Tunnel Drilling Rig Assists Large Domestic Mine in Efficient Construction

Recently, the UX1000 series tunnel drilling rig, independently developed and produced by Puhua Energy Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., was successfully deployed for construction in the underground workings of a large domestic metal mine. With its outstanding performance, it has significantly improved the efficiency of underground ore body exploration operations, becoming important equipment support for the mine's intelligent and green transformation.

Located in western China, this mine faces complex geological conditions, large tunnel cross-sections, and poor surrounding rock stability. Traditional drilling equipment encountered issues such as low efficiency, high energy consumption, and elevated safety risks during construction. The newly introduced fully hydraulic intelligent tunnel drilling rig from Puhua Energy Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., featuring an advanced intelligent control system, enables automated drilling control, automatic stratum adaptation, intelligent parameter adjustment, as well as on-site data remote communication monitoring and remote service support. This effectively addresses the challenges of efficient drilling in complex geological environments.

On-site footage shows the yellow-painted UX1000 tunnel drilling rig standing steadily within the arched support tunnel, with its highly integrated control system being user-friendly. Three workers, wearing safety protective clothing and helmets, collaborate beside the rig, monitoring drilling parameters in real-time via a remote control console. The rig operates smoothly, producing high-quality boreholes and substantially reducing the single-hole construction cycle, achieving an efficiency increase of approximately 40% compared to traditional equipment.

According to the project manager, "This drilling rig not only operates at high speed but also significantly reduces energy consumption, cutting unit drilling energy use by nearly 25% compared to similar products. It truly achieves the triple goals of 'high efficiency, energy saving, and safety.'" Furthermore, the equipment's automatic slag removal system and anti-jamming technology further enhance continuous operation capability, reduce downtime for maintenance, and ensure construction continuity.

Puhua Energy Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. remains committed to the research, development, and innovation of high-end energy equipment. The successful application of the UX series tunnel drilling rig marks a breakthrough in core technologies for domestically produced high-end mining drilling equipment. In the future, the company will continue to increase R&D investment, promoting the deployment of more intelligent and green equipment in major projects such as mines, tunnels, and water conservancy, providing solid technical support for national energy and resource development.

This successful case further validates the independent innovation capabilities and market competitiveness of China's high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises, injecting new momentum into the construction of green mines under the "dual carbon" goals.
