How to Match the ZML161 to Your Project
Tunnel headings, cut slopes and mine roadways share one constraint: confined space, broken surrounding rock, with holes going horizontal, inclined or vertical rather than straight down. Does a conventional vertical drill solve that? Usually not — which is the envelope the ZML161 crawler multi-function drilling rig was engineered around. Its 360° rotating upper platform swings the drill boom without relocating the carrier, the 8000 N·m power head covers 90-300 mm holes at 20-150 m for pipe-shed, anchor-bolt and grouting work, and the 85 kN feed / 85 kN lift with a 1000 mm compensation stroke keeps the bit pressed to the tunnel face. At 10500 kg and a 7100 x 2450 mm shipping length, that is the clearance you must verify against your tunnel cross-section before ordering.
When you send a ZML161 inquiry, the configuration hinges on hole geometry rather than depth: the azimuth and inclination range of the planned bores, the pipe-shed or anchor-hole diameter and length, and the drill string you already run — 76 mm or 89 mm rods at 1.5-3.0 m. State whether the work is DTH air percussion in hard broken rock or mud rotary in gravel soil, and whether the site needs wireless control; the dual wired-handle and radio setup lets operators stand outside the fall line in narrow headings. The -20 °C to +50 °C window and 25 MPa circuit are baseline; electric-drive packages suit restricted tunnel ventilation.
Once your hole plan, tunnel clearance drawings and ground conditions reach our engineers, expect a benchmark quotation back within 48 hours. Every unit is configured around the power-head torque state, control mode and tooling package your contracting schedule demands, so we quote to the project rather than publishing a machine price.
