A drilling rig mud pump is a pumping machine that is used for pushing dirt water into the borehole while drilling a water well borehole. There are two types of mud pumps, one type is powered by an electric motor and the other type is powered diesel engine machine. In the oversea market, the diesel engine powered mud pump is a hot sale machine. It mainly works with a crawler water well drilling rig; the mud pump can pump the dirt water in and out of the water well borehole.
In the water well borehole drilling process, the drilling rig mud pump is a very important accessory to a water well drilling rig. The dirt water it pumps into the water well borehole helps to protect the water well borehole wall when the earth formation is soft and easy to collapse. The other important role the drilling rig mud pump plays is to cool down the drill bit while drilling, since when the drill bit drills into the ground and the heat of the drill bit will rise. A mud pump can also help to flush the drilling cuts out of the water well borehole while drilling a water well borehole.
For a water well borehole drilling machine, the mud pump serves as the heart of the mud circulating system, the reciprocating piston mud mump is especially used for drilling a water well borehole or a gas well. There are two types of piston mud pump, one is a single action stroke piston mud pump and the other double action piston mud pump. The pressure is very important when buying a piston mud pump, when the pressure is low, the mud pump can not push the dirt water out of the drilling borehole. So when going to buy a mud pump remember to figure out the pressure it needs to drill through the water borehole.
