How to clean a portable water well drilling rig

 Cleaning removable water well drilling rigs is an important maintenance task, which helps to prolong the life of the equipment, improve the working efficiency and ensure the drilling quality. As water well drilling rigs often work in harsh environments, they are easily contaminated with mud, rock chips, oil, etc., so they need to be cleaned regularly. The following are the steps and precautions for cleaning the removable water well drilling rig:

Preparation before cleaning:

safety first, choose a suitable cleaning site, prepare cleaning tools and materials.


Cleaning steps:

Remove large pieces of debris: Use tools such as brushes, shovels or scrapers to remove large pieces of mud, rock chips and dirt from the surface of the drilling rig.

High-pressure water rinsing: Use a high-pressure water gun or hose to thoroughly rinse the surface of the drilling rig from top to bottom.
Use cleaning agent: For heavily oiled parts, cleaning agent can be used.

Inspection and lubrication: After cleaning, carefully inspect all parts of the rig, especially the connection parts and fasteners, to make sure there is no looseness or damage. Lubricate the parts that need to be lubricated to minimize wear and tear.

Drying: Use compressed air to blow dry the moisture on the surface of the rig, especially the electrical parts and pipelines, to prevent rust and short circuit.

Cleaning of special parts:

Drill bit: The drill bit is an important part of the rig and requires special attention to cleaning. Remove the rock chips and mud on the drill bit, check whether the drill bit is worn or damaged, and replace or repair it if necessary.

Drill pipe: Clean the mud and dirt on the inner and outer walls of the drill pipe, and check whether the drill pipe is bent or cracked.

Mud pump: clean the pump body, impeller, valve and other parts of the mud pump, check whether there is wear or damage.

Hydraulic system: Clean the hydraulic oil tank, oil pipe, oil cylinder, valve and other parts, replace the hydraulic oil and filter element.

Electrical system: Use dry rags or compressed air to clean the electrical parts, avoid flushing with water.

Precautions:
Environmental protection: The sewage generated by cleaning should be properly handled and should not be discharged arbitrarily so as not to pollute the environment.
Safety: Pay attention to safety during the cleaning process to avoid personal injury and equipment damage.
Regular cleaning: According to the frequency of use and working environment of the rig, make a reasonable cleaning cycle, regular cleaning, and maintenance.

How to extend the life of drill pipe

  1. When using a new drill pipe, the drilling rig manufacturer should make sure that the wire fasteners on the front cut-off (protecting the shaft head) of the drill bit are also close to the new one. A ring-buckled rotating head can easily damage the wire fasteners of the new drill pipe, resulting in leaks, snaps, and loosening, and so on. 2. In the use of drill pipe for a drilling, should be first “grinding new buckle”, which consists of, first smeared with silk buckle oil, and then use the drill rig full torque, and then open the buckle, and then smeared with silk buckle oil and then open, and so on for three times, you can avoid the new wear and buckle. 3. As far as possible to maintain the drill pipe under the ground and on the ground in a straight line, so as to avoid part of the side of the wire buckle force and cause unwanted wear and tear, or even jump buckle, pay attention to the rig anchored to avoid the construction of the force to move is very important. 4. The buckle...

What are the Basic Maintenance Methods for Water Well Drilling Rigs

  Cleaning: After every day's operation, clean the mud, oil, and other debris on the rig in time to keep the rig clean. Checking lubrication: regularly check  the lubrication points to ensure that the lubricant is sufficient and the grease is clean. Fasteners check: you can check whether the bolts and nuts of each part are loose and tighten them in time. Hydraulic system checks: you can check whether the hydraulic oil level is normal, whether there is no leakage phenomenon, and whether the hydraulic oil is clean. Lubrication system maintenance: regular replacement of lubricating oil, grease, cleaning oil filter, and oil tank. Hydraulic system maintenance: regular replacement of hydraulic oil, cleaning hydraulic filter. Cooling system maintenance: clean the radiator, and check the coolant level. Transmission system maintenance: check the tightness of the transmission belt, and replace the worn transmission belt. Electrical system maintenance: check whether the line is firm...

Use and maintenance of drill bits

Use and maintenance of drill bits: 1. Choose a suitable drill bit:  Before using a drill bit, it is necessary to select the appropriate type and specification of drill bit based on drilling conditions and needs. 2. Installing the drill bit:  When installing the drill bit, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the drill bit and the drill pipe is firm, and to correctly install the cutting teeth of the drill bit. 3. Maintain appropriate drilling speed and pressure during the drilling process:  Excessive drilling speed and pressure can lead to premature wear and damage of the drill bit, while too small can affect drilling efficiency. 4. Regular inspection and maintenance:  Regularly check the wear of the drill bit and replace severely worn components in a timely manner. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean and lubricate the drill bit to extend its service life. 5. Storage and preservation:  When storing and preserving drill bits, it i...
