When choosing a pump for a slurry application, several factors should be taken into consideration

Cleaning method:
Fill the pump with water
Open the inlet door and clean the clogged part of the pipeline
Plug the leak area and check whether the packing is wet or compressed

To ensure optimal performance from a 185% compressor, regular maintenance is crucial. Operators should carry out routine checks on oil levels, air filters, and belts to prevent breakdowns and maintain efficiency. It’s also essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for servicing, which includes filter replacements and engine checks.

Additionally, the tools and technologies used on Mars will have to be adapted. For example, engines that rely on combustion would be less efficient in Mars’ thin atmosphere, requiring alternative propulsion methods. Moreover, the presence of carbon dioxide could be harnessed for in-situ resource utilization, converting CO2 into oxygen for breathing and fuel.

The hammer itself can be operated using a pneumatic or hydraulic system, with hydraulic hammers being the preferred choice in most cases due to their consistent performance and reliability. The drill bit used is often designed specifically for marine environments, featuring reinforced materials and cutting edges optimized for hard substrates.
