Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many meters can a water well drill rig drill per day? How efficient is it?
   Depending on the geological conditions of the well, a medium-sized water well drilling rig can complete about 30-80 meters of drilling per day. If it is a soft layer, the efficiency is higher; if it encounters pebbles or interbedded layer, the progress will be slowed down. the YG drilling rig is equipped with a hydraulic automatic feeding system, which ensures the safety and improves the working efficiency at the same time.
2. Do I need to add mud when drilling with a water well drilling rig?
   Yes, the use of mud or water circulation system is recommended in most formations to help cool the drill bit, carry rock chips, and keep the hole wall stable. yg rigs are equipped with a variety of circulation systems to meet the needs of different construction environments.
3. What kind of geological survey applications are core drilling rigs suitable for?
   The core drilling rig is mainly used for core sample extraction of metal mineral resources, coal seams, underground water level, geological structures and so on. It can accurately reflect the geological layers and is an important tool for mine prospecting and scientific research investigation.
4. What factors affect the core drilling depth?
   The drilling depth depends on the equipment torque, the rigidity of the drill pipe, the material of the drill bit and the hardness of the stratum. For example, the YG-CX600 can reach over 600 meters in soft rock formations, but in high hardness granite, it is recommended to core no more than 3 meter sections at a time to ensure sample integrity.
5. Can small water well drilling rigs drill rocks?
   Small drilling rigs (e.g. YG-SP100) are mainly used in soft strata such as soil and sand, and are not recommended for drilling large areas of hard rock. However, if it is equipped with small diameter alloy drill bit, it can be used for shallow drilling operation in thin layer of rock, which is suitable for home or agricultural water source development.
6. Is the small portable drilling rig good for transportation? Is it suitable for rural areas?
   Very suitable. Portable water well drilling rigs generally weigh less than 300kg, and can be manually carried by two people; some models are equipped with small wheels or dismounted design, which is suitable for construction on roadless or sloping land. They are especially suitable for water source development and shallow well construction in remote rural areas.
7. What kind of geology is the Down Hole Drilling Rig suitable for? What’s the difference with normal drilling rigs?
   The Down Hole Drilling Rig is suitable for extremely hard geological formations, it can easily penetrate the rock layer by providing strong striking force through the pneumatic impactor. Compared with ordinary drilling rigs, it has higher efficiency and stable drilling diameter, which is especially suitable for blasthole and anchor hole drilling.
8. How many people are needed to operate the rotary drilling rig? Is there any requirement for the construction site?
   Usually one operator + one co-operator is needed. The rotary drilling rig has high requirements on the site, which should ensure the ground is level and there is enough space for lifting and steering. In order to ensure the accuracy of the hole position, it is recommended to lay out the line and compact the site in advance.
9. Can rotary drilling rigs be used for seepage control construction?
   Yes, rotary drilling rigs can be used for seepage control. YG rotary drilling rig is commonly used in diaphragm wall and dam seepage control projects, forming a continuous and closed reinforcement layer through high-pressure grouting to prevent groundwater infiltration.YG rotary drilling rig is widely used in subway station enclosure projects because of the uniformity of grout spraying and flexible control.
10. Is one drill rig compatible with multiple drill bits?
    Most drill rigs support changing drill bits to suit different formations. YG rigs support a wide range of drill bit types such as alloy, diamond, triplex, spiral, etc., which ensures drilling compatibility and cost control.
11. What are the safety precautions during drilling?
    Be sure to complete equipment checks (connections, hydraulics, speed) before operation. Wear helmets, goggles, and noise-proof earmuffs during operation. When the drilling rig is running, it is strictly prohibited to touch the drill pipe, belt, or turntable area with hands. The construction site should be kept dry and stable to avoid tipping over.

12. Can YG provide after-sales service and spare parts support?
    Of course, YG Machinery provides worldwide after-sales technical support, including remote guidance, video teaching, express delivery of spare parts, etc. For bulk purchase customers, YG Machinery can also provide after-sales technical support. For bulk purchase, we can also send technicians to guide the installation and operation on site.
13. Can your drill rigs be exported to Europe/Africa?
    Yes, YG has rich export experience, the equipment supports CE, ISO certification, and can be customized according to the local voltage/engine standard, the transportation method includes the whole machine or CKD/SKD disassembled packaging, applicable to many countries and regions around the world.
14. How to choose the right drill rig for you?
    suggests you consider according to the following factors:
    a. Construction depth and hole diameter (e.g. SP100 is recommended within 100 meters)
    b. Geological conditions (soft soil, water layer, pebble layer or hard rock)
    c. Budget and frequency of use (small equipment for temporary use, tracked recommended for long term operation)
