1. Shallow Water Well Drilling (100–200m)
Suitable for agricultural irrigation wells, rural water supply, and small municipal projects using light DTH drilling systems.
2. Small Mining Exploration Drilling
Used in early-stage mining exploration and mineral survey drilling where compact and mobile air supply is required.
3. Quarry Auxiliary Drilling
Ideal for small quarry operations requiring sample drilling and pre-blasting auxiliary drilling in stone extraction sites.
4. Construction and Foundation Engineering
Used in anchoring, micropile drilling, slope stabilization, and light infrastructure foundation reinforcement projects.
5. Multi Pneumatic Tool Operation (YT27 / YT28 Rock Drills)
The KYLC17-18CY can support multiple handheld pneumatic rock drills such as 2–4 units of YT27 or YT28 jack hammers, depending on working conditions. This makes it highly efficient for small mining teams and construction crews requiring simultaneous drilling operations.
1. Stable 18 Bar Pressure for Light DTH Drilling
The 18 bar working pressure provides reliable impact energy for small DTH hammers, ensuring efficient drilling in soft to medium rock formations and shallow borehole projects.
2. Efficient 17m³/min Airflow for Continuous Work
With stable airflow output, the KYLC17-18CY supports small drilling rigs and pneumatic tools without pressure fluctuation, improving drilling efficiency in field operations.
3. Two-Stage Screw Compression System
The advanced oil-cooled screw air end reduces heat generation, improves energy efficiency, and extends service life, making it suitable for long-hour drilling tasks.
4. Compact Trailer-Mounted Mobility
Designed for easy transportation, the compact structure allows rapid relocation between job sites, ideal for contractors working across multiple drilling locations.
5. Reliable Diesel Power for Remote Areas
Powered by industrial diesel engines (Cummins/Yuchai options), the compressor operates independently without electricity, making it suitable for off-grid mining and rural drilling environments.
