The core difference between Integrated DTH Drilling Rig and Separated DTH Drilling Rig is: the Integrated DTH Drilling Rig integrates the air compressor and drilling mainframe on one chassis as a single unit; the Separated DTH Drilling Rig uses a standalone compressor connected by air hoses. Both Integrated DTH Drilling Rig and Separated DTH Drilling Rig from Zhengzhou Kaishan feature excellent performance. They are different in mobility, fuel consumption, operation, maintenance, and application. If you want to know how to select the right Integrated DTH Drilling Rig or Separated DTH Drilling Rig, please keep reading.
1. Structure and layout
The Integrated DTH Drilling Rig adopts an all-in-one structure. Engine, air compressor, hydraulic system, drill boom and undercarriage are integrated together without external air hoses, making the Integrated DTH Drilling Rig more compact.
The Separated DTH Drilling Rig includes a drilling mainframe and an independent air compressor connected by hoses. The Separated DTH Drilling Rig is lighter and can be transported separately.
2. Power and energy efficiency
The Integrated DTH Drilling Rig is driven by a single engine with low energy loss and low fuel consumption. As a stable rock drill, the Integrated DTH Drilling Rig performs well in continuous working.
The Separated DTH Drilling Rig uses dual power with higher output, ideal for deep holes. As a powerful rock drill, the Separated DTH Drilling Rig provides strong drilling force.
3. Mobility and transitions
The Integrated DTH Drilling Rig moves as a whole for fast relocation.
The Separated DTH Drilling Rig can be split and transported, suitable for mountain areas.
4. Maintenance and Cost
The Integrated DTH Drilling Rig is easy to maintain with lower long-term cost.
The Separated DTH Drilling Rig has lower initial cost and higher flexibility.
