How to Clean a Crawler Water Well Drilling Rig

Crawler Drilling Rigs will be contaminated with a lot of dirt, oil and other impurities during the construction process, which will affect the performance of the equipment, shorten its service life, and even lead to malfunctions if not cleaned in time. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the crawler rig regularly.

Cleaning steps

Shutdown inspection:

Make sure the drilling rig is completely shut down and cut off the power supply.
Check the surrounding environment to ensure safety.

Cooling system cleaning:

Shut down the cooling water circulation system and drain the cooling water.
Check for coolant leaks and deal with them promptly.
Clean the cooler to remove scale and impurities.

Lubrication system cleanup:

Check each lubrication point and wipe it clean.
Replace the lubricating oil and make sure the lubricating oil is clean.
Check oil pipes and oil seals for leaks.

Hydraulic System Cleanup:

Check the hydraulic oil level and replenish it to the specified position.
Clean the hydraulic oil tank and replace the filter element.
Check the hydraulic pipeline for breakage and oil leakage.

Transmission system cleaning:

Remove mud and debris from the tracks.
Check the track tension and adjust it.
Check the chain and gears for wear and replace them in time.

Drilling tools cleaning:

Clean soil and rock chips from drill bit and drill pipe.
Check the drill bit for wear and replace it in time.

Machine body cleaning:

Use high-pressure water gun or cleaning agent to flush the body of the drilling rig to remove soil and oil.

Check the body for breakage and repair.

Cleaning Precautions

Safety first: During the cleaning process, always pay attention to safety and wear protective gloves and glasses.
Thorough cleaning: Clean the machine thoroughly and do not leave any dirt behind.
Focus on the hydraulic system, transmission system and other important parts to focus on cleaning.
Regular maintenance: Cleaning should be carried out regularly and records should be kept.

Cleaning frequency

The frequency of cleaning depends on the frequency of use of the rig and the working environment. Generally speaking, simple cleaning should be carried out at the end of each day's operation, and thorough cleaning should be carried out once a week.

Other Precautions

Winter Maintenance: After winter construction, the ice and snow on the rig should be cleaned in time to prevent freezing and damaging the parts.
Special environment: When working in saline or corrosive environment, cleaning frequency should be increased and anti-corrosive agent should be used.

Summarize.

Cleaning and maintenance of the crawler rig is an important part to ensure its normal operation and prolong its service life. Through regular and thorough cleaning, it can effectively reduce the occurrence of failures and improve work efficiency.
