The drawworks reels in and reels out the drilling line. The drilling line is connected to the traveling block and hook which connect to the drill string. The drill string runs over the crown block and setup like a block and tackle pulley system.
[pdf] In a drilling rig, the drill line is a multi-thread, twisted wire rope that is threaded or reeved through in typically 6 to 12 parts between the traveling block and crown block to facilitate the lowering and lifting of the drill string into and out of the wellbore.
[pdf] Surface drilling rigs are hydraulic drill rigs typically designed for small to medium-scale quarries and small-sized open pit mines, suitable for rock drilling applications where rock hardness exceeds F10 in aggregate quarrying, civil engineering, road construction, open pit mining, hydropower plant construction and other blasthole drilling projects.
