Mud pumps, vital components in drilling machinery, efficiently transport mud or water as flushing fluid into boreholes during exploration. They're commonly piston- or plunger-type, driven by power units, converting rotary motion into reciprocation for suction and discharge. Characterized by high-wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and impact strength, they operate steadily with adjustable flow rates and pressures, ensuring effective drilling. Mud pumps also feature compact designs, low noise, and ease of maintenance, widely used in mining, metallurgy, and water conservancy projects.
