6 Steps to Choose an Ideal Water Well Drilling Rig

What is a Water Drilling Rig?

Water rig is a machine for drilling water, a well rig that uses to create holes in the surface of the earth and which can be applied to drill water wells, oil wells or other purposes. Water plays an important role in human survival, man could not live without water, since most parts of the earth have been explored, water well drilling is becoming the number one issue of human beings. If you want to drill a water well for drinking water, you would need well drilling tools, a well drilling rig is one kind of them. Why just mentioned water well drilling rig here? Because a water drilling rig can use shortest time to maximize your interests. Water well drilling machine is an ideal machine for drilling water for human by now. So when it comes to the question that how to choose an ideal water well rig, there are six steps that can help you.

Step One Determining the Budget and Parameter of your Water Well Drilling Machine

Choosing a water drilling machine that suits you best is firstly determined by the drilling diameter of a well drilling equipment. As we all know, drilling diameter of the well drilling machine varies from 100mm to 400mm which suitable for different areas, for instance, when you want to drill water wells in your backyard, then a water well machine of 100mm or 200mm will perfectly meet your demands, when you want to drill wells in fields for your projects, then a water drilling machine of big open hole diameter will satisfy your requirements. The another important element of choosing an ideal well drilling machine is the drilling depth, as having mentioned above, drill a water well for drinking water in your backyard, a water well equipment of 130 drilling depth is fine enough, drill water wells for your business projects, then you would need to consider some other elements, such as, the soil conditions. When drilling wells in soft soil, an ordinary well boring equipment is well enough, when drilling water wells in rock layer conditions, you have to pay more attention to not only the drilling depth but also the water rig&#;s matching power unit, its engine parameter and so on. Last but not least, your budget of buy a water drilling rig. Using the most affordable price to buy a most cost-effective water well boring machine.

As one of the most preeminent water well drilling rigs manufacturers, we RUNBAY Machinery, China offers you two types of water well machine, a water rig machine that possess mud pump or an air compressor. For example, a water drilling equipment of 130m-200m drilling depth and a 220mm-325mm drilling diameters that possesses a mud pump, and a water drilling rig machine of 80mm-350mm drilling diameters and a 130m-700m drilling depth that is air operated. Here is a chart that compares these two kinds of water drilling machine.

Step Three Choosing a Suitable Air Compressor

I presume the first question that appears in your mind is, what is an air compressor? A good question, I should say. First, explain the air compressor from a professional aspect. Air compressor is the main body of air supply device, changes the mechanical energy of prime motor, usually electric motor, to a device of gas pressure energy. It is a pressure generating equipment that can compress air. For example, a drilling rig of 400 meters&#; drilling depth which is equipped with a 25MPa air compressor, you need to spend 5 hours to drill a 280 meters deep hole in hard rock layers, compares to a drilling rig of 320m-350m&#; drilling depth which is equipped with a 30MPa air compressor, you only need 3 hours drill a 280m deep hole in hard rock layers. Air compressor is one of the most important elements of determining the drill speed and drill efficiency. That&#;s why you have to take the air compressor into consideration, choose the most suited air compressor to fit your water well equipment. Secondly, if you want to get more information about air compressor, please visit the website runbaydrilingrig.com, more detailed description about air compressor is available. And we Runbay Machinery, China, aims to offer you best service, selling machine is not our only purpose, your satisfaction is our forward momentum. Contact us now, a professional complete set of collocation of water well machine you will gained.

Step Four Price Comparing

Saving Money for Your Well Drilling Equipment

There do not exist the cheapest price of a product, but you can choose the price. The choice is yours. Choosing a water well drilling equipment is different from buying other products, such as, clothes, perfume, shoes, etc.. They are consumables, but water well drilling machine is not, you can use a water drilling equipment for 5 years, and even more. Supposing you spend the dollars to buy the same product, the difference is one is equipped with drill tools but total cost might be dollars and the other is not, but remains the original price. When it comes to the working life, the latter one can service 2 years, and the former one can be 5-6 years, which one is more cost-effective? When you choose your water rig machine, choose the more cost-effective one, that is, spending the most affordable money to gain the maximum interests. Runbay water well rig manufacturer is mainly focus its service on the most cost-effective drilling machines, choose us, spending your money in a more reasonable way. The more suited plans we offer, the less unwanted money you spend. Contact us at :  : +

Step Five &#;How do I know that water well equipment suppliers are good ones?&#;

Compare Qualities and Detailed Parameters

Quality is the first vital element you need to consider. Nobody wants to buy a drilling rig that can use only for several months. You have to consider the price and its quality equally. It is meaningless to take only the price into consideration. If you want to make the water well drilling equipment a money maker, you have to make sure that it has the reasonable price to match its working performance. For we Runbay Machinery, China, quality is our water drilling rig machine&#; life, and customers&#; affirmation is Runbay&#;s momentum.

When comparing detailed parameters, lots of people tend to focus on the size of the engine. They might think that the bigger the engine is, the greater the drilling equipment is, sounds great, but the truth is, no. Why would you think of that? A drilling machine possesses bigger engine would be a bigger oil-consumer, which is, it costs 30% oil more than a small engine of like products. The power of a water well drilling rig is not depend on the power of engine, but depend on the hydraulic pressure system. A small power engine equipped with a reasonable proportion distribution hydraulic system can perfectly drill a 400m deep hole. The another one is the choice of an air compressor, it has been mentioned in Step Three.

Water Well Machine&#;s Construction

Do not choose the drilling machine that applies unknown oil pump system, because its high powered engine and high horse power may easily lead to petrol-guzzling which costs too much, and also it has no quality assurance. Meanwhile, do not choose the drilling rig that has thin hydraulic legs, because it is difficult to steady the machine, and the whole drilling machine seems weaker. As one of the most reliable water well drilling equipment suppliers in China, we Runbay Machinery aims to be the leading figure in water well drilling rig suppliers, our drilling machine adopts world famous oil pump system, small engine, low fuel consumption but high efficiency, massive hydraulic legs, that is, much easier to steady the machine body, and of course the drilling rig is stronger.
