Chinese rotary drilling rigs are highly sought after overseas, with XCMG and Sany equipment performing exceptionally well.
With the booming development of global infrastructure construction, Chinese rotary drilling rigs, with their excellent performance and technological innovation, continue to expand into the international market. In particular, equipment from XCMG and Sany is highly favored by foreign customers, becoming a shining example of China's high-end equipment manufacturing 'going global'.
High cost-effectiveness, precisely meeting overseas demands
Compared to similar products from established European and American brands, XCMG and SANY rotary drilling rigs demonstrate excellent cost-effectiveness while ensuring superior performance. Take the XCMG XR120A rotary drilling rig as an example. Its imported Kawasaki hydraulic components, well-matched power system, and high construction efficiency are noteworthy. The extendable special rotary drilling chassis ensures the stability of the entire machine's operation. The double-box type boom mechanism facilitates transportation and improves operational reliability. The imported Cummins engine's unique speed regulation design achieves fuel efficiency and energy saving. The standard centralized lubrication system makes maintenance and upkeep convenient and efficient. With such a configuration, the price is more attractive than similar European and American products, winning the recognition of numerous customers in emerging markets. SANY's SR110 rotary drilling rig also performs exceptionally well. As a small-torque rotary drilling rig, its maximum output torque is 120 kN, and the maximum hole diameter is 1.25 meters. It is suitable for the foundation construction of small-diameter piles in civil engineering projects. Its affordable price and stable performance provide a high-quality option for overseas customers with limited budgets.
Technological innovation, leading industry development trends
XCMG and SANY continuously strive for technological innovation, injecting strong momentum into the development of rotary drilling rigs. The XCMG XR1600F rotary drilling rig can be considered a culmination of technology, suitable for super-large pile foundation projects such as super-high-rise buildings, high-speed railways, cross-river and cross-sea bridges, and offshore wind power. It is equipped with two Volvo high-power engines, combined with a four-wheel drive chassis, providing strong driving force. The distributed power system can achieve optimal real-time power matching, and multiple pumps working together ensure smooth compound movements. In terms of energy saving, multi-gear drilling modes and stepless speed regulation can match the optimal torque and speed for different strata. Coupled with the dual hydraulic system and full-electric control technology, it reduces energy consumption while improving control precision and smoothness. SANY rotary drilling rigs are equally impressive. In the Kunming Changshui International Airport expansion project, faced with the challenges of complex underlying structures and natural rock compressive strength as high as 60-70 MPa, SANY's rotary drilling rig's large-displacement, high-power engine is powerful and energy-efficient. The advanced power control system fully utilizes the performance of the pumps and valves, and the main hoisting speed is fast, allowing it to flexibly handle on-site emergencies. The intelligent control system automatically adjusts and displays the verticality of the derrick in real time, significantly improving the stability of the pile foundation construction and the quality of hole formation. Even when facing slightly weathered hard rock layers, it can perform efficient drilling operations. The newly developed positive flow control system can reduce energy consumption by 8%, resulting in significant overall fuel savings.
Diverse working conditions, achieving remarkable results in global projects
XCMG and SANY rotary drilling rigs have demonstrated their excellent performance in various complex working conditions worldwide, fully proving their strong adaptability. At a European residential construction project site, the XCMG XR320E multi-functional rotary drilling rig, facing soft soil conditions, can automatically inject slurry and remove soil in CFA mode. Its powerful engine and high drilling speed easily overcome construction difficulties. In rotary drilling mode, it also has excellent casing construction capabilities, with a reserved casing machine interface and a long power head stroke to meet various construction needs. It has laid a solid foundation for the project, earning high praise from the project owner: "The performance of this XR320E far exceeded expectations; we will choose XCMG for our next drilling rig!" SANY rotary drilling rigs have also achieved remarkable results overseas, actively participating in the construction of countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, operating stably under complex geological conditions, and helping to bring local infrastructure construction to a new level.
With the global infrastructure boom continuing to heat up, XCMG and SANY rotary drilling rigs, with their advantages in cost-effectiveness, technology, and adaptability to various working conditions, are expected to further expand their presence in the international market, contributing more Chinese wisdom and strength to global infrastructure construction, and inspiring more Chinese equipment manufacturing enterprises to shine on the international stage.
