Premium Drilling Solution
TRD-350 Top-drive Rotary-Percussive Water-Air Dual-Use Drill Rig
⚡ TRD-350 — Integrated mechanical top-drive drilling rig for both water (mud) and air (DTH hammer) operations.
Overcomes low efficiency in hard rock / boulder formations with mud drilling and solves soil-layer DTH difficulties.
Ideal for water wells, geological exploration, and wireline coring (NQ up to 600m).

⚙️ Working Principle
Top-drive rotary percussive action – The TRD-350 utilizes a mechanical top-drive power head that delivers variable rotary speed (27–901 r/min) and high torque up to 10,500 N·m. Hydraulic thrust (85 kN) forces the drill string into formation, while the dual-purpose design enables either mud drilling (slurry circulation for chip removal in unconsolidated/rock layers) or air DTH hammer drilling (high-frequency percussive impact for hard rock, gravel, boulders).
For air drilling, compressed air (10.5–24.6 bar, 16–35 m³/min) drives the DTH hammer, delivering powerful blows to break rock. For water well or coring operations, mud circulation stabilizes the borehole and removes cuttings. The combination of hydraulic feed, variable speed, and dual circulation ensures rapid penetration across all formations (F6–20 hardness) and up to 600m NQ wireline coring depth.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
🔸 What is the maximum drilling diameter and depth with mud drilling?
Based on TRD-350 specifications, maximum hole diameter reaches 350 mm. For mud drilling (water well / exploration), maximum depth is 530 meters; for pneumatic (air) DTH drilling max depth is 350 meters, and NQ wireline coring up to 600 meters.
🔸 Which formations can the TRD-350 handle efficiently?
Thanks to the water-air dual-use design, it works in loose soil, hard rock, gravel, and boulder layers. The specified working formation includes loose soil and bedrock with hardness F6–F20. It solves low efficiency of pure air hammer in soil and pure mud drilling in hard rock.
🔸 What air compressor is recommended for DTH hammer drilling?
Matching air compressor requirements: total air consumption 16–35 m³/min and working air pressure 10.5–24.6 bar. This ensures optimal performance for the pneumatic drilling mode (max depth 350m).
🔸 How does the foldable auxiliary mast improve operation?
The auxiliary mast allows handling two 3m air drill rods at once (total 6m per cycle), significantly reducing rod change time and increasing air drilling efficiency — especially useful in large diameter water wells.
🔸 What is the transport weight and dimensions?
Machine weight: 6500 kg. Transport dimensions: 6300×2000×2600 mm. Equipped with hydraulic outriggers and steel crawlers, it’s road-transportable and easy to set up on site.
🚀 Technical highlight: Dual oil pump flow combining/splitting tech + automotive gearbox delivers fast power head cycling, while the 0–10500 N·m torque covers large-diameter drilling.
