Introduction
The ZT-100/150A Heavy-Duty Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD Rig) is a heavy-duty horizontal directional drilling machine engineered for large-scale underground construction (e.g., pipeline installation, utility trenching). With industry-leading torque, pull force, and intelligent controls, it delivers reliable performance for complex drilling projects while minimizing operational costs.
Core Features & Advantages
-
Powerful & Efficient Engine
Equipped with a 264kw Dongfeng Cummins electric injection diesel engine, the ZT-100/150A Heavy-Duty Horizontal Directional Drill offers strong power, low noise, and reduced fuel consumption – critical for long-duration drilling projects.
-
Industry-Leading Performance Metrics
With 45000 N.m max torque, 1500KN pull/thrust force, and 50m/min pulling speed, it handles tough formations (e.g., rock, compacted soil) with fast, precise operation.
-
Top-Tier Hydraulic & Rotary Systems
- Hydraulic parts from international premium brands ensure reliability and efficiency.
- Closed rotary system + load-sensitive push-pull system (volume speed regulation) = high transmission efficiency, low heat generation, and energy savings.
- Low-speed, high-torque rotary motor (dual-motor three-speed design, patent-protected dynamic switching) enables on-the-fly gear adjustment to boost construction efficiency.
-
Advanced Safety & Control Systems
- Anti-rebound system for push/pull operations (prevents hydraulic component damage).
- Constant torque control (patented) for scientific reaming via preset torque values.
- Swing drilling function expands adaptability to formations with direction-change challenges.
- Shock-overload protection + active oil replenishment system reduce failure rates.
-
User-Friendly & Intelligent Operation
- German Jesman multi-function handle: One-hand control of grippers/feed/rotation; one-key shackle.
- Cruise control (restores last settings with one key) for streamlined operation.
- Danfoss CAN bus control system (7-inch display): Fast response, comprehensive host parameters, and a user-friendly interface.
-
Practical Design Enhancements
- Rotatable cabin (excellent visibility) + 3.2-ton crane (easy drill pipe loading/unloading).
- Patented drill rod thread protection system (self-floating box mechanism) reduces thread wear and extends component lifespan.
