Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) | Underground hard rock mining, tunnel construction | Drilling Diameter Range: 60-200mm (Base) ▲ 60-800mm (Advanced) (ISO 14399) (▲: Expanded capacity for large-scale projects) | High precision, versatile diameter options, durable construction | Higher upfront cost, requires skilled operators, maintenance intensive |
Rotary Drilling Rig | Exploration drilling, soft/medium rock mining | Max Drilling Depth: 500m (Base) ▲ 1,200m (Advanced) (ASTM F1940) (▲: Enhanced reach for deeper exploration) | Lower cost, easier maintenance, adaptable to various terrains | Limited to softer ground, slower penetration in hard rock, less versatile |
Percussion Drill | Rock breaking in mining tunnels, shafts | Impact Force: 2,500 N (Base) ▲ 5,000 N (Advanced) (ISO 1367-1) (▲: Doubles breaking power for tougher rock) | Effective in hard rock, compact design, high impact efficiency | High noise/vibration (105 dB), limited depth capability, frequent bit changes |
Jackleg Drill | Mining and construction drilling | Rotation Speed: 50-300 RPM (Base) ▲ 50-500 RPM (Advanced) (ISO 14399) (▲: Faster drilling cycles for efficiency) | Portable, versatile for multiple applications, cost-effective | Lower power compared to TBM, limited to smaller diameter holes (≤ 150mm), slower pace |
Raise Boring Machine | Vertical shaft construction in mines | Borehole Diameter: 1.5-6m (Advanced only) (ASTM F2088) (▲: Exclusive to Advanced for large-scale shafts) | Efficient for large vertical bores, reduces manual labor | High capital cost (>$2M), requires experienced operators, site-specific limitations |
Hydraulic Rock Drill | Underground mining, tunnel support | Thrust Force: 50 kN (Base) ▲ 120 kN (Advanced) (ISO 1367-2) (▲: 140% increase in penetration force) | Powerful for hard rock, reliable performance, easy to maneuver | Heavyweight (2,000-3,000 kg), higher fuel consumption (15 L/hr), maintenance costs |
