Sand pump (also be called centrifugal pump) is widely used to support solids control equipment during drilling process. It is mainly used on oil and gas drilling equipment. Aipu sand pump is manufactured with tungsten carbide mechanical seal and the impeller can lower axial thrust loads and make it easier for installation, repairing and maintenance. This sand pump can be used for transporting drilling mud. Usually sand pump includes vertical pump and horizontal pump, today we will know application instruction for vertical sand pump.
Vertical sand pump in drilling mud circulation system is usually submersible pump, it usually used to feed drilling mud decanter centrifuge, and sometimes also used to feed mud cleaners, desanders, desiters.
1. The pump is of vertical type, and can be used in a slant way within a certain angle range. And the vertical sand pump can be fixed on a pontoon, a floating platform or a fixed pedestal.
2．The motor should be provided with a protective cover and the cable interface should be carried out waterproofing process.
3．Oil nozzles at the motor seat and the middle section should be filled with oil once in each operation. The pump body should be maintained once every 300 hours. And the motor should be maintained once every three months.
4．The main machine of the vertical sand pump should be cleaned and maintained, added with oil to prevent rust, and stored in a dry place when not used. And the main machine of the pump should keep vertical when transported and stored.
