Recently, the "2023 Municipal Engineering Construction Industry Expo" was held at the Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center in Foshan. XCMG Foundation made a grand appearance with the newly upgraded F-series horizontal directional drilling rigs and XDN-H series pipe jacking machines.

At the site, urban pipeline network construction contractors gathered at the XCMG booth, inquiring about the technical highlights and detailed parameters of the XZ450F horizontal directional drilling rig and the XDN-H series rock pipe jacking machine.

The newly upgraded F-series horizontal directional drilling rig optimizes the human-machine layout, with an operating device reach rate of over 95%, one-key rod loading/unloading, one-key breakout, and intelligent operation to improve efficiency and reduce operating intensity.

High safety: The front and rear positions of the power head automatically decelerate to reduce impact; the semi-automatic system and power head are interlocked to prevent misoperation, effectively avoiding mechanical collision between the power head and the semi-automatic system. Energy saving and cost reduction: Mud flow can achieve automatic start-stop and automatic cutoff, and practical construction applications have verified a 30% savings in mud flow. Engine power adapts automatically, with preset automatic idle speed, and overload control is added, saving 10% in fuel costs.

In response to industry pain points such as long-distance construction and prolonged reaming, which easily lead to misoperation and construction risks, XCMG horizontal directional drilling rigs have been upgraded to automatic drilling and back reaming, with safety torque preset according to construction needs, and equipped with a control system that self-learns according to construction strata. Construction parameters from the previous stage are memorized, recalled, and monitored in real time, truly achieving safety protection and automatic construction.

In addition to horizontal directional drilling rigs, the XDN-H series rock pipe jacking machine exhibited this time is China's first independently developed hydraulic pipe jacking machine, applying staged reverse jacking technology, with a small launch shaft diameter (2.6 meters); the hydraulic motor and reducer use an integral mechanical seal, providing good waterproof and moisture-proof performance; cutterhead speed and jacking speed can be steplessly adjusted, with strong stratum adaptability.

Viewing the exhibition, exchanging ideas, making inquiries, signing orders... The XCMG booth was bustling with crowds. The XCMG XZ450F horizontal directional drilling rig sample vehicle was reserved on the first day of the exhibition, and inquiries for pipe jacking machines kept coming. "Eye-catching" and "money-attracting" are the praises from visiting customers for XCMG products at this exhibition. XCMG Foundation will also remain committed to innovation, focus on urban pipeline network construction, create more high-precision and advanced equipment to help cities create the future, and lead development with wisdom.
