What is the main purpose of BW160 mud pump

2025-12-24

      The BW160 mud pump is a horizontal single cylinder/three cylinder reciprocating piston type lightweight pump (with a flow rate of about 160L/min and pressure adaptability to multiple working conditions), which is mainly used in three major scenarios: drilling circulation, foundation grouting, and special construction. It is suitable for geological exploration, infrastructure reinforcement, emergency response, and other fields. Its specific uses are as follows:
1、 Core purpose of drilling engineering (main scenario)
      Geological/Engineering Exploration: Equipped with a 300-1000 meter shallow hole core drilling rig, pumping mud/water circulation, cooling the drill bit, lubricating the drilling tools, carrying rock debris back, and forming a mud skin protective hole wall to prevent collapse, suitable for mineral exploration, hydrological exploration, and highway and railway exploration.
      Geophysical exploration and blasting drilling: Transport flushing fluid to seismic exploration blasting holes and mine blasting holes, clean rock powder inside the holes, and ensure the safety of charging and blasting.
      Small scale non excavation construction: horizontal directional drilling (HDD), mud circulation for micro pipe jacking, cooling of the reamer, carrying of debris, stabilizing the borehole wall to avoid ground collapse.
2、 Application of grouting in basic engineering (core expansion scenario)
      Foundation reinforcement grouting: dam curtain grouting, foundation consolidation grouting, foundation pit anchoring grouting, pumping cement slurry/mortar to fill cracks, improving foundation bearing capacity, suitable for water conservancy, construction, railway and other infrastructure foundation treatments.
      Anti leakage and plugging construction: Waterproofing and plugging of basements, tunnels, and mines, as well as synchronous grouting of pipe jacking and shield tunneling to block seepage channels and control ground settlement.
      Mining and roadway support: wall consolidation grouting, roadway backfill grouting, enhance surrounding rock stability, and reduce collapse risk.
3、 Other auxiliary purposes
      Industrial and emergency transportation: small flow drainage in mines, long-distance transportation of clean water/low concentration slurry, suitable for temporary water supply in the field, and small-scale construction site sewage discharge.
      Special construction support: mud circulation for geothermal drilling, small water well drilling, and slope grouting reinforcement in geological hazard control.
