YX-10 Crawler Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig

Product Overview

The YX-10 crawler hydraulic core drilling rig is a 1,400-meter ultra-deep diamond core exploration rig engineered for wireline deep-hole geological sampling, mineral exploration, and geotechnical investigations. Powered by a heavy-duty Yuchai 118 kW 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine and a high-capacity hydraulic circuit (28 MPa / 300 L/min), this crawler hydraulic core drilling rig delivers a massive 28-ton (280 kN) pullback lifting capacity and top-drive spindle torque up to 3,500 N·m through a multi-speed industrial gearbox. Engineered with an extended 3,500 mm long feed stroke, an 1,100-meter wireline core hoist, an onboard BW-200 high-pressure mud pump (10 MPa), and an integrated 11 kW hydraulic generator (220V/380V), this heavy-duty 1400m diamond core drilling rig provides exploration contractors with exceptional penetration rates, continuous core recovery, and full operational autonomy in remote mountainous terrains.

Product Features

Extended 3,500 mm Long Feed Stroke & 28-Ton Pullback: Features an extended 3.5-meter feed travel stroke that handles standard 3-meter drill rods in a single continuous stroke, reducing rod-tripping cycles by up to 40% while delivering 280 kN (28 Ton) of pullback force and 140 kN (14 Ton) of feed thrust.
Heavy-Duty Gearbox with 3,500 N·m Torque: Heavy-duty variable-speed gear transmission delivers extreme low-speed breakout torque (1,000–3,500 N·m) for clearing tight deep-hole joints and setting heavy casing, alongside high spindle speeds up to 1,300 rpm for diamond wireline coring.
Onboard BW-200 High-Pressure Mud Pump (10 MPa): Integrated directly into the hydraulic circuit, the heavy-duty BW-200 mud pump delivers stepless flow up to 200 L/min at pressures up to 10 MPa (100 bar), ensuring superior borehole wall stabilization and bit cooling in 1,400-meter exploratory holes.
1,100-Meter High-Capacity Wireline Core Hoist: Equipped with a heavy-duty 1,000 kg capacity wireline core winch spooling 1,100 meters of 6 mm steel cable, operating at 100–300 rpm for rapid core barrel inner-tube recovery from extreme depths.
Integrated 11 kW Brushless Hydraulic Generator: Built-in 11 kW variable-frequency brushless generator driven by the primary hydraulic system supplies continuous 220V/380V AC power for night-shift camp illumination, power tools, and maintenance electric welding without hauling auxiliary generators.
Dual Manual & Wireless Remote Undercarriage: Heavy-duty 8.5-ton steel crawler chassis travels at 3.5 km/h with an aggressive $4 0^{\circ}$ climbing capacity, featuring proportional wireless remote control for safe carrier loading, trailer climbing, and site maneuvering.
$4 5^{\circ} - 9 0^{\circ}$ Integrated Ground-Contact Mast: Heavy-duty reinforced mast lowers directly to ground level, forming a rigid triangular base that isolates dynamic vibration during high-speed diamond core drilling.

Applications

Ultra-Deep Mineral Core Exploration: Wireline diamond core drilling for solid mineral deposits, metal veins, lithium pegmatites, and deep gold ore bodies up to 1,400 m (BTW) / 1,100 m (NTW) / 500 m (HTW).
Deep Geothermal Exploration & Stratigraphic Wells: Drilling exploratory pilot boreholes for geothermal reservoir evaluation and deep tectonic fault monitoring.
Major Infrastructure & Tunnel Engineering: Inclined ( $4 5^{\circ}$ ) and vertical exploratory boreholes, deep geological fault sampling, and foundation consolidation grouting for large-scale dams, bridges, and tunnels.
Remote Off-Grid Prospecting Camps: Standalone exploration in remote wilderness where the onboard 11 kW hydraulic generator powers camp operations and maintenance welding.

FAQ

Q1: What are the primary advantages of the YX-10’s 3,500 mm long feed stroke?

A: Standard core drills often feature a 1.9 m stroke, requiring two separate chucking cycles to add a single 3-meter drill rod. The YX-10’s 3.5 m mast stroke accommodates an entire 3-meter drill pipe and inner-tube assembly in one continuous pass, significantly speeding up drilling cycles, reducing joint-making downtime, and lowering operator fatigue in deep 1,400-meter holes.

Q2: How does the onboard BW-200 mud pump compare to the pump on smaller models?

A: The YX-10 is equipped with the heavy-duty BW-200 triplex pump, delivering up to 200 L/min flow and 10 MPa discharge pressure (compared to 150 L/min and 8 MPa on BW-150). This higher hydraulic pressure and volume are essential for lifting rock cuttings up thousands of feet in deep annular gaps and maintaining borehole hydrostatic stability.

Q3: Can the YX-10’s wireless remote control navigate steep slope angles?

A: Yes. The heavy-duty 8.5-ton steel crawler chassis features powerful hydraulic drive motors with a climbing capability of up to $40^{\circ}$ 40∘. The proportional wireless remote control console allows the operator to stand at a safe vantage point up to 50 meters away while loading onto flatbeds or traversing treacherous mountainous grades.
