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.
