Tips for Extending The Service Life of Rotary Drilling RIGS

As a "heavy-duty tool" in engineering construction, the service life of rotary drilling RIGS directly affects construction efficiency and cost. Mastering scientific maintenance techniques can effectively delay the aging of equipment and ensure its continuous and stable operation. The following are practical methods for extending the service life of rotary drilling RIGS.

1. Regularly change the hydraulic oil: The hydraulic system is the "heart" of the equipment. The hydraulic oil should be replaced regularly as per the instructions. At the same time, the oil tank and filter element should be cleaned to prevent oil contamination and component wear, ensuring the efficient operation of the hydraulic system.

2. Ensure regular lubrication and maintenance: For all rotating parts such as drill pipe connections and slewing bearings, grease should be added on time to reduce mechanical friction losses and prevent premature damage to components due to dry grinding.

3. Timely clean equipment impurities: After operation, promptly remove the soil and gravel from the drill bit, and rinse the dust and oil stains adhering to the machine body to prevent impurities from eroding the surface and crevices of the equipment, and to prevent rust and component jamming.

4. Standardized operation to avoid overload: Operate strictly in accordance with the rated parameters of the equipment, avoid drilling under overload or forcibly pulling out the drill pipe, reduce excessive wear and tear on the mechanical structure and power system, and prevent malfunctions caused by improper operation.

5. Pay attention to the condition of key components: Regularly inspect the wear of vulnerable parts such as drill pipes, drill bits, and steel wire ropes. Replace them promptly when cracks, deformations, or excessive wear are found to prevent minor issues from escalating into major malfunctions.

6. Properly store idle equipment: When the equipment is idle for a long time, it should be parked in a dry and well-ventilated place. Anti-rust oil should be applied to components such as drill pipes. The power supply should be cut off and the equipment should be started regularly to prevent rusting of components and aging of circuits.

In conclusion, extending the service life of rotary drilling RIGS cannot be achieved without regular maintenance and upkeep, standardized operation procedures, and meticulous storage management. Although these small tips are simple, they can significantly reduce equipment failures, lower maintenance costs, and enable rotary drilling RIGS to play a longer role in engineering construction.
