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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

To achieve optimal penetration across 140–350 mm boreholes down to 450 meters, the KW450 pairs with standard portable compressors and mud pumps:
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.
BW-200 or BW-250 reciprocating mud pumps for borehole wall stabilization and drilling through loose gravel, sand, and clay formations.
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.
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.
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.
