how does a mud pump work factory

Mud pump is mainly used for geological drilling, geological engineering construction and foundation treatment of low and medium pressure grouting pump, etc. Mud pump is a machine that sends mud or water to the borehole during the drilling process. Mud pump is an important part of drilling equipment. All major businesses have mud pump parts for sale.

The main function of mud pump is to inject mud into the well along with the bit during the drilling process. It plays the role of cooling the drill bit, cleaning the drilling tool, fixing the well wall, driving drilling, and bringing the cuttings back to the surface after drilling.

In the commonly used positive circulation drilling, the mud pump sends the surface flushing medium-- clean water, mud or polymer flushing fluid to the end of the drill bit through the high pressure hose faucet and the center hole of the drill string under a certain pressure. Therefore, the purpose of cooling the drill bit and removing and conveying the cuttings to the surface is achieved.

Petroleum drilling mud pump is a kind of volumetric mud pump. Its basic working principle is that the volume of the sealed working chamber (mud pump cylinder liner) is periodically changed to convert the original mechanical energy into the pressure energy of the liquid to complete the operation.

The specific process relies on the reciprocating motion of the mud pump piston in the cylinder liner to make the volume of the working chamber in the cylinder liner change periodically. The mud pump cylinder liner is isolated from the outside world by means of a sealing device such as a seal ring, and communicates or closes with the pipeline through the pump valve (suction valve or discharge valve), which shows the importance of the mud pump cylinder liner. The three-cylinder mud pumps currently on the market are equipped with three cylinder sleeves.

What is a mud pump? A mud pump refers to a machine that transports mud or water and other flushing fluid into the borehole during drilling. Types of mud pumps are an important part of drilling equipment. In the commonly used positive circulation drilling, it is to send the surface flushing medium—clear water, mud, or polymer rinsing liquid to the bottom end of the drill bit through a high-pressure hose, faucet, and drill rod center hole under a certain pressure. Cool the drill bit, remove the cut debris and transport it to the surface.

The commonly used mud pump is a piston-type or a plunger type, and the crankshaft of the pump is driven by the power machine, and the crankshaft passes the crosshead to drive the piston or the plunger to reciprocate in the pump cylinder. Under the alternating action of the suction and discharge valves, the purpose of pumping and circulating the flushing liquid is achieved.

During operation, the power machine drives the main shaft and the crank that is fixed thereon by a transmission component such as a belt, a transmission shaft, and a gear. When the crank rotates counterclockwise from the horizontal position from left to right, the piston moves to the power end, the pressure in the liquid cylinder gradually decreases and a vacuum is formed, and the liquid in the suction pool is under the action of the liquid surface pressure, and the suction valve is opened to enter the liquid cylinder. Until the piston moves to the right stop. This working process is called the suction process of the pump.

After the crank completes the above suction process, it continues to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the piston starts to move toward the hydraulic end (left side in the figure), and the liquid in the cylinder is squeezed. The pressure rises, the suction valve closes, and the discharge valve is closed. Top open, liquid enters the discharge pipe until the piston moves to the left stop. This process is called the pump discharge process. As the power machine continues to operate, the reciprocating pump continuously repeats the process of inhaling and discharging, and the liquid in the suction pool is continuously sent to the bottom of the well through the discharge pipe.

The distance the piston moves in the cylinder is called the stroke length of the piston; the number of reciprocations of the piston per minute is called the stroke of the piston.

The drilling industry has roots dating back to the Han Dynasty in China. Improvements in rig power and equipment design have allowed for many advances in the way crude oil and natural gas are extracted from the ground. Diesel/electric oil drilling rigs can now drill wells more than 4 miles in depth. Drilling fluid, also called drilling mud, is used to help transfer the dirt or drill cuttings from the action of the drilling bit back to the surface for disposal. Drill cuttings can vary in shape and size depending on the formation or design of the drill bit used in the process.

Watch the video below to see how the EDDY Pump outperforms traditional pumps when it comes to high solids and high viscosity materials commonly found on oil rigs.

