Kaishan DTH Drilling Rigs

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 KW500 500m Deep Water Well Drilling Rig

The Kaishan KW500 is a versatile, crawler-mounted deep water well and geothermal borehole drilling rig engineered to reach depths of up to 500 meters with hole diameters from ⌀140 mm to 350 mm. Powered by a fuel-efficient 118 kW Yuchai turbocharged diesel engine delivering 10,000 N·m rotary torque and a robust 26-ton (260 kN) pullback force, it achieves high penetration rates (15–35 m/h) across both soft soil and hard rock strata (f=6–20).
Gas & Water Dual Driller: Large-spindle top drive allows seamless operation with high-pressure DTH air hammers (17–35 bar) or mud rotary pumps.
6.6m Advance Stroke: Heavy structural mast accommodates standard 6-meter drill pipes (⌀102/108/114mm), significantly reducing rod-change downtime.
1.7m High Hydraulic Legs: Enables instant leveling on uneven ground and crane-free self-loading/unloading onto flatbed transport trailers.
Auxiliary Equipment: Standard 2-ton hydraulic tool winch, visual feed pressure regulation, and auxiliary welding/foam interfaces.
  • Product Detail Introduction

Direct Overview: The Kaishan KW500 is a heavy-duty, crawler-mounted multifunctional deep water well and geothermal borehole drilling rig designed for depths up to 500 meters with hole diameters ranging from ⌀140 mm to 350 mm. Powered by a fuel-efficient 118 kW Yuchai diesel engine delivering 10,000 N·m rotary torque and a 26-ton (260 kN) pullback force, it features a hybrid "Gas & Water" dual-mode system that supports both high-pressure DTH air hammer percussion (17–35 bar) in hard bedrock and mud rotary pumping in loose overburden at penetration rates of 15–35 m/h.

High-Efficiency 500m Water Well & Geothermal Drilling Rig

Agricultural irrigation, commercial groundwater intake, and geothermal HVAC ground-loop installations frequently encounter unpredictable subterranean geology—alternating between loose sand, sticky clay, thick pebble/cobble strata, and solid hard rock (f=6–20). Traditional single-method drilling rigs often suffer severe delays or borehole collapse when switching between these layers.

The Kaishan KW500 eliminates these construction bottlenecks by combining hydraulic top-drive technology with a large-spindle-diameter power head. Achieving drilling speeds up to 10 times faster than conventional rotary table drills, the KW500 allows contractors to transition smoothly between air percussion, foam mist flushing, and positive-displacement mud drilling on a single versatile crawler platform.

Core Engineering Features & Performance Advantages

118 kW High-Efficiency Yuchai Diesel Engine

Powered by an industrial-grade 118 kW Yuchai turbocharged engine engineered for low specific fuel consumption, low emissions, and reliable continuous heavy-load performance across harsh remote jobsites.

26-Ton Pullback & 6.6m Advance Stroke

Reinforced structural mast provides 26T (260 kN) rig lifting force with an extended 6.6m one-time advance stroke, allowing direct handling of standard 6-meter drill pipes and heavy casing strings, reducing joint-connection cycle times by 50%.

High-Torque Dual-Speed Top Drive

Hydraulic top drive power head generates 7,500–10,000 N·m rotary torque and 40–130 r/min stepless rotation. Features a large hollow spindle bore compatible with compressed air, foam flushing, and heavy mud pump circulation.

1.7m High Hydraulic Outriggers

Four heavy-duty hydraulic leveling outriggers offer an extended 1.7m travel stroke. Facilitates instant site leveling without cranes and enables direct self-loading and unloading onto flatbed transport trucks.

Visual Pressure-Regulating Feed Control

Integrated compression and decompression hydraulic circuit allows drillers to visually monitor and adjust weight-on-bit (WOB) as drilling depth deepens, preventing rod bending and premature hammer wear.

All-in-One Hydraulic Workstation

Comes standard with a 2-ton auxiliary hydraulic tool hoist, swing-out centralizer guide, hydraulic rod breakout wrench, and pre-reserved hydraulic interfaces for onboard foam pumps and welding generators.

Recommended Auxiliary Equipment Matching

For efficient 140–350 mm deep borehole penetration down to 500 meters, the KW500 connects directly with the following high-pressure auxiliary packages:

High-Pressure Air Compressors

Kaishan LGCY-22/20, LGCY-26/20, or KSCY-750/20 (20–25 bar, 22–26 m³/min) for high-speed DTH hammer drilling in rock formations.

Mud Drilling Pump Stations

BW-250 or BW-320 high-pressure reciprocating mud pumps for wall protection and rotary bit drilling in soft clay, sand, and gravel layers.

Target Industrial Applications

  • Deep Groundwater Wells: High-yield drinking water wells in arid, mountainous, and rock formations.
  • Agricultural Irrigation Wells: Large-capacity farm boreholes for pivot systems and livestock water supply.
  • Geothermal Heat Pump Boreholes: Ground source energy loops for commercial and industrial climate control.
  • Dewatering & Monitoring Wells: Construction foundation dewatering and environmental groundwater monitoring holes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the maximum drilling capacity of the Kaishan KW500?

A: The KW500 is engineered to drill boreholes between 140 mm and 350 mm in diameter up to an economical depth of 500 meters using 6", 7", or 8" DTH hammers and ⌀102/108/114 mm drill pipes.

Q: What is the difference between Kaishan KW500 and KW600C?

A: The KW500 offers a 500-meter drilling depth with a 26-ton lifting force and an 118 kW Yuchai engine (11.5T weight), making it lighter and highly economical for mid-to-deep wells. In contrast, the KW600C reaches 600 meters with a 30-ton pullback capacity, 132 kW Cummins engine, and 13-ton overall machine weight.

Q: Can the KW500 self-load onto flatbed trailers?

A: Yes. The four hydraulic outriggers have a 1.7-meter vertical stroke, enabling the rig to elevate above standard flatbed trailer height so the transport truck can drive underneath directly, eliminating mobile crane rental costs.
