⚙️ Working Principle

The TRD-400 integrates mechanical top-drive technology with dual circulation systems. For water drilling, mud pumps deliver high-viscosity fluid to stabilize boreholes and remove cuttings; for air drilling, a high-pressure air compressor supplies air flow to drive a DTH hammer, producing percussive impact for rapid penetration in hard formations. The AMT transmission seamlessly adjusts rotary speed and torque to match lithology, while the independent feed system ensures precise weight-on-bit. This dual-use capability enables operators to switch between mud rotary and air DTH without downtime, maximizing efficiency in complex strata (clay, boulders, hard rock).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What are the maximum drilling depths with different methods?
Based on TRD-400 specifications: mud drilling up to 700m, pneumatic (air) drilling up to 400m, and NQ wireline coring up to 800m. Depths may vary with geological conditions.
Can the rig efficiently drill in both soft overburden and hard rock?
Yes. The water-air dual-use design allows mud circulation for unconsolidated layers and DTH hammer with compressed air for fractured or hard rock. This solves typical clay layer difficulties with air drilling and low penetration in boulders with mud drilling.
What torque and speed range does the power head deliver?
The power head provides rotary speed from 110 to 900 r/min and max torque up to 12,000 N·m, ensuring high performance for both shallow large-diameter holes and deep exploration.
What air compressor is recommended for pneumatic drilling?
The matching air compressor should supply total air consumption of 16–35 m³/min with working pressure between 10.5–24.6 bar to achieve optimal DTH impact and cuttings removal.
Does the drilling rig have automatic breakout capabilities?
Yes, the TRD-400 is equipped with an auxiliary breakout cylinder at the front to easily loosen drill rod connections, greatly reducing manual labor.
What are transport dimensions and weight?
Transport dimensions: 6300×2000×2650mm, weight: 9000kg, designed for standard flatbed shipping and on-site mobility with telescopic outriggers.
