A DTH Drilling Rig is a powerful machine used for drilling holes in hard rock. It works by using a hammer that strikes the rock at the bottom of the hole. This method is faster and more accurate than other drilling methods. DTH rigs are used in mining, construction, and water well projects. The YGS series from YG Machinery offers five models to match different job needs. Each model has a crawler track system. This helps the machine move easily over rough ground. Whether you need a small rig for tight spaces or a large one for heavy work, the YGS series has an option for you. Buy a down-the-hole drilling rig that fits your project size and budget.

The YGS100A is the lightest model at 5.95 tons. The YGS350 is the heaviest at 8 tons. Heavier models offer more power and can drill larger holes. The YGS153 has the smallest shipping size at 4640×1980×2260mm. This makes it a good choice for jobs with limited space. The YGS350 has the largest fuel tank at 225L. This allows for longer work hours without refueling. All models use diesel engines. Power output ranges from 33kw to 73.5kw. Higher power means faster drilling in tough rock.
Key Advantages of the YGS Series DTH Drilling Rig
- Crawler track system for rough terrain:The YGS series uses crawler tracks instead of wheels. This gives the DTH rock drilling rig better grip on mud, sand, and rocky ground. The machine can climb slopes and move across uneven job sites with ease. Walking speed ranges from 2.2 to 4 km/h depending on the model. This means you can move the rig quickly between drilling spots.
- Strong performance in hard rock:DTH technology places the hammer at the bottom of the hole. The impact goes directly into the rock. This method works well on granite, basalt, and other hard materials. The YGS series can drill holes from 83mm up to 165mm in diameter. This range covers most mining and construction needs.
- Easy to transport and set up:The compact design of the DTH drilling equipment makes shipping simple. The YGS153 is only 4640mm long. You can load it onto a standard truck or container. Once on site, setup is quick. The crawler system lets you start drilling right away.
- Fuel-efficient operation:Diesel engines in the YGS series are built for long working hours. The YGS350 has a 225L tank for extended shifts. Smaller models like the YGS153 use less fuel for shorter jobs. This helps you control operating costs over time.
Applications of the DTH Drilling Machine
The YGS series works in many different industries and job types.
- Mining and quarrying:Open-pit mines need blast holes for rock removal. The DTH drilling rig drills straight, accurate holes for explosives. The YGS300 and YGS350 are good choices for large mining operations. Their higher power handles deep holes in hard stone.
- Water well drilling:Rural areas often need water wells in rocky ground. The down-the-hole drilling machine can go through hard layers that other rigs cannot. The YGS100A is light enough for smaller well projects. The YGS180 offers more power for deeper wells.
- Construction and foundation work:Building foundations require pile holes and anchor holes. The YGS series drills these with precision. The highest horizontal hole height ranges from 2.8m to 3.6m. This gives you flexibility for different foundation designs.
- Geothermal drilling:Geothermal energy projects need deep, straight boreholes. The DTH rig machine reduces hole deviation. This means more accurate drilling and less wasted effort.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a DTH rig and a top hammer drill?
A: A DTH rig places the hammer at the bottom of the hole. The impact goes straight into the rock. A top hammer drill strikes from above. The DTH method gives straighter holes and works better in hard rock.
Q: How do I choose the right YGS model?
A: Think about your hole size and depth needs. The YGS153 is good for smaller holes (83-130mm) and lighter work. The YGS350 handles larger holes (90-165mm) and tougher jobs. Heavier models have more power. Ask our team for a quote based on your project.
Q: What fuel do these rigs use?
A: All YGS models run on diesel. Diesel gives you reliable power for long work hours. Tank sizes range from 70L to 225L.
Q: Can these rigs work on slopes?
A: Yes. The crawler track system gives good grip on slopes. Walking speed varies by model. The design helps the machine stay stable on uneven ground.
