  • Product Detail Introduction

Core Engineering Features & Performance Advantages

Integrated 2-in-1 Design & 20 m³/min 22 Bar Compressor

Combines heavy DTH percussion rock drilling and an onboard two-stage screw air compressor (20 m³/min @ 22 bar / 319 psi) onto a single self-propelled crawler chassis. Powered by a massive 295 kW (400 HP) Yuchai YCK09400 diesel engine, it eliminates trailer compressor towing, cuts jobsite fuel burn by up to 25%, and avoids trailing air-hose hazards.

4,000 N·m Rotary Drive & 115–165 mm Boreholes

Equipped with a reinforced high-torque rotary head delivering 4,000 N·m maximum torque and 25 kN push-pull thrust, optimised for 4" and 5" DTH hammers in large 115–165 mm blast holes. Features an extended 4,010 mm one-time advance stroke, accommodating Φ76 mm and heavy Φ89 mm drill pipes, for faster penetration to 25 meters.

12-Ton Heavy-Duty Chassis, ±10° Leveling & Dust Collector

Built on a reinforced 12,100 kg crawler undercarriage with 430 mm ground clearance and ±10° hydraulic frame levelling for stable tramming and drilling on ≤25° quarry benches. Equipped with an onboard hydraulic cyclonic laminar-flow dry dust collection system to capture over 99% of airborne rock fines directly at the hole collar.

Operational Benefits of the KD55E Integrated Rig

  • Massive 20 m³/min @ 22 Bar Flushing Velocity: The onboard two-stage screw air end delivers 20 m³/min airflow at 22 bar (319 psi), guaranteeing clean hole flushing and rapid penetration rate (ROP) down to 25 meters in large 115–165 mm boreholes.
  • High-Torque Rock Penetration (4,000 N·m): Delivers 4,000 N·m rotary torque for aggressive cutting through tough granite, basalt, and iron ore without drill-bit stalling.
  • Heavy-Duty 12.1-Ton High-Stability Platform: With a 12,100 kg operating weight, 430 mm ground clearance, and ±10° hydraulic frame levelling, the KD55E delivers exceptional stability and obstacle clearance on challenging ≤25° quarry benches.

Primary Industrial Applications

  • Large Open-Pit Mines & Commercial Quarries: Primary production blast-hole drilling (⌀115–165 mm) in limestone, granite, copper, gold, and cement aggregate quarries.
  • Heavy Civil Engineering & Mountain Cutting: High-bench side-slope pre-splitting, highway rock cuts, and deep foundation anchoring holes.
  • Hydropower & Foundation Excavation: Dam foundation rock consolidation, spillway excavation, and deep trench blasting.
  • Eco-Compliant Green Mining: An onboard heavy-duty hydraulic cyclonic laminar-flow dry dust collector captures over 99% of airborne mineral dust directly at the borehole collar.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the main performance advantages of the KD55E compared to the KD50E?

A: The KD55E is a significantly heavier class machine (12,100 kg vs. 10,000 kg), upgrading diesel engine power to 295 kW / 400 HP (vs. 191 kW), expanding screw compressor delivery to 20 m³/min @ 22 bar (vs. 17 m³/min @ 18 bar), boosting rotary torque to 4,000 N·m (vs. 2,800 N·m), extending borehole diameter up to 165 mm (vs. 146 mm), and lengthening single-pass advance stroke to 4,010 mm for heavy-duty 4" and 5" hammer drilling.

Q: Does the KD55E require an external auxiliary air compressor?

A: No. The KD55E is a 100% self-contained, integrated crawler drill rig with an onboard 22-bar, two-stage screw air compressor (20 m³/min) powered directly by its 295 kW Yuchai diesel engine, operating autonomously with no trailing air hoses.

Q: What drill pipes and DTH hammers are recommended for the KD55E?

A: The KD55E is factory-optimised for 4-inch and 5-inch high-pressure DTH hammers and Φ76 mm or heavy Φ89 mm × 3,000 mm friction-welded drill pipes, delivering exceptional energy transfer and penetration rates in hard rock formations up to f=20.
