractured zones and abrasive layers. The goal is to support higher core recovery, smoother drilling and more stable core sampling in mineral exploration work.
By matching the drill bits with suitable drilling parameters, the 800m core drill rig can better serve geological exploration, mining prospecting and resource evaluation projects in challenging field environments.

Fuel Tank and Diesel Engine Customized for Local Operation Needs

The fuel tank was customized with consideration for remote jobsites, long working hours and daily maintenance convenience. A more practical fuel tank layout can help improve endurance, service access and operational safety during field geological exploration.
The diesel engine is another key part of this customized core drilling rig. The power system was matched with local fuel conditions, environmental policy requirements and customer operation preferences, making the diesel core drilling rig more suitable for South American mining exploration sites.

A Practical Core Drilling Rig Solution for Overseas Customers

After multiple rounds of inspection, the mast, rotary system, feed mechanism, clamp device, outriggers, crawler chassis, hydraulic pipelines and control system all worked normally. The machine appearance, safety protection and component layout also passed the final pre-delivery check.
The successful factory test of this 800m crawler core drilling rig shows our ability to provide customized geological exploration drilling equipment for overseas customers. We will continue to deliver core drilling rig solutions that match local geology, construction habits, regulatory requirements and after-sales service needs.
