Product Overview

 

The KT5J Integrated Down The Hole Drill Rig For Open Use redefines operational simplicity and site independence in surface DTH drilling by combining the drill rig and its air supply into a single, fully self-contained machine. Unlike conventional DTH rigs that depend on a separate tow-behind or skid-mounted air compressor, the KT5J integrates a high-output onboard compressor directly into the machine chassis, eliminating the logistical complexity, hose management challenges, and compressor-rig coordination issues that slow down conventional two-unit drilling setups on active open-pit and quarry sites.

 

Designed for mid-range blast-hole and production drilling applications in open-pit mining, quarrying, road construction, and civil blasting, the KT5J delivers the penetration rates and hole quality of a dedicated DTH rig with the mobility, setup speed, and operational independence of a fully integrated platform. A single operator can tram the machine to a new hole position, set up, drill, and move on without waiting for a compressor unit to reposition or reconnect, making the KT5J one of the most productive machines available in its class for high-cycle, multi-position drilling programs.

 

For contractors and quarry operators who value site flexibility, reduced equipment fleet complexity, and faster mobilization between drilling zones, the KT5J represents a compelling combination of capability, self-sufficiency, and total cost of ownership.

 

Key Features & Technical Advantages

 

Fully Integrated Compressor: The Core Advantage

  • Onboard high-pressure screw compressor built into the machine chassis, delivering the air pressure and volume required to drive the DTH hammer at full rated performance without any external air supply equipment.
  • Single-machine operation: one operator, one machine, one fuel source. No compressor towing, no air hose management, no two-unit coordination. The KT5J arrives at the hole position ready to drill.
  • Faster cycle times: eliminating compressor repositioning from the drilling cycle reduces non-productive time per hole, directly increasing the number of holes completed per shift on multi-position drilling programs.
  • Reduced site congestion: a single integrated machine occupies less bench space than a rig-plus-compressor combination, improving traffic flow and safety on active quarry and open-pit benches.
  • Simplified logistics and mobilization: one machine to transport, one machine to service, one machine to insure. Mobilization to remote or access-restricted sites is significantly faster and less costly than deploying a two-unit setup.
     

Drilling Performance

  • Drill hole diameter range: 90 mm to 152 mm, covering the most common blast-hole and production-hole specifications in mid-scale open-pit and quarry operations.
  • Maximum drilling depth: up to 28 m per setup, suitable for standard bench heights used in quarry and open-pit blasting programs.
  • High-efficiency DTH hammer system transmits percussive energy directly to the drill bit at the bottom of the hole, minimizing energy loss through the drill string and maximizing penetration rate in hard rock formations.
  • Hydraulic feed system with adjustable feed force and pull-back, enabling precise bit-to-rock contact pressure control to extend drill bit service life and maintain consistent hole diameter.
  • Variable rotation speed allows the operator to optimize rotary speed for different rock hardness levels and bit types, reducing bit wear and improving hole straightness.
     

Mobility & Site Adaptability

  • Crawler undercarriage with rubber or steel track options, providing stable self-propelled mobility across quarry benches, uneven terrain, and loose ground surfaces without requiring a separate towing vehicle.
  • Compact machine footprint allows operation in confined bench areas and narrow access corridors where larger two-unit setups cannot maneuver effectively.
  • Mast angle adjustment supports vertical and inclined drilling (up to 30 degrees from vertical) for pre-split blasting, contour drilling, and angled production holes.
  • Fast tramming speed between hole positions minimizes repositioning time, a key productivity factor on drilling programs with closely spaced hole patterns.
     

Operator Comfort & Serviceability

  1. Centralized control panel with clearly labeled hydraulic and pneumatic controls, designed for single-operator use with minimal training requirements.
  2. Ground-level access to all daily service points (engine oil, compressor oil, air filter, hydraulic fluid) keeps scheduled maintenance time under 30 minutes per shift.
  3. Integrated dust suppression system (water mist, optional) for compliance with site dust emission requirements and improved hole cleanliness.
  4. Modular component layout allows field replacement of major assemblies, including the compressor unit, without requiring specialized workshop facilities.

