Line drilling is really similar to other drilling methods. However, it needs to be more precise since it will help create an area for blasting. This helps in the quick way of drilling the required holes in rocky areas.
Some of the line drilling types include:
diamond-crowned bits
It is mainly used in hard areas. The diamond-crowned bits offer a smooth finishing to the hole and at the same time, assure you of good longevity.
carbide-tipped bits
The tough and resilient carbide-tipped bits come in handy in the medium-soft areas. Its toughness allows it to be used in areas that are moody to wear out.
spher Bit
The spher bit is an ideal choice for hard and irregular rock surfaces. Since it has a rounded shape, it reduces the impact on the bit while increasing its durability.
button Bit
The button bit is applied in hard rock formations and is designed for effective penetration. Its buttons aid line drilling holes quicker through tough materials.
quarrying
Line drilling is widely used in quarrying to create a series of holes for blasting. Companies use vertical line drilling to fracture rock along a predetermined plane of weakness.
underground mining
In underground mining, line drilling is used to develop tunnels and shafts. Horizontal and vertical line drilling creates controlled blasts to safely remove material.
construction projects
On construction sites, line drilling aids in the excavation of foundations and other large-scale earth-moving activities. It allows for the efficient removal of large rock masses that may be encountered during excavation.
geotechnical engineering
Line drilling assists in the study of sub-surface conditions by creating drill holes for sample collection. It enables engineers to obtain rock cores used in analyzing the integrity of the ground for future construction projects.
oil and gas exploration
Within the exploration of oil and gas, line drilling creates pathways through rocky formations for the detonation of controlled blasts. This helps in drilling long parallel holes to reach deposits safely.
demolition work
Line drilling is key to the predetermined fractures in controlled demolition. It helps to weaken the structure along intended lines of collapse, making the explosion safer and more effective.
rock type
Buyers should ensure they consider the type of rock that will be primarily drilled since this can have an effect on the drilling bit, which can either be a carbide bit, diamond, spher, or button bit, based on the hardness or softness of the rock. In the case of difficult or extremely hard formations, a client will need a long-lasting diamond bit. If the formation is moderate, a carbide-tipped bit could do the work.
hole diameter
Every client will need to choose line drilling equipment based on the required hole diameter for any given project. Most diamond and carbide drills can easily accommodate small to medium hole diameters. A large or bigger project will require a drill that supports larger bit sizes.
rotary power
Buyers should keep in mind that stronger rock formations will require extra rotational power in order to drill effectively. Always ensure that the required level of torque is achieved by the drill since it will help avoid stalling when drilling harder rocks.
depth capability
Clients need to ensure that the drill they choose has a sufficient depth capability to go as deep as required by the project. Ensure to always check the manufacturer's specifications so as to understand the maximum depth that can be achieved by that particular column drill.
drilling fluid
The type of drilling fluid a user is planning on using for the long drill holes can affect the performance of the drill. Some fluids boost lubrication and cooling, which can help reduce wear on the drill. On the other hand, other fluid types assist in removing debris and particles from the drill site. Buyers also need to pay attention to the compatibility of their drill with a certain drilling fluid.
mobile vs. stationary
Mobile column drills can easily be transported to different sites, which makes them ideal for projects that will not need to be very fixed. A rig that is stationary is suited for long-term drilling projects that will not need to be transported from one site to another.
Good maintenance of line drill machines will help clients increase the longevity of the drills as well as the efficiency in operation. Here are some maintenance and repair tips for line drills:
daily checkups
Daily inspections should focus on visible wear and tear on bits, pulleys, and other important components. Look for cracks, bent parts, or general deterioration. Every user should ensure they power the machine down first before conducting the checks to avoid any accidents.
cooling system
The line drill machines use water and other cooling systems to reduce the effect of heat on the drilling bits and machines. Users should ensure that they always check the level and the state of the water or any other fluid used for cooling to ensure it is clean and sufficient. Always replace stale or dirty cooling fluid before starting work. Any good line drill business will have enough time set aside just to check the state of the machines to avoid breakdowns.
bit maintenance
Much like line drill machines, bits also require a lot of maintenance generally. Users should ensure they keep their bits clean after every use. Line bit manufacturers encourage users to inspect the bit for any signs of damage, such as chipping or dulling. A worn-out drill bit will not drill efficiently and can damage the machine. Whenever a user sees any sign of a drill bit wearing out, they should replace it.
lubrication
Common areas of lubrication are bearings, pulleys, and gears. The most commonly used lubricating oil is lithium grease, which should be rubbed on the moving parts to reduce friction. Machines that have higher usage frequency should be lubricated more often.
check electrical equipment
Users should ensure that they are always checking electrical components, such as power cords, to ensure they are working effectively. Electrical maintenance also checks switches or any other electrical part that may be faulty replaced by a new one. After every 200 hours of usage, electrical devices conduct a more in-depth inspection of electrical parts to avoid any malfunction.
check alignment
Any alignment misalignment will lead to greater wear out and less efficiency. For this reason, friction and rotor inlets should be aligned more frequently, especially those that have high usage. Every 200 hours of usage is enough time to perform a full alignment check. Any misaligned part should be adjusted, and mechanics probably have to do this.
replace worn components
The line drill replacement schedule will be based on the usage frequency of that component. Replace items that have visibly worn out. But users should also have a standard replacement for items that have not worn out but reached maximum usage.
A1. Line drilling is a controlled method used to create long, straight holes in rock or other materials. It is mainly applied in quarrying, mining, and civil engineering to facilitate blasting operations.
A2. The main difference between core drilling and line drilling is that core drilling is used to extract cylindrical rock samples for analysis while line drilling is focused on creating holes for blasting without retrieving a core sample.
A3. Line drilling creates a series of holes that weaken the rock structure. This makes blasting more effective and controlled, allowing safer and easier extraction of minerals in mining operations.
A4. Diamond bit drills are widely preferred for line drilling in difficult, hard rock formations, as they provide precise and efficient drilling with minimal wear.