Solids control equipment including shakers, hydro-cyclones, and centrifuges are utilized to clean the drill cuttings from the drilling fluid, which then allows it to be reused and recirculated. The circuit includes the mixing of the drilling fluid in the rig tanks.

The drilling fluid is prepared to control fluid loss to the formation by the addition of chemicals or mineral agents. Commercial barite or other weighting agents are added to control the hydrostatic pressure exuded on the bottom of the well which controls formation pressures preventing fluid or gas intrusion into the wellbore.

The fluid is charged into high-pressure mud pumps which pump the drilling mud down the drill string and out through the bit nozzles cleaning the hole and lubricating the drill bit so the bit can cut efficiently through the formation. The bit is cooled by the fluid and moves up the space between the pipe and the hole which is called the annulus. The fluid imparts a thin, tough layer on the inside of the hole to protect against fluid loss which can cause differential sticking.

The fluid rises through the blowout preventers and down the flowline to the shale shakers. Shale shakers are equipped with fine screens that separate drill cutting particles as fine as 50-74 microns. Table salt is around 100 microns, so these are fine cuttings that are deposited into the half-round or cuttings catch tank. The drilling fluid is further cleaned with the hydro-cyclones and centrifuges and is pumped back to the mixing area of the mud tanks where the process repeats.

The drill cuttings contain a layer of drilling fluid on the surface of the cuttings. As the size of the drill cuttings gets smaller the surface area expands exponentially which can cause rheological property problems with the fluid. The fluid will dehydrate and may become too thick or viscous to pump so solids control and dilution are important to the entire drilling process.

One of the most expensive and troubling issues with drilling operations is the handling, processing, and circulation of drilling mud along with disposing of the unwanted drill cuttings. The drilling cuttings deposited in the half round tank and are typically removed with an excavator that must move the contents of the waste bin or roll-off box. The excavators are usually rented for this duty and the equipment charges can range from $200-300/day. Add in the cost for the day and night manpower and the real cost for a single excavator can be as much as $1800/day.

Using the excavator method explained above, the unloading of 50 barrels of drill cuttings from the half round can take as long as two hours. This task is mostly performed by the solids control technicians. The prime duty for the solids control technicians is to maintain the solids control equipment in good working order. This involves maintenance for the equipment, screen monitoring and changing, centrifuge adjustments, and retort testing to prepare a daily operational summary of the solids control program.

Operating the excavator takes the technician away from these tasks and can lead to poorly performing equipment. Additionally, the excavator has the potential for abuse as some solids control technicians use the climate-controlled cab as a break area or refuge from the elements. Many times, these guys are found asleep on the job.

One solids control company reported the idle time for the excavator can be more than 8 hours for a 24-hour period with 8 hours of operation and 8 hours of shut down time. Fuel and time lost can cause an economic drag on rig operations. And lastly, there have been several accidents on each rig causing a potential for injury, loss of production, and lost revenue as the excavator must be repaired.

Offshore drilling rigs follow a similar process in which the mud is loaded into empty drums and held on the oil platform. When a certain number of filled drums is met, the drums are then loaded onto barges or vessels which take the drilling mud to the shore to unload and dispose of.

Oil field drilling operations produce a tremendous volume of drill cuttings that need both removal and management. In most cases, the site managers also need to separate the cuttings from the drilling fluids so they can reuse the fluids. Storing the cuttings provides a free source of stable fill material for finished wells, while other companies choose to send them off to specialty landfills. Regardless of the final destination or use for the cuttings, drilling and dredging operations must have the right high solids slurry pumps to move them for transport, storage, or on-site processing. Exploring the differences in the various drilling fluids, cutting complications, and processing options will reveal why the EDDY Pump is the best fit for the job.