Typical Applications

 

  • Open-pit mining: blast-hole drilling for iron ore, copper, gold, coal, limestone, and non-metallic mineral extraction at mid-scale operations where a single integrated machine improves bench efficiency.
  • Quarrying: production drilling in granite, marble, basalt, and sandstone quarries, particularly on sites with limited bench space or restricted access for large support equipment.
  • Road and highway construction: rock cutting and slope stabilization drilling on infrastructure projects where rapid mobilization and site independence are critical to schedule performance.
  • Remote and access-restricted sites: any drilling application where transporting and operating a separate compressor unit is impractical due to site access limitations, terrain constraints, or logistics costs.
  • Small to mid-scale civil blasting: site preparation for industrial facilities, residential developments, and infrastructure projects requiring controlled rock fragmentation in confined or urban-adjacent areas.
  • Hydropower and dam construction: foundation drilling and grouting-hole preparation in hard-rock environments where site access limits the use of large multi-unit equipment combinations.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What does "integrated" mean in the context of the KT5J, and why does it matter?

A: "Integrated" means the air compressor required to power the DTH hammer is built directly into the drill rig chassis as a single machine, rather than being a separate tow-behind or skid-mounted unit. This matters because conventional DTH drilling setups require two machines (the rig and the compressor) to be coordinated, repositioned, and serviced independently, adding time, cost, and complexity to every drilling cycle. The KT5J eliminates this entirely: one machine, one operator, one fuel source, and no external air supply equipment. On high-cycle drilling programs with many hole positions, this integration translates directly into more holes per shift and lower cost per meter drilled.

Q: Does the integrated compressor deliver the same performance as a standalone external compressor?

A: Yes. The onboard screw compressor is a purpose-specified industrial unit matched to the DTH hammer sizes and hole diameters the KT5J is designed to drill. It delivers 12 to 18 m3/min of free air delivery at working pressures up to 24 bar, which is fully sufficient to drive 3.5-inch to 5-inch DTH hammers at rated performance in rock up to 300 MPa UCS. For applications requiring higher air volumes or pressures (larger hammers, harder rock, or deeper holes beyond the KT5J's design envelope), a conventional rig-plus-external-compressor setup such as the KG520 series would be the appropriate choice.

Q: What hole diameters and depths can the KT5J achieve?

A: The KT5J drills hole diameters from 90 mm to 152 mm and achieves a maximum drilling depth of 28 m per setup. This covers the most common blast-hole and production-hole specifications used in mid-scale open-pit mining and quarry operations. For projects requiring larger hole diameters (above 152 mm) or greater depths (above 28 m), our KG520 or KG590 series rigs, paired with an appropriately sized external compressor, would be the recommended solution.

Q: How does the KT5J perform on steep or uneven terrain?

A: The KT5J features a crawler undercarriage rated for a maximum gradeability of 28 degrees, suitable for most quarry bench faces and open-pit ramp gradients. The mast can be adjusted for angle drilling up to 30 degrees from vertical to accommodate pre-split blasting and slope stabilization applications. The integrated machine's lower overall length compared to a rig-plus-compressor train also improves maneuverability on tight bench switchbacks and narrow access roads.

Q: What maintenance does the integrated compressor require, and does it add to overall service complexity?

A: The integrated screw compressor follows a standard industrial maintenance schedule: compressor oil and filter changes at specified hour intervals, air filter inspection and replacement, and periodic separator element service. All compressor service points are accessible from ground level alongside the engine and hydraulic service points, so the entire machine can be serviced in a single maintenance session without additional specialist equipment. Our service manuals provide a unified maintenance schedule covering both the rig and compressor systems, and our spare-parts supply covers all compressor wear items as part of the standard parts catalogue.

Q: Can the KT5J drill angle holes for pre-split blasting?

A: Yes. The mast positioning system supports drilling from vertical to 30 degrees off-vertical, covering the full range of pre-split, trim blast, and contour drilling angles used in open-pit wall control and quarry face management programs. The hydraulic mast angle adjustment is smooth and precise, and the feed force control system compensates automatically for the change in drill string weight at angle to maintain consistent penetration rates throughout the hole depth.

Q: What are the transportation and mobilization requirements for this rig?

A: With an operating weight of approximately 13,500 kg, the KT5J can be transported on a standard low-bed trailer in most markets without special permits. Because it is a single integrated machine rather than a two-unit combination, mobilization requires only one trailer, one driver, and one loading/unloading operation, significantly reducing logistics time and cost compared to deploying a conventional rig-plus-compressor setup. On-site, the rig self-trams between drilling positions at up to 2.8 km/h.

Q: What after-sales support and spare parts supply do you provide?

A: We provide comprehensive after-sales support through a dedicated international service team. Standard wear parts (drill bits, shank adapters, hammer components, compressor filters and oil, track pads, hydraulic seals) are held in stock for dispatch within 24 to 72 hours. Major structural and hydraulic components carry a lead time of 7 to 15 business days depending on destination. On-site commissioning, operator training, and periodic maintenance inspections are available as part of our service packages. Remote technical support via video call is available for urgent operational issues at any time.
