What is a hydraulic auger?
Hydraulic auger is a kind of auger equipment. Its working principle is to use hydraulic oil to let the motor drive the gear to rotate, thereby driving the output shaft, allowing the drill rod to work and performing hole forming operations.
Structurally speaking, our hydraulic auger is mainly composed of connecting frame, pipeline, driving head and drill rod. Some models can rotate up to 19 revolutions per minute!
How does hydraulic auger work?
The working principle of hydraulic auger is to convert hydraulic pressure into kinetic energy through drill pipe. At both ends of the drill bit, the drill rod is a piston connected to the inner piston rod. They are connected to the hydraulic cylinder at the top and the winch at the bottom.
Advantages of hydraulic earth auger
Compared with standard earth auger，hydraulic augers have the following advantages, including:
➢ lInfiltrate into various materials faster, and choose different drill bit models, so as to realize the hole-forming operation of a variety of complex terrain and soil.
➢ lImprove drilling speed
➢ lProvide stable torque
➢ lUnique design requirements realize the characteristics of small torque and high power. Pile holes of different diameters can be drilled by replacing spiral drill rods of different diameters.
➢ lThe excavator auger drill is easy to install and disassemble. The operating radius can be at least 2-3 meters longer than the long auger
➢ lThe cost of employment is low, and the drilling does not need to clean the soil, and one person can complete the work
Of course there are shortcomings, the shortcomings of hydraulic auger:
● Fluid is replaced by surrounding objects
● Insufficient power under certain conditions
● Too heavy, not conducive to transportation
● Not applicable to all projects
What can you do with hydraulic augers?
Spiral brick machine is a kind of construction machinery suitable for rapid hole-forming operations in building foundation projects. It is suitable for various drilling projects such as electric power, telecommunications, municipal administration, high-speed rail, highway, construction, petroleum, forestry, etc., and achieves multi-functional characteristics.
What to consider when buying a hydraulic auger?
When buying an auger, you must keep the following points in mind:
Material type: different materials require different drill bits and blades. The soil also determines the length of drill pipe you need.
Power source: Hydraulic auger can be operated with hydraulic power source or electric power source. Diesel and gasoline powered augers are more powerful, but they produce a lot of noise and are therefore not suitable for enclosed spaces.
Weight: Hydraulic augers are heavy, which means they need to be placed on the back of a truck or on top of a shelf during transportation.
Size: The size and length of the auger depends on your purpose. Larger diameter shafts can dig deeper holes.
Depth stop: Depth stop is important for safety purposes and prevents the auger bit from accidentally drilling too deep into the ground.
Accessories: You can connect accessories such as blades or drill bits to your hydraulic auger to make it work, not just drill directly down
Bottom line
Hydraulic augers are very suitable for digging holes and can make your work easier. Therefore, if you are looking for a way to make your work faster and more efficient, it's time to buy a hydraulic auger.
