OREANDA-NEWS. Uralmashplant JSC signed a contract for supply of six slush pumps UNBT-600L: the first two will be manufactured by the end of October, the last four - by the end of the year.

They make up additional volume of supply. Also forty slush pumps UNBT-1180L for "Uralmash-NGO Holding" are under manufacture at present.

Slush pumps are meant for flushing-out while hole making, for infusing drilling mud into a hole, cleaning the hole toe and the shaft from cuttings and withdrawing them to the surface as well as for cooling the jet bit and bringing hydraulic type motors into action.

Slush pumps are one of the most responsible units of drilling rigs. Therefore, every pump should undergo the full complex of testing, including checking several parameters: water pressure, heating temperature of bearing units, vibration level etc.

Pumps for drilling rigs are traditional products of "Uralmashplant". Nowadays, the plant manufactures triplex slush pumps with L-shape hydraulic boxes of 600-1180 kW input power.
