The UZX-HW-RC500 is a crawler air reverse circulation drilling rig. Compressed air brings the cuttings to the surface through the inside of the rods, not around them, so samples come up clean, undiluted and from the exact depth. It drills down to 400 m with 105–400 mm holes.
It has a 132 kW Cummins engine, 10000 N·m of torque in low gear and 5000 N·m in high gear, 25 t of pull-back and a drilling rate of 10–35 m per hour. It works with 16–55 m³/min of air at 1.6–6 MPa and 3 m rods of Ø102 or Ø114 mm. It weighs 12 t.

The rig works with dual-wall rods. Compressed air travels down the space between the two walls to the hammer at the bottom and comes back up through the inner tube, carrying the cuttings. The samples reach the surface without touching the hole walls, so they do not mix with the rock above, and are collected by depth interval for analysis.
Samples rise through the inside of the rods, so they are clean and show exactly the depth they come from.
Two torque gears: 10000 N·m for large diameters, 5000 N·m for speed.
A drilling rate of 10–35 m per hour keeps the cost per metre low.
The 25 t pull-back works safely with long strings.
Mining exploration with cuttings samples, deposit evaluation drilling, large-diameter water wells and geotechnical drilling in rock.
The UZX-HW-RC500 drills down to 400 m with 105–400 mm holes and suits mining exploration with cuttings samples and large-diameter wells. For core samples, choose the UZX-HW-400XL and UZX-HW-1000GL rigs.
The price depends on the equipment: dual-wall rods, hammers, bits and compressor. Send us the hole depth, the diameter and how many metres you drill per day, and a Uzinex engineer will prepare a quote. Delivery, commissioning and operator training are included in Romania.
• Delivery and commissioning included, at your site, with operator training.
• 60-month warranty, standard across the whole catalogue.
• Service with nationwide coverage in Romania, on-site visit within 24 hours.
• Spare parts in stock, so a breakdown does not stop the job.
• Technical documentation for EU-funded projects, PNRR and public tenders (SEAP/SICAP).
• Configuration on request: dual-wall rods, hammers and the right compressor for the depth.

„We do stainless-steel metal fabrication dedicated to restaurant kitchens. The UZINEX equipment was a radical change: modernization, an increase in production and quality.”
„I had no idea, I was completely clueless. And you started to explain to me. You told me what technologies to choose, what packaging to produce, what would work better on the market.”
„We use a single person who can operate 3-4 machines. Before, we needed 3-4 people to do the same thing.”
„We have multiple challenges in making special structures that serve our systems, and the laser welding machine solution helped us enormously.”
„Laser welding on stainless is something else, it's a completely different thing. The quality of the machines is undeniable: the samples say it all.”
„With Uzinex, I felt very well protected by the assistance they provided. When you have a whole shift stalled and you need someone to answer quickly, it matters enormously.”
„The proof that everything went well is that the equipment now works. We have over three years of experience with no problems. Or when there were issues, there was support. We're satisfied with the collaboration.”
„I can do even 5 boxes for one person, I can also do 10 boxes. Which other firms can't do. That is, they'd have to change dies, set up a whole 12-hour affair.”
„Whether I called at 2 in the morning or at 9 in the morning, the problems got solved. We're satisfied and we'll work together again.”
„A good, smooth collaboration. We always had support and help.”
„We're among the top producers in Romania for this product. I wouldn't have imagined that when I started, but things fell into place.”
„On price and quality ratio, they were the best price and the best quality on the market. We got along well and we're satisfied.”
Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
