200 m Diesel Core and Water Well Drilling Rig

Overview

A core rig first

Many rigs in the drilling range cut open holes for water. This one is listed as a core drilling rig, which takes a continuous cylinder of rock or soil out of the hole. Geologists use the core to study layers, test strength and find mineral content. It also drills water wells, so a contractor can use one machine for sampling and for production holes.

Size and power

The rig weighs 3,000 kg and measures 1,750 mm long, 860 mm wide and 1,400 mm high. A diesel engine supplies the power, and the unit is mobile, so it can be moved on a truck or trailer from site to site. The stated depth is 200 m, with hole diameters listed from 50 mm up to 300 mm, so choose the diameter before ordering.

What to settle before ordering

Core drilling depends on the right core barrels, bits and drill rods. They are specified for your rock type and sample diameter. The engine rating and the feed system are given in the quotation.

Choosing among similar rigs

If you only need water wells, our 200 m diesel hydraulic rig has a stated torque and lifting force. If you need to move the rig by hand into remote ground, our 600 m portable rig is lighter. This core rig is the choice when sampling quality matters.

Core rig or water well rig

This rig is listed with core drilling first, and that decides what you buy. A core rig turns a hollow bit that cuts a solid cylinder of rock, so geologists can see what is under the ground. A water well rig needs a larger hole and a faster penetration, and uses different bits, pipe and flushing. At 3,000 kg and 1,750 mm long, this one is made for exploration crews and small boreholes that must be carried to remote places. If your main job is water wells, compare it with our 200 m 37 kW rig, which has a stated torque and lifting force and a larger hole range. Pick this one when core quality and portability matter. Most exploration crews carry spare rods, bits and a small pump so a hole is never held up for a missing part. Plan water for flushing at the drill site, since core drilling uses a steady flow.
