Heavy-duty surface crawlers and integrated rigs for open-pit mining, quarry blasting, and slope stabilization. High penetration rate and anti-jamming hydraulic system.

Kaishan KW450 450m Deep Water Well Drilling Rig

The Kaishan KW450 is a versatile, crawler-mounted deep water well and geothermal drilling rig engineered to reach depths up to 450 meters with hole diameters ranging from ⌀140 mm to 350 mm. Powered by a heavy-duty 103 kW Weichai turbocharged diesel engine delivering 9,500 N·m rotary torque and 25-ton (250 kN) pullback force, it delivers penetration speeds of 15–35 m/h across both alluvial soil and hard rock formations (f=6–20).
Gas & Water Dual Driller: Three-speed top drive power head seamlessly operates with high-pressure air DTH hammers (17–35 bar) or mud rotary pumps.
6.6m Advance Stroke: Two-stage telescopic carriage directly accommodates standard 6-meter drill pipes (⌀89/102mm), cutting rod extension cycles in half.
1.6m High Hydraulic Legs: Allows quick jobsite leveling on uneven ground and crane-free self-loading/unloading onto flatbed transport trailers.
Compact & Agile: 9.4-ton operating weight with durable crawler base enables smooth transport and high mobility in tight rural and urban jobsites.
  • Product Detail Introduction

Direct Overview: The Kaishan KW450 is a versatile, crawler-mounted deep water well and geothermal borehole drilling rig engineered to drill diameters of ⌀140 mm to 350 mm down to a maximum depth of 450 meters. Powered by a heavy-duty 103 kW Weichai turbocharged diesel engine delivering 9,500 N·m rotary torque and 25-ton (250 kN) pullback force, it features a 6.6-meter stroke mast accommodating 6-meter drill pipes and supports dual-mode drilling—both high-pressure DTH air hammer percussion (17–35 bar) for hard rock and mud rotary pumping for soft soil—at penetration rates of 15–35 m/h.

Versatile 450m Deep Water Well & Geothermal Drilling Solutions

Groundwater drilling projects for agricultural irrigation, commercial water supply, and geothermal heat pump HVAC installations frequently encounter complex, mixed strata ranging from loose sand, mud, and gravel to hard basalt and granite (f=6–20). Traditional rotary table drill rigs lack efficiency in hard rock, while basic DTH rigs face borehole instability in soft alluvial layers.

The Kaishan KW450 combines powerful hydraulic top-drive technology with an innovative two-stage telescopic feed carriage. Operating up to 10 times faster than conventional rotary drilling rigs, it seamlessly switches between high-pressure air percussion, foam flushing, and heavy mud drilling, providing contractors with an exceptionally economical, highly mobile 450-meter drilling platform.

Core Engineering Features & Performance Advantages

103 kW Weichai Turbocharged Engine

Equipped with an industrial 103 kW Weichai turbocharged diesel engine driving parallel hydraulic transmission with independent oil pumps. Ensures balanced power delivery, simple maintenance, and high reliability under heavy loads.

25-Ton Pullback & 6.6m Long Stroke Mast

Dual-cylinder lifting mechanism delivers a massive 25T (250 kN) pullback force. The 6.6m one-time advance stroke allows running standard 6-meter drill pipes (as well as 1.5m, 2m, or 3m rods), cutting joint connections in half.

Three-Speed Hydraulic Top Drive

Features a 3-gear adjustable distribution valve providing 7,000–9,500 N·m rotary torque and 50–135 r/min rotation speed. Large hollow spindle allows seamless alternate operation with compressed air, foam, and mud.

1.6m High Hydraulic Leveling Outriggers

Four heavy-duty hydraulic outriggers provide a 1.6-meter vertical stroke. Enables instant chassis leveling on rough jobsites and allows the rig to self-load and unload onto flatbed transport trucks without an auxiliary crane.

Axial Compression & Decompression Control

Unique long-hole axial pressure adjustment system modulates weight-on-bit (WOB) as drilling depth deepens, reducing steering resistance and preventing drill string deviation in deep 450m boreholes.

Durable Crawler Chassis & 2T Winch

Reinforced crawler undercarriage with wide track pads provides 30° climbing capability while minimizing ground damage. Standard equipment includes a 2-ton auxiliary tool winch, rod centralizer, and automatic hammer lubricator.

Recommended Auxiliary Equipment Matching

To achieve optimal penetration across 140–350 mm boreholes down to 450 meters, the KW450 pairs with standard portable compressors and mud pumps:

High-Pressure Air Compressors

Kaishan LGCY-18/17, LGCY-22/20, or KSCY-750/20 (17–25 bar, 18–22 m³/min) for fast DTH hammer penetration in hard bedrock.

Mud Drilling Pump Stations

BW-200 or BW-250 reciprocating mud pumps for borehole wall stabilization and drilling through loose gravel, sand, and clay formations.

Primary Engineering Applications

  • Agricultural Irrigation Wells: Deep agricultural boreholes for pivot systems, orchards, and livestock farms.
  • Potable Groundwater Boreholes: Municipal, commercial, and residential clean water wells in mountainous and rocky terrains.
  • Geothermal HVAC Ground Loops: Geothermal heat pump energy well drilling for heating and cooling systems.
  • Foundation & Dewatering Wells: Industrial dewatering, ground monitoring, and civil anchoring hole drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the maximum drilling depth of the Kaishan KW450?

A: The KW450 is rated for drilling depths up to 450 meters (1,476 ft) with hole diameters from 140 mm to 350 mm, powered by a 25-ton lifting force mast.

Q: How does the KW450 compare to the KW500?

A: The KW450 is a more compact, lightweight machine (9.4T vs. 11.5T) powered by a 103 kW Weichai engine with a 450m depth rating and 25T pullback. The KW500 offers a 500m depth rating with a 118 kW engine and 26T pullback, tailored for slightly heavier deep-well projects.

Q: Can the KW450 drill in both soft soil and hard rock?

A: Yes. Its large-hollow-spindle top drive allows seamless operation with high-pressure air and DTH hammers for hard rock (granite, basalt), and positive mud pumping for soft clay, sand, and gravel strata.
