Built-in multi-way directional valve bank with standardized hydraulic component layout, ensuring stable flow distribution and control of the hydraulic system. Supports independent adjustment of each actuator on the rig, providing responsive operation and easy maintenance.

3.User-friendly Control Design

The console features an ergonomically inclined panel with clear labeling and partitioned layout, reducing operator fatigue and improving work efficiency.

4.Crawler-mounted Undercarriage

Heavy-duty crawler chassis with widened track shoes and independent suspension system. Adapts to complex terrains such as mountains and swamps, offering excellent mobility and stability for rig movement and positioning under harsh conditions.

5.High-torque Rotary Head & Main Winch

Through-hole rotary head with a maximum torque of 7,600 N·m, paired with a 15-ton main winch. Capable of meeting 2,000‑meter deep-hole drilling requirements and efficiently handling 6‑meter drill rods, greatly reducing tripping time.

6.Precision Hydraulic Clamp

Double-cylinder driven, mechanically locking clamp with an inclined wedge clamping structure for reliable rod gripping, preventing dropped rods. Compatible with different rod sizes, enhancing operational safety and versatility.

7.Dedicated Core Barrels

Wireline core barrel system with modular design, including overshot and inner tube assembly, enabling efficient and non‑destructive recovery of deep‑hole cores. Compatible with NQ and other drilling sizes.

8.Powerful Engine

Equipped with a Cummins turbocharged engine with a power range of 180–210 kW. Delivers stable output even under extreme conditions such as high temperature and high altitude, ensuring continuous deep‑hole operation.

9.Fully Hydraulic Drive

Full hydraulic transmission for stepless speed regulation and smooth control, reducing mechanical shock and extending equipment life. Also simplifies the drive structure and minimizes potential failure points.

10.Modular Layout

Each system is designed with modularity in mind, facilitating on‑site maintenance and component replacement, reducing downtime, and improving availability and maintenance efficiency.

12.Comprehensive Safety Protection

Multiple safety mechanisms including emergency braking, anti‑error operation, and overload protection. Key components are made of high‑strength materials, suitable for demanding geological exploration environments.

Production workshop

Dear customers and friends, welcome to the drilling rig production workshop of Puhua Energy Equipment Technology (Shandong) Co., Ltd.

From steel plate cutting to final rig assembly, every CX series exploration drilling rig we manufacture undergoes rigorous forging and finishing right here in our workshop.

Our crawler drilling rig chassis are fully welded and assembled in‑house. We use high‑strength alloy steel to build an integrated frame, paired with thickened track shoes and heavy‑duty carrier rollers, ensuring the rig’s stability and mobility under complex working conditions — every detail is controlled at the source.

The core structural components of the rig, such as the mast and main frame, are manually assembled and calibrated by our experienced technicians using a modular assembly process. The installation position and coaxiality of each component are inspected with professional fixtures to guarantee smooth, jam‑free operation. The “SAFETY” signs hanging in our workshop represent our bottom‑line requirement for every production step and our solemn commitment to the safety of our customers’ equipment.

At the final assembly station, we integrate the power system, hydraulic system, control system, undercarriage, and structural parts. All hydraulic pipelines use standardized fittings and flame‑resistant hoses, and have passed strict pressure tests. The electrical wiring is designed with anti‑interference shielding. Before leaving the factory, every complete rig undergoes both no‑load and load testing to simulate different drilling conditions and comprehensively verify key parameters, ensuring that each unit delivers optimal performance from day one.

From incoming raw materials to finished product shipment, we have established a complete production traceability system. Every drilling rig can be traced back to the production and inspection records of its key components. We firmly believe that reliable, stable equipment starts with a rigorous manufacturing process. You are always welcome to visit our factory and see our production strength for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the maximum drilling depth of CX-2000? Which core sizes does it support?

Under standard NQ (approx. 75 mm) wireline coring conditions, the CX-2000 can reach a depth of up to 2,000 meters. It is also compatible with HQ, NQ, BQ and other common core barrel sizes for various geological exploration requirements.

2. Can this rig operate on mountain or muddy terrain? What is its gradeability?

Yes. The CX-2000 is equipped with a heavy‑duty crawler undercarriage, widened track shoes, and an independent suspension system. It can climb slopes of 25°–30° and travel stably over muddy, gravel, and hilly terrain.

3. What are the advantages of fully hydraulic drive over traditional mechanical rigs?

Fully hydraulic drive provides stepless speed control and smooth operation, reducing mechanical shock and extending the life of drill rods and the rotary head. The hydraulic layout is compact with fewer failure points, and maintenance costs are lower compared to mechanical clutch/gearbox structures.

4. What is the maximum torque and speed range of the rotary head?

The rotary head delivers a maximum torque of 7,600 N·m, with steplessly adjustable speed via the hydraulic system, making it suitable for large‑diameter drilling, hard rock drilling, and wireline coring.

5. Does the rig need to be disassembled for transport? Can it fit on one truck?

Thanks to its modular design, the rig can be quickly separated into 2–3 main modules (undercarriage, mast, control console, etc.) for transport on standard flatbed trucks. An integrated transport solution is also available upon request.

6. Is the hydraulic system stable under high or low ambient temperatures?

The system is equipped with a large‑capacity radiator and an automatic temperature‑controlled fan, ensuring stable operation between -15°C and +45°C. For extreme cold or high‑altitude areas, optional hydraulic oil pre‑heaters and low‑temperature components are available.
