Product: YDX-200 Fully Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig
We are proud to announce that YG Machinery has successfully exported and commissioned a YG 200 Fully Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig for a mineral exploration project in Colombia. The equipment has already been deployed in a remote copper and gold prospecting site in the Andean region near Medellín, where it is performing efficiently under challenging geological conditions.
This marks another successful international delivery of our advanced core drilling technology, reinforcing YG's presence in the South American mining and exploration market.
Working Case: YDX-200 hydraulic core drilling machine in Action – Colombia Mineral Exploration
✅ Client Background:
A Colombian geological exploration company focused on copper, gold, and rare earth mineral deposits was in search of a robust, mobile, and easy-to-operate drilling solution for high-altitude terrain in the Andes.
📌 Challenges Faced:
Difficult terrain with rocky slopes and loose soil layers
Inconsistent performance from previous drilling machines
Need for deep and accurate core sampling to assess mineral value
Limited access to high-maintenance equipment and spare parts
🔧 Solution Provided by YG Machinery:
We provided the YDX-200 Fully Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig, equipped with:
Hydraulic feeding system for enhanced drilling stability
Crawler-mounted chassis for improved mobility on uneven ground
Max drilling depth of 200 meters, suitable for mid-range mineral exploration
Easy disassembly for transport to remote sites
Custom hydraulic accessories and spare parts kit
🏗️ Deployment Results:
Successfully completed two test boreholes reaching depths of 180m and 195m respectively
Core recovery rate exceeded 95%, with clear stratigraphy for geological analysis
Operator training and commissioning completed on-site within 3 days
The rig operated continuously with zero breakdowns during the first drilling phase
🌍 Client Testimonial:
"The YDX-200 has exceeded our expectations. It's powerful, responsive, and easy to maintain. Drilling on these slopes used to be a headache-but now it's a smooth operation. We're already considering a second unit."
