mud pump water well factory

American Mfg Company’s roots lie in the fertile soil of America’s water-well Industry. When American Mfg Company opened it’s doors in 1986 it was a company 100% dedicated to manufacturing the highest quality spare parts for the water-well drilling industry.

While we may have grown a bit since the mid 80’s, and added several new divisions to our product line, our passion of manufacturing 100% identical and interchangeable parts for the water-well drilling pumps hasn’t wavered in the slightest. In fact, over the past 5 years we’ve added 3 complete duplex pumps which are OEM equipment for the most reputable water-well drilling rig manufacturers in the industry.

The government push towards geothermal heat has lead to an explosion in the geothermal drilling industry. A fairly new industry for American Mfg Company, we dove head in with our revolutionary 5” X 5” duplex mud pump which delivers the mud volume of a 5” X 6 pump, with the footprint of a 4.5” X 5”.

Mudslayer Portable Mud System built by a well driller for well drillers, saving their backs and their bottom line. This shaker system was designed by Jim LaPorte, professional water well driller in California for 30 years. Jim realized he needed a reliable mud system that did not require an enormous amount of training and extensive technical education to operate.

The idea of the MudSlayer was born. This mud shaker does not require an experienced user that has a P.H.D. in engineering to operate. This baby is simple, affordable and dependable. It has the power to move the mud, remove the solids and make your well drilling more productive. Saves you time money and stress, and maximizes safety and productivity

We have a two axle towable trailer to move this unit easily and where it needs to go and electric brakes for extra stopping power. Four hydraulic outriggers come standard and make your setup quick and easy. The 500 G.P.M. lift pump is also mounted on a hydraulic boom to insure safety and reduce the risk of back injury.

The unit comes standard with a 2" X 3" X 8 5/8" desanding and mudmixing pump. The drilling or charge pump is a choice of 3x4 mission magnum centrifugal pump or 4.5"x5" American manufacturing duplex pump for drilling most domestic wells or charging most duplex pumps.

The 42-year-old, family-owned American Drilling Services in Florida, relied on homemade drill rigs to complete primarily 2- to 4-inch residential water wells. With demand increasing, they began looking for newer technology in order to complete more mud pump well drilling.

“We used to do one well per day, occasionally two. The DM250 has helped us keep up with the workload by being able to drill quicker,” Diaz said. “The pulldown power of the top head is significantly stronger than our previous rigs. With the mud pump, we can clean out the hole a lot faster, which means less waiting around.”

“We’re not breaking down all the time, which is a huge advantage compared to our older rigs,” Diaz said. “Overall it’s a great rig. I recommend the DM250 to anyone doing 2- to 4-inch wells. It makes me happier because I’ve now got air conditioning, and I love the self-feed carousel. It’s a fast, great rig.”

Greetings Tim & Charlott, below is a GPS link and information on the well we just installed in the honor of Tim & Charlott King! Your love and commitment has allowed our Clean Water 4 Life ministry to sink over 500 water wells for those in need here in the Solomon Islands! Here is a link to read my current newsletter with lots of pictures! http://www.rickrupp.com/newsletter.php

Togokoba SSEC Church & Community is approx 58 kilometers east of Honiara. It was a long bumpy drive to this village. I had to walk a long way to get to the place where they lived. They explained that their source of drinking water was the stream. They were so happy when I explained that our CW4L team was going to come sink a well right in their village. I tasted the well water several weeks later after our team had blessed them with a water well. It tasted so good! It was nice clean & cold water! It never ceases to amaze me that there is such a nice water table here in the rural areas of the Guadnacanal plains! I counted 10 houses in this community and the population is approx 80 people. Now they finally have a source of clean drinking water! These people have suffered for many years either drinking from an open hand dug well or from the stream. Togokoba SSEC Church & Community is very grateful to our CW4L sponsors.

When choosing a size and type of mud pump for your drilling project, there are several factors to consider. These would include not only cost and size of pump that best fits your drilling rig, but also the diameter, depth and hole conditions you are drilling through. I know that this sounds like a lot to consider, but if you are set up the right way before the job starts, you will thank me later.

Recommended practice is to maintain a minimum of 100 to 150 feet per minute of uphole velocity for drill cuttings. Larger diameter wells for irrigation, agriculture or municipalities may violate this rule, because it may not be economically feasible to pump this much mud for the job. Uphole velocity is determined by the flow rate of the mud system, diameter of the borehole and the diameter of the drill pipe. There are many tools, including handbooks, rule of thumb, slide rule calculators and now apps on your handheld device, to calculate velocity. It is always good to remember the time it takes to get the cuttings off the bottom of the well. If you are drilling at 200 feet, then a 100-foot-per-minute velocity means that it would take two minutes to get the cuttings out of the hole. This is always a good reminder of what you are drilling through and how long ago it was that you drilled it. Ground conditions and rock formations are ever changing as you go deeper. Wouldn’t it be nice if they all remained the same?

