slurry pump applications

In addition to oil and gas and mining, sectors such as construction and geothermal energy are also contributing to the surge in demand for drilling equipment. The construction industry requires drilling equipment for foundation work, site preparation, and tunneling projects, while the geothermal sector relies on specialized drilling rigs to tap into the Earth's heat. This diversification illustrates the versatility of drilling equipment and highlights its importance across multiple industries.

In summary, the calculation of a mud pump’s performance—including flow rate, pressure, and horsepower—is an essential aspect of drilling operations. Understanding these metrics not only helps in selecting the right pump for the job but also ensures that drilling activities can proceed smoothly and safely. Ignoring these calculations can lead to operational inefficiencies, increased costs, and risks to the safety of the crew. Therefore, professionals in the field must prioritize accurate calculations and remain vigilant about the conditions and performance of their mud pumps to facilitate successful drilling projects.

(1) If the horizontal slurry pump causes a blockage of solid hard deposits in the volute, measures can be taken to remove the blockage.
(2) If the shaft is different from the stuffing box axis, it is mainly due to processing errors and incorrect installation. Then pay attention to check whether the installation is correct after installation. If the sealing water ring is badly worn, a new water ring needs to be replaced. If the sealing water pipe is blocked, the sealing water cannot enter the middle of the packing, resulting in rapid wear of the packing, resulting in material leakage, you should dredge the blocked water pipe and keep the sealing water clean.
(3) If the impeller or the inlet and outlet water pipe is blocked, the impeller or pipe can be cleaned, and if the impeller is seriously worn, it should be replaced. If the filler mouth leaks, press the filler. If the conveying height is too high or the tube loss resistance is too large, the conveying height should be reduced or the resistance reduced.
