The perfect pump for drilling

Drill rigs across the country are in constant need for a compact pump that can handle the most viscous and abrasive products. Bentonite, an abrasive clay-like substance often used in the drilling industry is considered to be one of the most viscous materials. But even bentonite is no match for Watson-Marlow Bredel’s SPX hose pumps.

Using an SPX hose pump allows the drill rig to pump the most abrasive and viscous substances without the risk of clogging or failing.

The compact size of the SPX compared to other positive displacement pumps means that less deck space is needed. The pumps are less expensive, and maintenance is much easier. In fact, completely rebuilding an SPX is a simple operation; all that is required is to drain the lubricant, unbolt the flanges, and replace the old hose. In addition, the SPX pumps are easy to drain and winterize.