The Eddy Pump is designed to move slurry with solid content as high as 70-80 % depending on the material. This is an ideal application for pumping drill cuttings. Drill cuttings from the primary shakers are typically 50% solids and 50% liquids. The Eddy Pump moves these fluids efficiently and because of the large volute chamber and the design of the geometric rotor, there is very little wear on the pump, ensuring long life and greatly reduced maintenance cost for the lifetime of the pump.

plumbed to sweep the bottom of the collection tank and the pump is recessed into a sump allowing for a relatively clean tank when the solids are removed. The Eddy Pump is sized to load a roll-off box in 10-12 minutes. The benefit is cuttings handling is quicker, easier, safer, and allows for pre-planning loading where the labor of the solids control technician is not monopolized by loading cuttings. Here, in the below image, we’re loading 4 waste roll-off bins which will allow the safe removal of cuttings without fear of the half-round catch tank running over.

Mud cleaning systems such as mud shaker pumps and bentonite slurry pumps move the material over screens and through dryers and centrifuges to retrieve even the finest bits of stone and silt. However, the pump operators must still get the raw slurry to the drill cuttings treatment area with a power main pump. Slurry pumps designed around the power of an Eddy current offer the best performance for transferring cuttings throughout a treatment system.

Options vary depending on whether the company plans to handle drill cuttings treatment on-site or transport the materials to a remote landfill or processing facility. If the plan is to deposit the cuttings in a landfill or a long-term storage container, it’s best to invest in a pump capable of depositing the material directly into transport vehicles. Most dredging operations rely on multiple expensive vacuum trucks, secondary pumps, and extra pieces of equipment.

Using an EDDY Pump will allow a project to eliminate the need for excavators/operators to load drill cuttings, substantially lowering both labor and heavy equipment costs. The EDDY Pump also allows a company to eliminate vacuum trucks once used for cleaning the mud system for displacing fluids. Since the pump transfers muds of all types at constant pressure and velocity throughout a system of practically any size, there’s little need for extra equipment for manual transfer or clean up on the dredge site.

The EDDY Pump can fill up a truck in only 10 minutes (compared to an hour) by using a mechanical means such as an excavator. For this reason, most companies can afford one piece of equipment that can replace half a dozen other units.

This application for the Eddy Pump has the potential to revolutionize the drilling industry. Moving the excavator out of the “back yard” (the area behind the rig from the living quarters) will make cuttings handling a breeze. Trucking can be easier scheduled during daylight hours saving on overtime and incidences of fatigued driving. Rig-site forklifts can move the roll-off boxes out of the staging area and into the pump loading area. The operator can save money on excavators rental, damages, and keep the technician operating the solids control equipment.

The EDDY Pump is ideal for drilling mud pump applications and can be connected directly onto the drilling rigs to pump the drilling mud at distances over a mile for disposal. This eliminates the need for costly vacuum trucks and also the manpower needed to mechanically move the drilling mud. The reasons why the EDDY Pump is capable of moving the drilling mud is due to the hydrodynamic principle that the pump creates, which is similar to the EDDY current of a tornado. This tornado motion allows for the higher viscosity and specific gravity pumping ability. This along with the large tolerance between the volute and the rotor allows for large objects like rock cuttings to pass through the pump without obstruction. The large tolerance of the EDDY Pump also enables the pump to last many times longer than centrifugal pumps without the need for extended downtime or replacement parts. The EDDY Pump is the lowest total life cycle pump on the market.

Mud pumps are used on drilling rigs for the circulation of mud. These reciprocating pumps are suited for the process of drilling oil wells. We, at Waters International Inc. offer a wide selection of remanufactured, used and new drilling equipment for domestic and international drilling companies.  We understand the needs of our clients and hence are better equipped to offer you the best drilling mud pump parts.

Triplex: This mud pump is used for drilling applications needing high pump pressure. This model works by decreasing the working fluid volume being discharged to generate pressure for producing the flow. There are three pistons in the triplex pump, with the middle piston generating more pressure to the crankshaft. High piston load can lead to excessive pressure and crankshaft failure, if the components are not properly sourced.

Quintuplex: These pumps are perfect for pumping fluid at the time of drilling operations. It works as a continuous duty return piston. This is used in terms of its external bearings to provide crankshaft support to ensure proper functioning of the sheaves.

