KT15C Integrated DTH Drill Rig for Open Pit Use

Product Overview

The KT15C Integrated DTH Drill Rig is a state-of-the-art drilling solution specifically engineered for open pit mining and quarrying applications. This compact yet powerful rig combines advanced down-the-hole (DTH) hammer technology with an integrated design, offering exceptional mobility, efficiency, and reliability in challenging surface environments. Designed to handle hard rock formations with precision, the KT15C delivers consistent performance for blast hole drilling, exploration, and production drilling tasks.

Technical Features

• DTH Hammer System: Equipped with a high-performance DTH hammer that provides optimal impact energy for efficient rock penetration, reducing operational time and energy consumption.
• Integrated Rotary Head: Features a robust rotary head with variable speed control (0-120 RPM) and torque capacity up to 15,000 Nm, ensuring seamless drilling in varying rock conditions.
• Advanced Control System: PLC-based control interface with real-time monitoring of drilling parameters, including depth, pressure, and rotation speed, enabling precise operation and data logging.
• Hydraulic System: High-efficiency hydraulic circuit with automatic pressure regulation for smooth mast positioning, feed control, and rod handling, minimizing manual intervention.
• Compact and Mobile Design: Self-propelled crawler chassis with low ground pressure (0.6 kg/cm²) and tight turning radius (4.5 m), allowing easy maneuverability in confined open pit areas.
• Dust Suppression: Integrated water injection and cyclone dust collector system to reduce airborne particles, complying with environmental safety standards.
• Rod Handling Mechanism: Automated rod loader capable of handling 3-meter rods, with a magazine capacity of 6 rods for continuous drilling operations.

Application Scenarios

• Open Pit Mining: Ideal for blast hole drilling in limestone, granite, and other hard rock deposits, supporting bench heights up to 15 meters.
• Quarrying: Efficient for dimension stone extraction and aggregate production, with precise hole alignment for controlled blasting.
• Infrastructure Projects: Suitable for foundation drilling, slope stabilization, and rock anchoring in construction sites with limited access.
• Geotechnical Exploration: Capable of core sampling and test hole drilling for geological surveys in open pit environments.

Key Advantages

• High Productivity: Drilling speed up to 25 m/h in medium-hard rock, with 98% uptime due to durable components and easy maintenance access.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduced fuel consumption (12 L/h average) and lower bit wear through optimized DTH technology, decreasing per-meter drilling costs by up to 18%.
• Operator Comfort: Enclosed, air-conditioned cabin with ergonomic controls, noise reduction (<85 dB), and vibration damping for fatigue-free operation during extended shifts.
• Environmental Compliance: Low-emission engine (Tier 4 Final) and effective dust control systems ensure adherence to strict environmental regulations.
• Versatility: Compatible with various DTH hammers (e.g., 4-inch to 6-inch) and bit sizes (90-165 mm), adapting to diverse rock types and hole requirements.
• Serviceability: Centralized lubrication points and quick-access panels reduce maintenance time by 30%, with remote diagnostics support via IoT connectivity.
