The Places That Need To Be Inspected before Operating A Rotary Drilling Rig

Before operating a rotary drilling rig, a comprehensive and meticulous inspection is the key to ensuring operation safety and the normal operation of the equipment. Here are several important areas that must be inspected before drilling for you:

1. Power system: First, check if the levels of engine oil and coolant are normal, and if the belt is loose or worn. After starting, pay attention to whether the engine runs smoothly and if there is any abnormal noise or oil leakage.

2. Hydraulic system: Check the quality and quantity of the hydraulic oil, observe whether there is any leakage or aging in the hydraulic pipelines, and ensure that the working conditions of each hydraulic valve are normal to guarantee the stability of the hydraulic system pressure.

3. Drill tools section: Carefully inspect the wear degree of the drill pipe and drill bit, whether the connection parts are firm, and whether the tooth seat and tooth tip are intact to prevent the drill tools from falling off or being damaged during operation.

4. Braking and Traveling: Test whether the traveling braking system is sensitive and effective, whether the tension of the tracks is appropriate, and whether there are any cracks or excessive wear on components such as the track plates, drive wheels, and guide wheels.

5. Electrical System: Check whether the displays of all instruments are normal, whether the electrical equipment such as lights, speakers, and wipers can work properly, and whether the cables are damaged or loose to prevent electrical faults from affecting operation.

6. Safety devices: Confirm whether the fire extinguisher is within its validity period, whether the safety warning signs are clear, whether the doors and Windows of the cab and the seat belts are in good condition, and whether all limit switches and alarm devices are sensitive and reliable.

Conducting these checks before starting a rotary drilling rig can help identify potential problems in a timely manner, prevent safety hazards and equipment malfunctions during operation, and make the drilling rig operation safer and more efficient.
