Bentonite Pumping

Client: Directional Drillers

Application:  Bentonite Slurry Pumping

Duty Point: 600 gpm @ 50 ft TDH

Solution: Screwsucker Pumping

Apsco sought out slurry pumping applications as a niche market as we were confident the performance of the Screwsucker system would far out perform any other technologies currently used as most common practice.  The Screw Centrifugal pump and slurry specific dry priming system were built integral to the Screwsucker for tough applications life Slurry pumping.  We were able to showcase this in North Carolina for one of the countries largest Directional Drilling companies.  We worked closely with their fleet manangment to ensure spare parts reliabilty and limited downtime.  With the Screwsucker system the contractor realized pump life twice as long as their current fleet pumps and no maintenance to keep the priming system from clogging and the pumps from losing prime.  The project superintendents now ask for Screwsucker Pumps by name for their reliablity and 75% fuel savings.
