company news about Latest electric control rotary drilling rig with CAT chassis increases fuel efficiency by 30%┃ Tysim rotary drilling rig KR360C with CAT chassis performed remarkably in the Yuantong Headquarter project located in Shishi, Quanzhou

Recently, the latest Tysim KR360C fully electric control rotary drilling rig with a Caterpillar chassis was used for the pile foundation construction of the Yuantong Headquarter in Shishi City, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, providing assistance to the construction project. Tysim's drilling rig, known for its fuel efficiency, high efficiency, and reliability, along with the rich experience and skilled operation of drilling rig operators from Tyhen, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tysim, received unanimous praise from on-site management, general contractors, and owners.

This construction project is for the Yuantong Smart Supply Chain Innovation Center and Fujian Headquarters in Shishi. The site covers an area of approximately 169 acres, with a total construction area of 160,000 square meters and an investment of 650 million Yuan. The project includes the construction of a science and technology innovation complex, smart logistics center, business management center, cloud warehouse center, and supporting facilities. Once completed, it will further enhance the logistics transfer and distribution functions of Fujian, and promote the high-quality development of the local economy.

The on-site construction involves piles with a diameter of 1 meter and a depth of 31 meters. The geological conditions on site are complex, with backfill soil at a depth of 1-9 meters, oblique rock (with granite composition) at 9-16 meters, sandstone at 16-23 meters, and granite at 23-31 meters. These conditions make the construction process difficult. However, Tyhen Foundation, a wholly-owned rental company of Tysim, has provided a professional construction plan according to the actual conditions on site. In addition, skilled operators with over 5 years of experience have overcome various construction difficulties to meet the design requirements of the pile foundation and ensure the efficiency of the construction process. The customers on site are very satisfied with the stability, fuel consumption, and overall construction progress of the KR360C.

Advantages of the Tysim fully electric control rotary drilling rig KR360C:

• Fuel efficiency has been increased by over 30%. The hydraulic main pump uses an independent electronically controlled pump, which achieves advanced engine/hydraulic power management, improves operational performance, and enhances fuel efficiency. The serial dual-pump design eliminates the gear loss of the previous parallel design.
• Maintenance costs can be reduced by 20%. The maintenance cycle is extended, the amount of hydraulic oil required is reduced, and the pilot hydraulic oil filter is no longer needed. A magnetic filter replaces the shell drain filter, and the new air filter has a stronger ability to retain dust. The rig has excellent parts compatibility.
• The engine can be started with one button. The advanced Acert series electronic injection diesel engine incorporates Advanced Combustion Emissions Reduction Technology (ACERT) to meet the European III emission standard.
• The smart electronic fan saves 3% fuel. Each fan is independently controlled, and has reverse and cleaning functions for the radiator according to its oil temperature.
• The power head adopts both a standard mode and a powerful rock entry mode, which increases the construction efficiency of the drilling rig.
• The rear-mounted single-rope main winch, double reducer driving, and single-layer wire rope maximizes the service life of the wire rope and provides a stronger lifting capacity.
• The rear sliding pulley design improves the service life of the main winch wire rope.
• The powerful slewing braking performance ensures construction stability and safety in extreme drilling conditions and maintains the verticality of the pile.
• The rig features a new generation of ergonomically designed ROPS cab, which enhances operator comfort and safety.

Construction Case

In August 2021, the Tysim KR360C fully electric control rotary drilling rig on a Caterpillar chassis was involved in the construction of the inpatient complex building of Chibi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Hubei province. The geological conditions at the construction site were quite complex, making construction very difficult. The average depth of the pile, which had a diameter of 800mm, was 28 meters, and after drilling 3 meters down, it encountered limestone caves. On average, it took three and a half hours to form one pile. The construction was carried out for 16 hours each day, and the total fuel consumption per 16 hours was 420 liters. Despite the challenging conditions, the equipment was able to successfully complete the pile foundation construction, and it was stable, reliable, and fuel-efficient during the operation. This helped to reduce the construction cost and shorten the construction period, and the customer was extremely satisfied with the results.

Tysim has always viewed technological innovation as a powerful driving force for the company's development. During the product development process, Tysim has been considering how to "stand on the shoulders of giants and see farther". As a result, there have been several deep collaborations between Tysim and Caterpillar, and both the small and medium-sized rotary drilling rigs and the low headroom rotary drilling rigs of Caterpillar models are classic products of this collaboration. It is worth mentioning that both Caterpillar and Tysim are exemplars of the construction machinery industry in pursuing outstanding quality and sustainable development. The deep cooperation between the two major brands has brought many surprises to Tysim's customers. Tysim's custom-made rotary drilling rig with a Caterpillar chassis will also create higher value for customers with its numerous exceptional advantages.
