  • 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 high-output 295 kW (400 HP) Yuchai YCK09400 diesel engine with dual-terminal outputs, it eliminates the need to tow a trailer compressor, reduces jobsite fuel burn by up to 25%, and avoids trailing air-hose hazards.

Mechanized 7+1 Auto Carousel & 4,000 N·m High Torque

Equipped with an automated 7+1 carousel rod-handling system, automatic thread oiling, and anti-jamming protection for single-operator deep drilling to 24 meters. Powered by a heavy-duty rotary head delivering 4,000 N·m maximum torque and 25 kN feed force, optimised for 5-inch DTH hammers across large 115–165 mm blast holes.

13-Ton High-Stability Chassis, Dual-Hinge Boom & Dust Collector

Built on a 13,000 kg heavy-duty crawler undercarriage with 430 mm ground clearance and ±10° hydraulic frame levelling for steady gradeability up to 25°. Features an innovative dual-hinge articulated carriage swing mechanism (Hinge 1: R48°/L47°, Hinge 2: R92°/L3°) and an onboard hydraulic cyclonic dry dust collector capturing over 99% of airborne mineral dust directly at the hole collar.

Operational Benefits of the KD55ED Integrated Rig

  • Single-Operator Automated Handling: With an automated 7+1 carousel rod changer and automatic thread lubrication module, one operator manages continuous deep drilling to 24 meters without physical pipe handling, dramatically reducing labour fatigue and accident risk.
  • 20 m³/min @ 22 Bar High-Pressure Flushing: The onboard two-stage screw air end delivers 20 m³/min airflow at 22 bar (319 psi), ensuring clean hole flushing and rapid penetration rates (ROP) to 24 meters in large 115–165 mm boreholes.
  • Super-Heavy 13-Ton High-Stability Platform: With a 13,000 kg machine weight, 430 mm ground clearance, and ±10° hydraulic frame levelling, the KD55ED delivers exceptional anti-overturning stability and obstacle clearance on challenging ≤25° quarry benches.

Primary Industrial Applications

  • Large Open-Pit Mines & Commercial Limestone Quarries: Automated primary production blast-hole and pre-splitting drilling (⌀115–165 mm) in cement aggregate, granite, and metal mines.
  • Heavy Civil Engineering & Highway Construction: Mountain rock cuts, steep high-bench side-slope pre-splitting, and deep foundation anchoring holes.
  • Hydropower & Foundation Excavation: Dam foundation rock consolidation, spillway excavation, and deep pipeline trenching.
  • Eco-Compliant Green Mining: The 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 KD55ED compared to the KD55E?

A: The KD55ED integrates a mechanised 7+1 automatic carousel rod changer and an automatic thread lubrication module for single-operator automated pipe changeout. It also increases operating machine weight to 13,000 kg (versus 12,100 kg on KD55E) for maximum drilling stability and features an expanded dual-hinge carriage swing mechanism for superior multi-angle bench positioning reach.

Q: Does the KD55ED require an external auxiliary air compressor?

A: No. The KD55ED 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 rods and DTH hammers are recommended for the KD55ED?

A: The KD55ED is factory-optimised for 5-inch high-pressure DTH hammers and Φ76 mm × 3,000 mm friction-welded drill pipes, delivering exceptional energy transfer and penetration rates in hard rock formations up to f=20.
