South Africa, as the economic engine of the African continent, has rich mineral resources, and mining has always been the pillar industry of its national economy. In recent years, with the continuous increase in the depth of mineral exploration and the increasing requirements for environmental protection and operating efficiency, traditional drilling equipment has been unable to meet the needs of modern mining development. However, the YG full hydraulic core drilling rig is efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent, and is loved by more and more customers. Today, we want to share a real customer case from South Africa, telling how a leading mining company successfully improved drilling efficiency, reduced operating costs, and achieved good results in multiple projects with the help of the fully hydraulic core drill rigs provided by YG Machinery.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Skype/Phone】+86 136 1385 6800

Fully Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig Customer Project Application and Positive Feedback:
The Mining Group finally purchased 3 YGX-600 fully hydraulic core drilling rigs and put them into the following three projects:
Project 1: [Gold Mine Exploration Project]:
The project is located in hard rock formations. The old drilling rigs used in the past had low drilling efficiency and low core recovery rates. The YGX-600 drilling rig performed well in this project with its powerful power and stable performance, greatly improving drilling efficiency and shortening the exploration cycle.
Project 2: [Gold Mine Exploration Project]:
The project is located in a fault fracture zone with a complex geological structure and a high risk of borehole collapse. With its precise hydraulic control system and stable drill rod stabilizer, the YGX-600 drilling rig effectively controls the drilling trajectory, avoids borehole collapse, and ensures the smooth progress of the project.
Project 3: [Coal Mine Exploration Project]:
The project is located in a water-bearing formation with abundant groundwater, which puts higher requirements on the anti-leakage performance of the drilling rig. The YGX-600 drilling rig effectively prevented groundwater leakage and ensured the authenticity and accuracy of core samples.
The Client Project Leader Highly Praised the Excellent Performance of the YGX-600 Fully Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig:
“Since using the YG Machinery fully hydraulic core drilling rig, our exploration efficiency has been significantly improved. This drilling rig is powerful, easy to operate, and highly adaptable, and can cope with various complex geological conditions. More importantly, it is highly intelligent and very easy to maintain, which greatly reduces our downtime and significantly improves efficiency! We are very satisfied with the performance of this drilling rig, and YG Machinery is a trustworthy partner!”
