Product Overview

MK fully hydraulic exploration core drilling rigs are compact crawler-mounted machines developed for mineral exploration and wireline coring. Their hydraulic power heads support high-torque and high-speed drilling, while the balanced-pressure system helps control bit pressure in complex formations and deep holes.

Key Features

  • Accurate coring for representative geological samples
  • Hydraulic power head for torque and speed control
  • Centralized electro-hydraulic controls
  • Automatic pressure-maintaining drill-pipe clamp
  • High-pressure mud-system option for high-solids drilling fluids

Applications and Options

Mineral exploration and wireline coring in hard rock and complex formations. Confirm core size, target depth, geology, transport access and mud-system requirement.

Review the listed mud pump, crawler type and remote-control configuration for the selected variant.

Planning An Enquiry For MK-CORE-800-1 Fully Hydraulic Exploration Core Drilling Rig

The following information supplements the product record. It is planning guidance, not additional model specifications or a confirmed equipment match.

Start With The Required Sample

Specify the core-sampling objective, required core size, target depth and planned hole direction. Core and RC sampling supply different sample forms; they should not be treated as the same enquiry simply because both are used in exploration.

Read Capacity With Its Stated Basis

Check the rod or drilling-system basis of any listed capacity. Identify tooling, circulation and handling requirements separately. Do not infer another size capacity from a single depth figure or a model name.

Prepare The Exploration Scope

Include the formation information, site access, working area, proposed sampling programme and existing tooling. Request the specific rig configuration and a list of rods, barrels, bits and supporting equipment to be included. Recovery or sampling results require their own site-specific assessment.