Duplex: These mud pumps ensure that the mud circulation reaches the well’s bottom from the mud cleaning system. Duplex pumps have binocular floating seals as well as safety valves.

Waters International Inc offers high quality OEM mud pump spares, consumables, expendables and spare parts. Our mud pump parts are made with the highest standards of quality, offering competitive pricing and exceptional durability.

These pumps can be differentiated into single and double acting pumps as per completion time of the suction and drainage action in a cycle of the reciprocal motion of the piston. Mud pumps are available in a variety of sizes, in addition to the types, viz., triplex, duplex or quintuplex. The latest developments are hex pumps with 6 vertical pistons and quintuplex with 5 horizontal plungers.

The fluid end provides valves, liners and pistons for the pumping process. These are high wear items requiring frequent replacement of parts. Severe vibrations caused by the pumping process necessitates a suction and discharge pulsation dampening component. Power end of the mud pump transitions the power of the drive shaft to the piston’s reciprocating motion. Parts of the mud pump include the plunger, piston, modules, housing, cover plus packing, piston rod, suction and discharge valves with their seats, stuffing box, pulsation dampener and glands.

Smooth operations will be possible when the right quality mud pump parts are sourced. At Waters International Inc., we offer a wide range of mud pump parts that will partner the operations of rugged mud pumps for extended periods.

Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump In fact, sewage pump, slurry pump and some other non-clean water pump and mud pump in the name also have universal. This entry addresses the reader to mud pumps in the field of drilling.

Mud pump, refers to the drilling process to the drilling mud or water and other flushing liquid machinery. Mud pump is an important part of drilling equipment. In common are circulating drilling, it is washing medium surface it ─ ─ water, mud or polymer rinses under certain pressure, through high pressure hose, faucet and center hole drill pipe column straight to the bottom of the drill bit, in order to achieve cooling bit, to clear the debris that cutting down and the purpose of conveying to the surface.

Commonly used mud pump is piston or plunger type, driven by the power machine pump crankshaft rotation, crankshaft through the crosshead and then drive the piston or plunger in the pump cylinder to do reciprocating movement. Under the alternating action of suction valve and discharge valve, the purpose of pressing and circulating flushing liquid is realized.

The displacement is calculated by discharging several liters per minute, which is related to the drilling diameter and the required return velocity of the flushing liquid from the bottom of the hole, that is, the larger the pore size, the larger the displacement required. The return velocity of the flushing fluid is required to flush the cuttings and rock powder from the drill bit to the bottom of the hole in time and carry them to the surface reliably. In geological core drilling, the general return velocity is about 0.4 ~ 1.0 m/min.

The pressure of the pump depends on the depth of the borehole, the resistance of the channel through which the flushing fluid passes and the nature of the flushing fluid. The deeper the hole, the greater the pipe resistance and the higher the pressure required.

With the change of drilling diameter and depth, the displacement of the required pump can also be adjusted at any time. A gearbox or a hydraulic motor is arranged in the mechanism of the pump to adjust its speed so as to achieve the purpose of changing the displacement. In order to accurately grasp the change of pump pressure and displacement, it is necessary to install a flow meter and pressure gauge on the mud pump, so that the drillers can know the operation of the pump at any time. At the same time, the pressure change can be used to determine whether the condition in the hole is normal to prevent the occurrence of accidents in the hole.

6, the pump can be reversed, the flow of liquid by the direction of rotation of the pump to change, applicable to the pipe to the reverse flushing occasions.

Piston, piston pressure plate, cup, piston, piston rod, piston rod, into the drain valve, drain valve seat, crosshead, crosshead, crosshead pin shaft, crankshaft, connecting rod, connecting rod and watts, copper sets, connecting rod bolt and mother, crown type nut, skeleton oil seal, O ring, bearings and matching gear, shaft or the quality problem, it should be noted in the purchase and use.

Reasons: insufficient infusion and diversion of water, air in the pump cannot be discharged, air leakage in the suction pipe, large clearance between the front liner and the impeller;

The original solution: continue to pour water, check whether there is air leakage in the pipeline, and adjust the clearance between the impeller and the front liner.

