Abstract

It is well known that in traditional mining operations, manual labor remains the primary method of execution. However, this production model—characterized by low efficiency and high risks—can no longer meet the growing demands of the mining industry. As a result, mechanization and transformation have become urgent goals for the sector. Against this industry backdrop, a new type of drilling and excavation equipment has emerged: the "dig-to-drill machine." As one of the pioneering companies leading the way in this innovative field, we have dedicated years of development to refining and promoting this cutting-edge machinery.

It is well known that in traditional mining operations, manual labor remains the primary method of construction. However, this production model—characterized by low efficiency and high risks—can no longer meet the growing demands of the mining industry, making mechanization and transformation an urgent goal for the sector. Against this industry backdrop, a new type of drilling and excavation equipment has emerged: the "dig-to-drill machine." As one of the pioneering companies leading the development of dig-to-drill technology, we have dedicated ourselves over the years to refining and promoting this innovative machinery.

Product Features of the Excavator-to-Drilling Rig Conversion: 1. **Applicable Conditions**: Suitable for both underground and open-air operations. 2. **Key Features**: Ideal for drilling omnidirectional blast holes as well as vertical, inclined, fan-shaped, and annular blasting holes in rock excavation projects. It can also perform multi-directional drilling operations within a vertical plane. Introduction to the Application Scope of the Excavator-to-Drilling Rig Conversion: 1. **Excavator-to-Hydraulic Drilling Rig Conversion** (including cutting drills, small and large impact drills, and down-the-hole drills): These rigs are equipped with an impact force below 100 joules, capable of creating holes up to Φ50 mm in diameter. Typically, each hole should ideally reach a depth of about 3 meters in a single pass—this method is currently well-established and widely adopted. 2. **Hydraulic Rock Drills**: These can drill holes ranging from approximately Φ32 to Φ50 mm, delivering outstanding performance. The drilling speed generally falls between 0.7 and 1 meter per minute. At present, hydraulic rock drills are the primary choice for this type of conversion, making them highly popular in today’s market.

The Differences and Similarities Between Excavation-Modified Rock Drills and Hydraulic Rock Drills


The drill rig, designed for excavation and rock drilling, is mounted on an excavator and is primarily used for blasting in various stone works, as well as anchoring and support applications and mineral exploration tasks. This drill rig can also employ a casing-following method to maintain borehole stability while drilling grouting holes for hydropower cofferdams, seepage-control grouting holes in embankments, foundation reinforcement grouting holes, and anchor holes, among other uses.
