Description
Introduction

The 20000N is a powerful V+earth auger – a hydraulic spiral drilling attachment designed for 15–22 ton excavators. Unlike mechanical augers that require separate power sources, this unit taps directly into the excavator’s hydraulic system, delivering high torque and variable speed for efficient hole drilling in soil, clay, sand, and soft rock (hardness ≤10 MPa). With high efficiency drilling performance, the 20000N achieves a torque range of 16,500–20,500 N·m and adjustable speed from 23–55 rpm, enabling rapid penetration and fast cycle times. It serves as an excellent PV pile dedicated drilling unit for solar farm mounting piles, as well as for power transmission poles, foundation anchor holes, and geological exploration. The compact structure confined spaces design allows operation in tight locations – between existing solar panel rows, inside substations, or along narrow roads. Its hydraulic drive ensures low noise eco friendly operation, making it suitable for residential areas, wildlife‑sensitive sites, and night work. With a drilling diameter range of 300–1300 mm (using PA drill pipe) and optional depths up to 20 m, the 20000N is the go‑to solution for contractors across Southeast Asia, India, and Russia who need fast, clean, and cost‑effective hole drilling.

Why 20000N for Southeast Asia, India & Russia
Southeast Asia (solar farms, power distribution, soft soil)
  • High efficiency drilling performance quickly penetrates the soft clay and sandy soils common in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Fast cycle times allow a single excavator to drill hundreds of PV pile holes per day.

  • PV pile dedicated drilling unit aligns perfectly with the region’s booming solar energy sector – from floating solar in Vietnam to ground‑mount systems in the Philippines.

  • Low noise eco friendly operation is essential for projects near villages, resorts, or wildlife reserves (e.g., solar farms adjacent to ecotourism areas).

  • Compact structure confined spaces enables drilling on narrow terraces or between existing trees without clearing wide access roads.

India (mega solar parks, transmission towers, foundation drilling)
  • V+earth auger reduces dependency on truck‑mounted drills, which often struggle with soft, waterlogged soil in solar parks (e.g., Bhadla, Pavagada). Excavator‑mounted augers can move easily between rows.

  • High efficiency drilling performance handles mixed ground – from loose alluvium in the north to laterite in the south. The 20,500 N·m torque overcomes shallow rock layers without stalling.

  • PV pile dedicated drilling unit supports the government’s target of 500 GW renewable capacity by 2030. Drilling for module mounting piles becomes faster and more uniform.

  • Low noise eco friendly operation helps contractors comply with state pollution control board norms, avoiding fines and work stoppages.

Russia (permafrost exploration, utility poles, remote infrastructure)
  • Compact structure confined spaces is critical when drilling near existing pipelines, railway embankments, or inside substations where space is limited.

  • High efficiency drilling performance with low‑temperature hydraulic fluid operates reliably down to -20°C (with optional cold‑weather package). The robust torque breaks through frozen active layers.

  • PV pile dedicated drilling unit supports the growing solar market in southern Russia and Siberia, where permafrost requires deep, straight holes for ground screws.

  • Low noise eco friendly operation benefits drilling near installations, residential areas, or nature reserves where noise restrictions are strict.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: What is a V+earth auger?
A: A V+earth auger is a hydraulic spiral drilling attachment that connects to the excavator’s auxiliary circuit. The excavator’s hydraulic power drives the auger rotation, while the excavator’s arm provides downforce and positioning. It is used for drilling holes in soil, clay, sand, and soft rock for piles, poles, foundations, and tree planting.
Q2: What makes the 20000N a PV pile dedicated drilling unit?
A: The 20000N’s torque range (16,500–20,500 N·m) and diameter range (300–1300 mm with PA pipe) match exactly the requirements for most photovoltaic mounting piles (typically 300–600 mm diameter, 1.5–3 m depth). Combined with the ability to add auger extensions for deeper holes, it is optimized for solar farm row drilling – fast, repeatable, and precise.
Q3: How does high efficiency drilling performance translate to job site productivity?
A: The combination of high torque (20,500 N·m) and adjustable speed (23–55 rpm) allows the auger to spin fast in loose soils and slow with high torque in dense layers. This reduces cycle time per hole by up to 40% compared to standard augers. For a 10 MW solar farm requiring 20,000 pile holes, this can save weeks of work.
Q4: Can the 20000N work in confined spaces?
A: Absolutely. The compact structure confined spaces design means the auger head itself is only 460 mm in diameter and 1278 mm long. When mounted on an excavator, you can position the hole right next to an existing structure (e.g., a building foundation, an existing pile, or a fence line) that a larger drill rig could not access. The excavator’s boom swing also helps.
Q5: What about noise – is it really low noise eco friendly operation?
A: Yes. The 20000N is hydraulically driven, not diesel‑engine driven. The only noise comes from the excavator’s engine (which is already sound‑insulated) and the hydraulic motor. Typical sound levels are 75–85 dB at the operator’s ear – much quieter than a truck‑mounted diesel auger (95–105 dB). This allows work near hospitals, schools, and residential zones during normal hours.
Q6: What types of soil can it handle?
A: The V+earth auger can drill in soils with hardness up to 10 MPa – that includes clay, silt, sand, gravelly soil, weathered shale, and soft limestone. For harder rock, you may need a rock auger bit or a larger model. Different drill bit types (standard, heavy‑duty, rock) are available for varying conditions.
Q7: How do I change the drilling diameter?
A: The 20000N uses a quick change system for drill pipes. The PA drill pipe accepts auger bits from 300 mm to 1300 mm diameter. You simply remove the bolt, swap the bit, and reinstall. For larger diameters (up to 2000 mm), you would need a larger model or the PA drill pipe with specialized bits. The catalog shows PA pipe diameter range 300–2000 mm for some models.
Q8: What maintenance is required?
A: The hydraulic motor is sealed and requires no internal maintenance. Regularly check hydraulic hoses for wear, grease the output shaft bearing every 50 hours, and inspect the drill bit teeth for wear (replace when dull). All replacement parts – including wear‑resistant components shown in the catalog – are available from the manufacturer.
Q9: Can this be used for applications other than PV piles?
A: Yes. The high efficiency drilling performance makes it suitable for:
  • Power transmission pole holes (300–600 mm diameter)

  • Foundation anchor holes for telecom towers

  • Geological exploration and soil sampling

  • Tree planting holes for orchards or landscaping

  • Fence post holes on farms

  • Mini‑piles for retaining walls

Q10: What excavator brands are compatible?
A: The 20000N works with any 15–22 ton excavator that provides 60–170 L/min hydraulic flow at 8–24 MPa. This includes Komatsu PC150‑200, Hitachi ZX160‑210, Sany SY155‑215, and many others. An adapter bracket may be required for non‑standard quick couplers.
