URB 51

URB 51

Designed for drilling with a depth of up to 300 meters (core method, carbide or diamond crowns with flushing or blowing) at a well angle of 45–95 degrees, it is mounted on a full-capacity three-axle high-cross-country chassis. They use URB, as the manufacturer specifies, for studying the mineral resource base, mineral exploration and preparing technological maps for mining, as well as for geological work in the design, construction and reconstruction of enterprises. In addition, the installation performs tasks such as ensuring production efficiency and industrial safety, monitoring groundwater, examining drainage water reduction systems, taking water samples to determine the chemical composition and genesis of drainage water, performing calculations of tributaries to mine workings, and also monitoring ice formation zones and groundwater breakthrough into mine workings. In addition to core drilling with flushing, the URB-51 allows continuous drilling with cone bits with flushing (blowing) or an air hammer, shock-rope method with driven drums, chisels and chutes, as well as performing screw drilling and screw drilling under casing protection or drilling using hollow augers, pick drills, paddle bits.