Solution: empty the air in the pump, adjust the clearance, adjust the friction disc clearance of the clutch, and replace the impeller or lining plate.

Before starting the mud pump, please check whether the inlet pipe and outlet pipe are blocked, whether the front and rear bearings are filled with butter, and check whether the packing is full. When the mud pump works, it should be equipped with high pressure fresh water pump, which is greater than the pressure of the mud pump, to send water to the leak-proof packing, to protect the packing, and the flushing pump should not be closed when the mud pump works, otherwise, it will make the sealing part wear quickly. Whether the clearance between the impeller and the guard plate is reasonable or not has a great influence on the service life of the mud pump. If the clearance is not reasonable, the pump will generate vibration and noise during operation, and the over-current parts will be damaged quickly. Therefore, when replacing the impeller, attention should be paid to making the clearance meet the requirements of the drawing. Clearance adjustment can be made by adjusting screws on the rear bearing body. The allowable suction distance of the mud pump is determined during the delivery of clear water.

The construction department shall have specialized maintenance personnel who shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of construction machinery. Regular mud pump and other mechanical inspection, maintenance, early problem to solve, so as not to cause shutdown. Construction should pay attention to the size of sediment particles, large particles when often check the vulnerable parts of the mud pump, in order to timely maintenance or replacement. Mud pump vulnerable parts are mainly pump shell, bearing, impeller, etc. Adopting advanced anti-wear measures can improve the service life of vulnerable parts, reduce engineering investment and improve production efficiency. At the same time, vulnerable parts should be readily available for timely replacement.

In the construction, the mechanical, the mud pump continuous normal work can cause the mud pump to display the high work efficiency. Accordingly, want to have reasonable time limit arrangement, strict management system.

1. Check before starting: tighten all connection parts; Electric rotation direction should be correct; The clutch is flexible and reliable. Pipeline connection is firm, sealing is reliable, bottom valve is flexible and effective.

2. Before starting the slurry pump, the suction pipe, the bottom valve and the pump body must be filled with water and the upper end of the buffer of the pressure gauge must be filled with oil.

4. Pay attention to the sealing condition of each sealing device during operation, and adjust it if necessary. Pull rod and auxiliary rod should be oiled regularly.

6, there are several speed of the mud pump in order to make splash lubrication reliable, should be in each shift of operation will be several speed respectively, the time is not less than 30 seconds.

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.

Centerline stuck with their original design through all of the typical trials and tribulations that come with a new product integration. Over the course of the first several years, Miller found out that even the best of the highest quality hydraulic cylinders, valves and seals were not truly what they were represented to be. He then set off on an endeavor to bring everything in-house and began manufacturing all of his own components, including hydraulic valves. This gave him complete control over the quality of components that go into the finished product.

Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump Mud Pump In fact, sewage pump, slurry pump and some other non-clean water pump and mud pump in the name also have universal. This entry addresses the reader to mud pumps in the field of drilling.

Mud pump, refers to the drilling process to the drilling mud or water and other flushing liquid machinery. Mud pump is an important part of drilling equipment. In common are circulating drilling, it is washing medium surface it ─ ─ water, mud or polymer rinses under certain pressure, through high pressure hose, faucet and center hole drill pipe column straight to the bottom of the drill bit, in order to achieve cooling bit, to clear the debris that cutting down and the purpose of conveying to the surface.

Commonly used mud pump is piston or plunger type, driven by the power machine pump crankshaft rotation, crankshaft through the crosshead and then drive the piston or plunger in the pump cylinder to do reciprocating movement. Under the alternating action of suction valve and discharge valve, the purpose of pressing and circulating flushing liquid is realized.

The displacement is calculated by discharging several liters per minute, which is related to the drilling diameter and the required return velocity of the flushing liquid from the bottom of the hole, that is, the larger the pore size, the larger the displacement required. The return velocity of the flushing fluid is required to flush the cuttings and rock powder from the drill bit to the bottom of the hole in time and carry them to the surface reliably. In geological core drilling, the general return velocity is about 0.4 ~ 1.0 m/min.

