Maintenance of Core Drilling Equipment

Maintenance of Core Drilling Equipment

Proper maintenance of core drilling equipment ensures both efficiency and longevity, reducing operational downtime and costs.

Why Maintenance Matters

1. Longevity: Extends the life of expensive equipment.

2. Efficiency: Ensures consistent performance and accurate results.

3. Safety: Reduces risks associated with equipment failure during operations.

Essential Maintenance Practices

1. Daily Inspections:

• Check for wear and tear in components like mud pumps and drill bits.

• Inspect connections in rigs such as the exploration and coring machine.

2. Lubrication:

• Apply lubricants to moving parts of portable full-hydraulic core drilling rigs to minimize friction.

3. Cleaning:

• Remove debris from tools, especially in the mud pump core drilling rig, to prevent blockages.

Advanced Maintenance Tips

• Use diagnostic tools to monitor the performance of hydraulic systems.

• Schedule professional servicing annually for high-usage rigs like exploration coring drill rigs.