Centrifugal-style mud pumps are very popular in our industry due to their size and weight, as well as flow rate capacity for an affordable price. There are many models and brands out there, and most of them are very good value. How does a centrifugal mud pump work? The rotation of the impeller accelerates the fluid into the volute or diffuser chamber. The added energy from the acceleration increases the velocity and pressure of the fluid. These pumps are known to be very inefficient. This means that it takes more energy to increase the flow and pressure of the fluid when compared to a piston-style pump. However, you have a significant advantage in flow rates from a centrifugal pump versus a piston pump. If you are drilling deeper wells with heavier cuttings, you will be forced at some point to use a piston-style mud pump. They have much higher efficiencies in transferring the input energy into flow and pressure, therefore resulting in much higher pressure capabilities.

Piston-style mud pumps utilize a piston or plunger that travels back and forth in a chamber known as a cylinder. These pumps are also called “positive displacement” pumps because they literally push the fluid forward. This fluid builds up pressure and forces a spring-loaded valve to open and allow the fluid to escape into the discharge piping of the pump and then down the borehole. Since the expansion process is much smaller (almost insignificant) compared to a centrifugal pump, there is much lower energy loss. Plunger-style pumps can develop upwards of 15,000 psi for well treatments and hydraulic fracturing. Centrifugal pumps, in comparison, usually operate below 300 psi. If you are comparing most drilling pumps, centrifugal pumps operate from 60 to 125 psi and piston pumps operate around 150 to 300 psi. There are many exceptions and special applications for drilling, but these numbers should cover 80 percent of all equipment operating out there.

The restriction of putting a piston-style mud pump onto drilling rigs has always been the physical size and weight to provide adequate flow and pressure to your drilling fluid. Because of this, the industry needed a new solution to this age-old issue.

Enter Cory Miller of Centerline Manufacturing, who I recently recommended for recognition by the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) for significant contributions to the industry.

As the senior design engineer for Ingersoll-Rand’s Deephole Drilling Business Unit, I had the distinct pleasure of working with him and incorporating his Centerline Mud Pump into our drilling rig platforms.

In the late ’90s — and perhaps even earlier —  Ingersoll-Rand had tried several times to develop a hydraulic-driven mud pump that would last an acceptable life- and duty-cycle for a well drilling contractor. With all of our resources and design wisdom, we were unable to solve this problem. Not only did Miller provide a solution, thus saving the size and weight of a typical gear-driven mud pump, he also provided a new offering — a mono-cylinder mud pump. This double-acting piston pump provided as much mud flow and pressure as a standard 5 X 6 duplex pump with incredible size and weight savings.

The true innovation was providing the well driller a solution for their mud pump requirements that was the right size and weight to integrate into both existing and new drilling rigs. Regardless of drill rig manufacturer and hydraulic system design, Centerline has provided a mud pump integration on hundreds of customer’s drilling rigs. Both mono-cylinder and duplex-cylinder pumps can fit nicely on the deck, across the frame or even be configured for under-deck mounting. This would not be possible with conventional mud pump designs.

The second generation design for the Centerline Mud Pump is expected later this year, and I believe it will be a true game changer for this industry. It also will open up the application to many other industries that require a heavier-duty cycle for a piston pump application.

Fourth generation Hintzke Well Drillingwill celebrate its 125th year from the same New London, Wisconsin, address where they began installing wells and servicing pumps from in 1896. Jason Hintzke, owner, and his two brothers now run the business his Great Grandfather started, building the company’s first steam engine well rig in 1901. Progressing to a 5-horse, hit-and-miss engine rope rig, and then in 1953 to a cable-tool rig, they still run the ‘old girl’ along with two ‘big rigs’.

While in Nashville, Tennessee, for the National Ground Water Association show they first laid eyes on the DRILLMAX® DM250. Then they ran into the guy who had purchased the DM250 on display.

“We don’t want to be wrenching on a rig all the time. We want to be drilling. It’s a well thought out piece of equipment,” Hintzke said. “Having console on driver’s side scared me a bit, but once we pulled 160 feet of rod out of the ground in three minutes, I knew I would get used to the controls in no time.”
