Core Advantages of Deep Rock Water Drilling Rig
1. High Torque Design – Conquers Hard Rock Easily
A high-quality deep rock water drilling rig must have strong torque to penetrate hard rock. YG’s rig can provide 6200-8500 N·m swing torque, 30% higher than the industry average. This power can easily crush limestone, granite and basalt without jamming. Users report that its drilling speed is twice that of ordinary rigs in hard rock formations.
2. 300m Depth – Meets Multi-Scenario Needs
An excellent deep rock water drilling rig needs to balance depth and efficiency. YG’s model can drill up to 300 meters, covering 95% of global water well project needs. Drilling a 200-meter well only takes 1-2 days, saving a lot of time for farmers, mines and communities. There is no need to equip expensive large-scale equipment for most projects.
3. Adapts to Extreme Environments – Maximum Reliability
Remote area projects have high requirements for rig reliability. YG’s deep rock water drilling rig can work normally in temperatures ranging from -10℃ to 45℃. Verified by 500+ global users, its failure rate within 12 months is less than 1%. Dust-proof and corrosion-resistant components extend the service life to more than 10 years.
4. Easy Operation – Reduces Labor Costs
