The ZGYX421H integrated DTH blast hole drilling rig is precisely developed for surface drilling scenarios, covering multiple core application fields including mining blast hole drilling, quarry drilling, road and building construction drilling, large scale rock excavation projects and open pit bench drilling. Its versatile performance enables it to cope with diverse drilling tasks in Brazilian projects, whether it is conventional mineral blasting hole operation or precision drilling for infrastructure foundation excavation, delivering stable and efficient construction results.
Automatic Rod Changing for Higher Productivity
In modern mining and engineering construction, operational efficiency and labor cost control have become core factors that customers prioritize when selecting drilling equipment. Most traditional blast hole drilling rigs rely on manual rod disassembly and assembly, which not only consumes a large amount of human resources but also leads to long operation intervals, low continuous drilling efficiency and high operational safety risks in long term construction.
Automatic rod changing is one of the key features that makes the ZGYX421H suitable for productivity focused drilling operations. The intelligent rod changing system completely replaces manual operation, realizing fully automatic rod picking, positioning, connection and disconnection during the drilling process. This core function greatly shortens rod changing time, eliminates operation gaps caused by manual adjustment, and significantly improves the continuous drilling efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, it effectively reduces the labor intensity of on site operators, lowers the dependence on skilled workers, and reduces potential safety hazards in manual operation. For Brazilian mining projects that require long term, high intensity and continuous batch drilling operations, this automated advantage can directly help customers improve overall project progress and reduce comprehensive construction costs.
The ZGYX421H integrated DTH blast hole drilling rig adopts an all in one modular design, integrating core systems such as power output, air compression, drilling execution and walking drive.

Different from split type drilling equipment that requires multiple auxiliary devices to support operation, the ZGYX421H integrated DTH drilling rig integrates diesel power system, high pressure air compression system, precision drilling system and flexible crawler walking system into a single device. This highly integrated design eliminates the need for additional supporting equipment on the construction site, simplifies the overall site deployment, and greatly improves the equipment’s adaptability to complex mining areas and harsh construction environments. It can independently complete full process blast hole drilling operations without redundant auxiliary configuration, bringing more convenient and efficient construction solutions for Brazilian drilling projects.
Built-in Air Compressor Simplifies On-site Operation
Air supply stability is the core guarantee for efficient operation of DTH drilling rigs. Traditional DTH drilling equipment needs to be equipped with independent external air compressors, air supply pipelines and matching connection devices, which increases equipment investment cost and occupies a large amount of on site space. The ZGYX421H is equipped with a high performance built in air compressor, which can stably provide sufficient compressed air for the down the hole hammer, ensuring continuous and powerful drilling power output.
The integrated air compressor design brings multiple practical advantages for Brazilian mining and construction projects. It reduces the total number of on site equipment, saves valuable construction space, and simplifies equipment transportation and hoisting work. During project migration and site switching, the integrated drilling rig can move as a whole without disassembling and matching multiple devices, which greatly improves construction flexibility. In addition, the integrated structure reduces the connection links of air supply pipelines, lowers the failure rate of air supply system, simplifies daily equipment maintenance, and effectively improves the overall operational stability of the construction site.
Crawler-Mounted for Uneven Terrain Adaptability
Most Brazilian open pit mines and quarry construction sites feature rugged roads, uneven ground and complex terrain fluctuations. The frequent switching of drilling positions in batch blasting operations puts forward high requirements on the mobility and stability of drilling equipment. The ZGYX421H adopts a professional heavy duty crawler chassis, which is specially optimized for complex field working conditions.
The crawler structure provides strong rough terrain mobility, enabling the equipment to walk stably on gravel roads, sloped ground and uneven mine surfaces. It delivers excellent working stability on uneven ground, effectively avoiding equipment shaking and drilling deviation during operation. The flexible crawler walking system supports rapid position adjustment and short distance migration between different blast hole locations, which is very suitable for open pit mining and quarry environments that require frequent position changes. Mobility and stability are especially important when drilling operations need to move frequently between different blast hole locations, and the ZGYX421H perfectly meets this core demand of Brazilian projects.
The ZGYX421H drilling rig supports a flexible hole diameter range of 90 mm to 138 mm, which is scientifically set according to the mainstream blasting and construction standards of South American mining and engineering projects. This wide adjustable diameter range is not a simple parameter superposition, but a targeted configuration for diverse geological conditions and project construction standards in Brazil.
The 90 mm small diameter drilling mode is suitable for conventional small scale blasting operations, secondary rock breaking and fine foundation drilling projects, which can meet the precision construction demands of small unit blasting. The expanded diameter up to 138 mm adapts to large scale open pit mining, large volume rock blasting and heavy duty infrastructure excavation projects, matching the high intensity construction needs of large Brazilian mines. In actual project application, different hole diameter specifications can effectively adapt to varying rock hardness, blasting design schemes and construction process requirements.
It is worth noting that the actual drilling diameter selection needs to be comprehensively determined according to on site rock hardness, professional blasting design standards, supporting drill rod and bit configuration and specific project construction requirements. The flexible diameter adjustment capability of the ZGYX421H enables it to cope with diversified construction standards, avoiding the equipment limitation of single drilling specification and improving the universal applicability of the equipment in different Brazilian projects.
The maximum drilling depth of the ZGYX421H integrated DTH drilling rig reaches 21 m, which is precisely positioned for mainstream surface blast hole drilling scenarios. In the field of mining and engineering drilling, excessive blind pursuit of ultra deep drilling depth will lead to increased equipment energy consumption, reduced drilling accuracy and mismatched project cost. For many surface drilling applications, the right combination of drilling depth, hole diameter and penetration efficiency is more important than simply pursuing maximum drilling depth.
The 21 m effective drilling depth fully covers the conventional construction depth requirements of Brazilian open pit mining, quarrying production, road excavation and renovation, infrastructure foundation pouring and rock blasting preparation projects. It can complete one time forming drilling for conventional surface blasting holes, avoiding repeated drilling and secondary hole repair operations. For shallow and medium depth surface drilling tasks that account for the majority of South American mining projects, this depth parameter achieves a perfect balance between construction efficiency, drilling accuracy and equipment energy consumption, ensuring efficient and economical project operation.
Stable and durable power output is the basic guarantee for long term continuous operation of mining drilling equipment in harsh environments. The ZGYX421H blast hole drilling rig is equipped with a high performance Cummins diesel engine, a classic power configuration widely used in global heavy duty engineering machinery. This mature engine platform has excellent environmental adaptability and operational stability, perfectly matching the demanding working conditions of outdoor open pit mines and construction sites in Brazil.