The pressure of the pump depends on the depth of the borehole, the resistance of the channel through which the flushing fluid passes and the nature of the flushing fluid. The deeper the hole, the greater the pipe resistance and the higher the pressure required.

With the change of drilling diameter and depth, the displacement of the required pump can also be adjusted at any time. A gearbox or a hydraulic motor is arranged in the mechanism of the pump to adjust its speed so as to achieve the purpose of changing the displacement. In order to accurately grasp the change of pump pressure and displacement, it is necessary to install a flow meter and pressure gauge on the mud pump, so that the drillers can know the operation of the pump at any time. At the same time, the pressure change can be used to determine whether the condition in the hole is normal to prevent the occurrence of accidents in the hole.

6, the pump can be reversed, the flow of liquid by the direction of rotation of the pump to change, applicable to the pipe to the reverse flushing occasions.

Piston, piston pressure plate, cup, piston, piston rod, piston rod, into the drain valve, drain valve seat, crosshead, crosshead, crosshead pin shaft, crankshaft, connecting rod, connecting rod and watts, copper sets, connecting rod bolt and mother, crown type nut, skeleton oil seal, O ring, bearings and matching gear, shaft or the quality problem, it should be noted in the purchase and use.

Reasons: insufficient infusion and diversion of water, air in the pump cannot be discharged, air leakage in the suction pipe, large clearance between the front liner and the impeller;

The original solution: continue to pour water, check whether there is air leakage in the pipeline, and adjust the clearance between the impeller and the front liner.

Solution: empty the air in the pump, adjust the clearance, adjust the friction disc clearance of the clutch, and replace the impeller or lining plate.

Before starting the mud pump, please check whether the inlet pipe and outlet pipe are blocked, whether the front and rear bearings are filled with butter, and check whether the packing is full. When the mud pump works, it should be equipped with high pressure fresh water pump, which is greater than the pressure of the mud pump, to send water to the leak-proof packing, to protect the packing, and the flushing pump should not be closed when the mud pump works, otherwise, it will make the sealing part wear quickly. Whether the clearance between the impeller and the guard plate is reasonable or not has a great influence on the service life of the mud pump. If the clearance is not reasonable, the pump will generate vibration and noise during operation, and the over-current parts will be damaged quickly. Therefore, when replacing the impeller, attention should be paid to making the clearance meet the requirements of the drawing. Clearance adjustment can be made by adjusting screws on the rear bearing body. The allowable suction distance of the mud pump is determined during the delivery of clear water.

The construction department shall have specialized maintenance personnel who shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of construction machinery. Regular mud pump and other mechanical inspection, maintenance, early problem to solve, so as not to cause shutdown. Construction should pay attention to the size of sediment particles, large particles when often check the vulnerable parts of the mud pump, in order to timely maintenance or replacement. Mud pump vulnerable parts are mainly pump shell, bearing, impeller, etc. Adopting advanced anti-wear measures can improve the service life of vulnerable parts, reduce engineering investment and improve production efficiency. At the same time, vulnerable parts should be readily available for timely replacement.

In the construction, the mechanical, the mud pump continuous normal work can cause the mud pump to display the high work efficiency. Accordingly, want to have reasonable time limit arrangement, strict management system.

1. Check before starting: tighten all connection parts; Electric rotation direction should be correct; The clutch is flexible and reliable. Pipeline connection is firm, sealing is reliable, bottom valve is flexible and effective.

2. Before starting the slurry pump, the suction pipe, the bottom valve and the pump body must be filled with water and the upper end of the buffer of the pressure gauge must be filled with oil.

4. Pay attention to the sealing condition of each sealing device during operation, and adjust it if necessary. Pull rod and auxiliary rod should be oiled regularly.

6, there are several speed of the mud pump in order to make splash lubrication reliable, should be in each shift of operation will be several speed respectively, the time is not less than 30 seconds.
