hmi hidraulic mud pump manufacturer

The HMI HM-1 hydraulic mudjacking pump was the first concrete raising product engineered and manufactured by HMI, just over 40 years ago. It’s reliability and superior engineering maintains its place in the market, but has also acted as the springboard for other, more advanced models / options which offer various options of engine horsepower, hopper size, pumping pressure, and so much more.

Our largest, self-propelled, multi-functional pump. This rugged and durable pump is the top-of-the-line mudjacking unit. With the highest available pumping pressure, largest material hopper, most horsepower and versatility.

Our most popular model, the self-propelled, hydraulic mudjacking pump drives circles around the competition. Affordable and durable, the Power Pump is a great way to start-up or add to a concrete raising business.

Made in USA.

HMI is proud of all its innovations and products, but perhaps the greatest innovation is the Quik Mix Pro automated volumetric hopper/mixer unit. The first fully automated unit rolled off the production line in March of 2003. This slabjacking unit, when mounted on a truck body, can carry a slab raising pump, dry material, cement, and water. Along with its unique twin shafted mixer, it can automatically mix and place material into the hopper of a pump. No shoveling is required!

Expanding beyond just the slabjacking industry, in 2008 HMI developed a revolutionary new Hydraulic Power Pack 10. With a new 2 in 1 design it offers 10,000 psi at 1 ½ gallons per minute, or 3,000 psi at 9 gallons per minute. Not only is the unit great as a seperate hydraulic power pack for running hydraulic tools (mixers and mudpumps), piering contractors can use it to install helical and resistance piers.

Hydraulic Mudpumps, Inc. is committed to future refinements and development to its product line. Our future will be determined by requests from you, our customer, and the upcoming industry demands.

Over recent months I became familiar with an ideal execution of this program where HMI, (www.ConcreteRaisingSystems.com) a concrete lifting and leveling manufacturer commissioned Logical Engine,  a business app software developer to create a system to maximize the efficiency of their customers. A tour of that systems and the potential can be viewed at (http://www.mudpumps.com/information-center/estimate-rocket/).

Solid State Automation designed and developed a control system for an off shore mixing platform. The system is housed in a Nema 7 enclosure and allows operator interface via an IS track pad. This allows the operator the full functionality of an HMI even in a hazardous environment.

The Beaumont Reserve Fleet required a monitoring system capable of tracking temperature, humidity, intrusion, corrosion, and fire protection. Additionally, they needed a system that could communicate all that information back to a central monitoring station. Solid State Automation installed a system aboard the USS Nassau that included 6 fire monitoring boxes, 12 humidty/temperature/air quality sensors, 2 intrusion detectors, and 3 current transducers to monitor ship power. All the information the monitoring system gathered was transmitted wirelessly over two miles back to the central monitoring station and displayed on a custom HMI. The system also included a solar panel and battery array that enabled the system to run even in the event of a shore power loss.

Working with a drilling contractor in Louisiana, Solid State Automation developed a complete drilling control system for a barge based drill rig. The system can assign different DC motors to different DC drives and an operator can control mud pumps, top drive, draw works, and auxiliary pumps and motors. The system also interfaces with a smart MCC lineup, the main barge generators, and has remote interface capabilities for monitoring and troubleshooting as well as handling blackout prevention.

For a drilling contractor retrofitting a jackup rig for the North Sea, Solid State Automation developed a PLC based vessel and drilling management system. The system manages and controls the assignment of thruster motors, mudpump motors, and draw works motors to various SCR drives and the operation of their associated auxiliary motors. Additionally, the system monitors the generators and manages blackout prevention. The system is based on the S7-300 PLC and interfaces with a NOV Cyberbase system.

Solid State Automation was contracted by the Army Corp of Engineers to upgrade their Hydromet system at the Lower Granite River Dam. Installation included putting in new sample station equipment at various locations along the snake river as well as building a new communication network to bring the sample station data back to the dam. Work also included building an HMI which gives real time data of all the sample stations, the communications network, and feeds information into the local SCADA system.

In conjunction with a local skid manufacturer, Solid State Automation and Controls has developed a PLC based multiport valve and pump control system. The skid is based around a multiport valve that allows up to seven wells to be brought in simultaneously. This system allows for testing of multiple well sites with the use of a single flow meter and can capture individual wellhead production rates. The system is scalable between one and seven wellheads per skid and is able to be connected remotely via serial, Ethernet, radio, or satellite.

At Kirtland AFB Solid State Automation was tasked with overhauling five PLC based control systems in a research laboratory and providing a control system that gave them real time information on the system status as well as air flow rate and other information via a custom designed HMI. The system included four process controllers as well as a central VFD controller that communicated over a Modbus/Ethernet system to a central control console.

The Bentec Soft Pump System is a software solution which is developed to precisely coordinate the output pump pressure of up to four mud pumps into the common high-pressure mud line and through the borehole. The Bentec Soft Pump System synchronizes the timing of the pump strokes and leads to equal peak distances. This eliminates uncoordinated high pressure peaks due to asynchronous pump strokes which can harm the high-pressure mud lines.

The resulting continuous low-peak pressure amplitude enables the filtration of mud pressure pulsation signals from the Measurement While Drilling or Logging While Drilling tools. This also helps to extend the lifespan of the entire mud line equipment such as mud pumps, highpressure mud lines and pressure pulsation dampeners, which in turn minimizes maintenance and repair costs significantly. As a retrofit package the Bentec Soft Pump System can be used for all types of electrically driven mud pumps. The Bentec Soft Pump System allows all pumps to be controlled with just one adjusting knob. In this parallel mode, the slave pumps adjust their speed depending on the speed of the master pump.

The Bentec Soft Pump System is either controlled via an additional Human-Machine Interface or it can be integrated into a Bentec infoDRILL system. Stroke per minute indicators allow the number of strokes of every pump or each single pump to be counted. An alarm can also be set which indicates when a predefined number of pump strokes has been reached. Bentec combines all of the experience it has gained from more than 17 years of developing and enhancing Soft Pump Systems to offer a highly reliable and field proven system.
