What Are Underground Mining Drilling Rigs？

Underground drilling rigs are key equipment for underground mining, mainly used for blasting preparation. Workers position the drill arm against the working face to drill planned holes, then place and detonate explosives. Accurate and steady drilling guarantees effective blasting.

Underground drilling rigs have many types to adapt to different terrains and spaces. Large rigs with single or double arms are widely used in medium and large mines. Double-arm models work more efficiently in wide areas, while single-arm ones are flexible and ideal for narrow tunnels.

Low-height mine tunnels need specially designed low-profile rigs instead of simply shrunk versions. For narrow but high tunnels, narrow-vein drill rigs are preferred for easy movement and drilling work.

Most traditional rigs run on diesel. It works steadily and is independent of underground power supply. Meanwhile, battery electric rigs have obvious strengths: no exhaust, lower operating temperature and less noise, which greatly better miners’ working environment.

Zhengzhou Kaishan underground drilling rigs focus on operational safety and comfort. Fitted with air-conditioned cabins, anti-vibration systems and easy controls, they ease workers’ tiredness during long shifts while ensuring safety.

To pick a proper drilling rig, take tunnel size, rock condition, on-site facilities and safety rules into account. No one model fits all mines. Feel free to contact Zhengzhou Kaishan, and our engineers will recommend rigs matching your actual demands.
