Case Study 1: How the USA Mining Exploration Company Improved Drilling Efficiency with a Full Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig
I. Customer Background: A Professional Exploration Company Serving the USA Mining Market
A mining exploration company from the United States contacted us to find a more efficient drilling solution for its growing exploration projects. The company has been operating in the North American mining market for more than 15 years and focuses on mineral exploration, geological investigation, and resource evaluation. The company has around 80 employees, including geological engineers, drilling operators, and project managers. Before purchasing new equipment, the customer was using traditional drilling machines. Although these machines could complete basic drilling work, they could no longer meet the requirements of deeper exploration projects. After comparing different suppliers, the customer began searching for a reliable hydraulic core drilling rig and finally contacted YG for a customized drilling solution.
II. Customer Challenge: Slow Drilling Speed and High Operating Costs Became Major Problems
Before purchasing the new equipment, the U.S. customer faced several challenges during daily operations.
- Low Drilling Efficiency in Hard Rock Areas. The company’s previous drilling equipment had problems such as slow drilling speed in hard rock, frequent machine adjustments, low daily drilling depth, and long project completion time. For some exploration areas, operators could only complete around 35-40 meters of drilling per day. This directly affected project schedules and increased labor costs.
- High Maintenance Frequency. The old equipment required frequent maintenance, such as mechanical transmission failures, excessive wear of components, hydraulic system instability, and long downtime for repairs. Every equipment shutdown affected the customer’s project progress.
- Difficulty Obtaining High-Quality Core Samples. For mining exploration, sample quality is extremely important. The customer found that traditional equipment sometimes produced broken core samples, incomplete rock structures, and lower recovery rates. This created difficulties for geological analysis.
III. YG Solution: Customized Full Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig for Complex Exploration Projects
After understanding the customer’s requirements, we recommended a full hydraulic core drilling rig designed for geological exploration and mining applications.
The solution included:
- Advanced Hydraulic Power System. The selected full hydraulic core drilling rig uses a hydraulic control system to provide stable drilling power.
- Improved Core Sampling Performance. The equipment was equipped with professional core drilling tools. This helped the customer achieve more complete rock samples, a higher sample recovery rate, and better geological analysis results
- Operator Training and Technical Support. To ensure smooth operation, we provided online operation guidance, equipment maintenance instructions, drilling parameter recommendations, and spare parts support. The customer’s operators quickly learned how to use the machine efficiently.
IV. Project Results: Faster Drilling, Lower Costs, Better Exploration Results
After using the new equipment, the customer achieved significant improvements.
1. Drilling Speed Increased by 45%
| Before Using YG Full Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig | After Using YG Full Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig |
| Average drilling depth: 35-40 meters/day | Average drilling depth: 55-60 meters/day |
The project efficiency improved by approximately 45%.
2. Project Completion Time Reduced by 18 Days
The original exploration plan required about 90 days.
With improved drilling efficiency:
- The project was completed in approximately 72 days
- Delivery of exploration results was shortened by 18 days
This allowed the customer to start the next mining evaluation phase earlier.
3. Operating Cost Reduced by 25%
Because of:
- Less downtime
- Reduced maintenance frequency
- Higher drilling output
The customer reduced overall drilling costs by around 25%.
4. Core Sample Recovery Rate Improved
The customer reported that sample quality improved significantly.
The recovery rate increased from approximately 82% to more than 95%.
This provided more reliable geological information for future mining decisions.
V. Customer Feedback: “This Machine Changed Our Exploration Efficiency”
After several months of operation, the U.S. customer shared:
“The full hydraulic core drilling rig has greatly improved our exploration efficiency. The machine is powerful, stable, and easier to operate than our previous equipment. The drilling speed increased significantly, and the core samples are much better.”
The customer also mentioned that technical support during the project was very helpful, especially when adjusting drilling parameters for different geological conditions.
