No-dig is a complicated operation requiring specialized machinery to accomplish. Drilling rig mud pumps are one of the fundamental pieces of machinery needed for a successful drilling operation. Elephant supplies drilling rig mud pumps and other specialized boring equipment for the HDD industry.   A drilling rig mud pump is a mechanical device that delivers flushing fluid such as mud or water to the borehole during the drilling process.  It is mainly to send the surface flushing medium-clean water, mud or polymer flushing fluid under certain pressure, through the high-pressure hose and the center hole of the drill string to the bottom of the drill bit during the drilling process, to cool the drill bit and clean the drill bit. It has the functions of fixing the well wall, driving drilling, etc., and removing and transporting the cut cuttings to the surface. This ensures that the drill does not clog and overheat, and makes the entire drilling operation smoothly and safely.   Drilling rig mud pumps are usually reciprocating type pumps that basically work by drawing a fluid into a chamber or cylinder by the action of a piston, plunger or diaphragm, and then pushing it out to the needed direction through the use of one-way or check valves, resulting in the pulsed flow of the liquid in one direction. Putting multiple pumps together increases the pump efficiency and provides a smoother liquid flow for better performance.   Elephant Company is a professional manufacturer of mud pumps, which can help you reduce some detours in the process of using mud pumps.  Choose Elephant mud pump, choose reliable!  

The mud pump is a device that can deliver flushing fluid such as mud or water to the borehole during the drilling process. Its structure is relatively simple, the operation is very stable, and the sound is not loud during operation. This equipment is used in many industries. What details should the pump pay attention to during the using?   1. Before turning on the mud pump, check whether its inlet and outlet pipes are blocked, whether there is butter in the front and rear bearings, and whether the packing is full.   2. When the equipment is working, it must be equipped with a high-pressure clean water pump, so that the clean water higher than the pump pressure can be delivered to the leak-proof packing. At the same time, do not turn off the flushing pump during operation, or the sealing part will be worn.   3. The gap between the impeller and the guard plate should be reasonable. If the gap is not reasonable, there will be noise and vibration when the pump is running, which will cause damage to the flow-through part, thus affecting the service life of the pump. When replacing the impeller, the gap must meet the design requirements. If you want to adjust the gap, you can use the adjusting screw on the rear bearing to achieve it.   4. Pay attention to the size of sediment particles during construction. If the particles are too large, you need to check the pump frequently to find problems in time. Generally, the parts easily damaged are bearings, pump casings and impellers. For these parts, they should be replaced frequently so as not to affect the operation of the pump.   The above has introduced the details that should be paid attention to when using the mud pump. When using the equipment, you must not only understand the correct method of use, but also need to do a good job in maintenance.

Many customers use mud pumps, they always pay attention to the work efficiency. After all, with a higher operating efficiency of the equipment, the work can be completed faster and smoother. But in the process of using, it is inevitable to encounter some failures, so what are the factors that affect the working efficiency of the equipment? Let us analyze it for you!   1. During the operation of the mud pump, the phenomenon is prone to idling during the operation, which is caused by the clogging of the filter cylinder and the intake of the pipeline.   2. The employees did not pay attention to the preparation work before starting, they did not perform routine operations such as warming the mud pump, or performed substandard operation steps, which caused the mud pump to often produce cavitation. As a result, the equipment has high noise, high vibration frequency and low work efficiency.   3. During operation, the efficiency of the motor remains unchanged, so it is particularly important to match a motor with high efficiency. During operation, it is inevitable to encounter hydraulic wear. The longer of the equipment runs, the surface of the impeller and guide vane is easier to wear, the hydraulic loss will increase, and the hydraulic efficiency will decrease.   4. The efficiency of the equipment itself is more critical. Under the same working environment, the operating efficiency of mud pumps with different performances varies by more than 15%, and the mechanical efficiency determines the working efficiency. Before selecting a pump, it is necessary to consider the design technology and manufacturing quality of the pump.   5. Volume loss. This loss is also called leakage loss, which includes three types of leakage losses: impeller seal ring, interstage, and axial force balance mechanism. The factors that determine volumetric efficiency are not only related to design and manufacture, but also related to later maintenance. Therefore, after the equipment has been in operation for a period of time, the long-term friction between the components will directly cause the gap between the parts to increase and the overall work efficiency to decrease.   What are the factors that affect the working efficiency of the mud pump? The above briefly introduces five influencing factors for everyone. Users will inevitably encounter problems when using the equipment, so regular maintenance of the equipment can improve work efficiency.
