KR 717

The Klemm KR 717 represents the premium solution for demanding geothermal drilling projects requiring exceptional power and versatility. This flagship model combines a robust 250 kW engine with advanced hydraulic architecture to handle both shallow and medium-depth applications with consistent precision. The drilling rig's comprehensive equipment package—including integrated loading crane and circulation system—enables operators to execute complex drilling programs with minimal auxiliary equipment, reducing project costs and site logistics complexity. Klemm KR 717 specifications highlight a sophisticated engineering approach to drilling rig design. The machine features nine independent hydraulic circuits for optimized pressure distribution across drilling functions, coupled with a powerful 220 kN mast retraction system that ensures efficient casing and core handling. The on-board flushing pump provides continuous circulation control essential for maintaining borehole stability, while the integrated loading crane facilitates rapid equipment changes and material handling during geothermal well development. This drilling-rig excels in both cased and uncased drilling configurations, supporting deep-hole hammer techniques for challenging geological formations as well as conventional flushing drilling methods. The balanced power delivery and modular hydraulic system make the Klemm KR 717 an ideal choice for exploration programs, geothermal resource assessment, and production well drilling across diverse European markets.
