Frequently Asked Questions
What is the actual drilling depth capacity of the TWD400?
The TWD400 has a maximum rated drilling depth of 400 meters under optimal conditions. Actual achievable depth depends on formation characteristics.
| Formation Type |
Achievable Depth |
| Soft formations (clay, sand, gravel) |
300 - 400 m |
| Medium-hard rock |
200 - 300 m |
| Hard rock formations |
150 - 250 m |
How do I choose between DTH hammer drilling and mud drilling?
Selection depends on formation type and project requirements.
Mud Drilling – Best for:
- Clay, silt, sand, and gravel formations
- Unconsolidated and soft formations
- Situations requiring excellent borehole wall stability
DTH Hammer Drilling – Best for:
- Medium-hard to hard rock formations
- Faster penetration rates required (up to 10x faster than mud drilling)
- Formations where mud circulation is difficult
Dual-Mode Advantage: The TWD400 can switch between methods during a single project as formations change, providing maximum flexibility.
How many operators are needed to run the TWD400?
The TWD400's centralized hydraulic control system enables single-operator drilling, significantly reducing labor costs.
