Case

Beneath the sunshine of the South American continent, water resource development has become the core engine driving the growth of agriculture, industry, and people’s livelihoods. Recently, UNIQUEMAC’s flagship product — the 260m-depth water well drilling rig — has completed final quality inspection and is set to board a cargo ship bound for São Paulo State, Brazil. It will inject strong momentum into irrigation projects at local large-scale farms and drinking water security programs for surrounding communities. As a manufacturer with 15 years of experience in the water well drilling equipment sector, UNIQUEMAC has always adhered to the core principle of “adapting to regional needs and improving drilling efficiency.” This 260m water well drilling rig destined for Brazil is a benchmark product tailored specifically to the complex geology and water resource development demands of South America.

Why Did Brazilian Customers Firmly Choose the UNIQUEMAC 260m Water Well Drilling Rig?

São Paulo State is a major agricultural and industrial hub in Brazil, but the region faces significant seasonal droughts. Additionally, the subsurface strata are predominantly composed of laterite, sandstone, and a small amount of gravel, placing extremely high requirements on the drilling depth, stability, and slag discharge capacity of water well drilling rigs. After multiple rounds of comparative testing, the customer ultimately abandoned locally assembled equipment and selected the UNIQUEMAC 260m water well drilling rig, with the core reasons focusing on three key advantages.

260m Depth Meets Rigid Demands, Mud Pump Solves Complex Geological Challenges

Underground water resources in Brazil’s São Paulo State are mostly concentrated in the 180-250m depth range. The maximum drilling depth of the UNIQUEMAC 260m water well drilling rig precisely covers this core interval. Compared to the common 200m-class drilling rigs on the market, it can reach high-quality water-bearing strata directly without the need for secondary drilling. More importantly, the rig is equipped with a standard mud pump that intelligently adjusts mud displacement according to geological changes. It forms a stable mud wall in laterite formations to effectively prevent hole collapse and accelerates cuttings discharge in sandstone formations, increasing drilling efficiency by over 40%. On-site test data from the customer shows that under typical geological conditions in São Paulo State, the equipment can achieve a daily drilling depth of 35m, far exceeding the 20-25m level of similar local equipment.

High Cost-Performance Ratio + Weather-Resistant Design, Adapting to South American Usage Scenarios

South America has a significant demand for equipment cost control. Through the localization of core components and large-scale production, UNIQUEMAC has reduced the equipment price by 30% compared to European and American brands while ensuring performance. Meanwhile, targeting Brazil’s high-temperature and high-humidity climatic characteristics, the drilling rig adopts an IP54 dustproof and waterproof design, and the engine compartment is equipped with a forced heat dissipation system. Even in open-air operating environments above 40℃, it can work continuously for 8 hours without failure. Wear parts such as drill pipes and bits are compatible with the local Brazilian market, eliminating the need for imported replacements for later maintenance and further reducing the customer’s operational costs.

End-to-End Service Guarantee, Eliminating Concerns About Cross-Border Cooperation

For customers purchasing heavy drilling equipment across borders, the timeliness and professionalism of after-sales support are often the most critical concerns. Difficulties in diagnosing equipment failures, long lead times for spare parts supply, and poor communication on operational issues can all lead to project delays and substantial economic losses. To completely address the Brazilian customer’s worries, UNIQUEMAC has tailored a comprehensive after-sales support system for this batch of 260m water well drilling rigs: Before equipment shipment, it provides the Brazilian customer with operation training videos for the water well drilling rigs, conducts online training for Brazilian water well drilling rig operation engineers, and develops exclusive equipment commissioning processes and emergency plans based on local farm geological survey reports and irrigation project schedules. In response to the operational needs of the customer’s team, it offers an illustrated Portuguese operation manual covering core links such as mud pump pressure adjustment, drill pipe replacement, and intelligent system data interpretation. Simultaneously, it sets up simulated fault diagnosis drills and assessment mechanisms to ensure that every operator can independently complete daily equipment operation and maintenance.

UNIQUEMAC 260m Water Well Drilling Rig: More Than “Drilling for Water” — An Efficiency Revolution

Beyond adapting to Brazil’s geology and needs, the core performance of the UNIQUEMAC 260m water well drilling rig has been verified in multiple regions worldwide: In the grasslands of Kenya, Africa, its lightweight modular design has helped nomadic communities drill drinking water wells quickly; in the rice-growing areas of Thailand in Southeast Asia, its low fuel consumption feature has helped farmers reduce irrigation project costs.

The core competitiveness of this drilling rig stems from UNIQUEMAC’s pursuit of “drilling efficiency”: It adopts a hydraulic feeding system with a drill pressure control accuracy of 0.1MPa, effectively protecting drill pipes and bits; it is equipped with an intelligent control system that can display real-time data such as drilling depth and mud pressure, supporting remote fault diagnosis; the mud pump and drilling rig adopt a linked design to realize synchronous operation of “drilling and slag discharge,” avoiding the process disconnection problem of traditional equipment.

Deepening Presence in South American Market: UNIQUEMAC’s Localization Strategy

This purchase by Brazil marks an important step in UNIQUEMAC’s South American market layout. In recent years, with the accelerated agricultural modernization and urbanization in South America, the market demand for water well drilling equipment has grown by more than 15% annually. To better serve local customers, UNIQUEMAC has not only established after-sales service centers and spare parts warehouses in Peru but also plans to set up branches in Brazil in the future. Targeting the geological characteristics of different regions in South America, it has launched “customized drilling solutions” — for example, optimizing the track contact area of drilling rigs for the muddy strata in the Amazon River basin and upgrading the deep water extraction detection function of equipment for the arid regions in Argentina.

The 260m water well drilling rigs shipped to Brazil will be officially put into use after installation and commissioning at farms in São Paulo State. It is expected to meet the irrigation needs of 500 mu of farmland and the daily drinking water supply for 2,000 people in the surrounding areas. The customer’s person in charge stated during acceptance: “UNIQUEMAC’s drilling equipment not only solves our water resource acquisition problem but also its efficiency and durability make us see the possibility of long-term cooperation with Chinese manufacturers.”
