Kamat Triplex Pumps

A triplex piston pump is a reciprocating positive displacement pump that uses only three pistons. This type of pump is often used for high pressure applications e.g. hydraulic systems. Due to its robust design, it is capable of pumping high viscosity fluids and fluids which contain solids. Piston.Duplex pumps have two liners and move mud on the forward and backward strokes. Triplex pumps have three liners and move mud only on the forward stroke. Air/gas compressors are used only when drilling with gaseous or gasified fluids.The advantages of triplex PD pumps lie in their high efficiency, their ability to generate high pressure and to produce constant volume irrespective of the pressure. Consequently, where an application demands controlled variable flow, they are eminently suited to variable speed drivesThere are two main types of pump types: Axial: Smaller pump with a wobble plate system that is ideal for many light and medium duty applications. Triplex: Larger pump with a crankshaft and piston system that delivers greater power and longer life that is used in medium and heavy-duty applications.
