Product catalog summary
Overview
The SA400 high pressure mud pump is designed to deliver a consistent flow of drilling fluid essential for HDD pipeline drilling projects. It features a lubrication pump driven off the engine's auxiliary pad, providing 55 psi (3.8 bar) of continuous crankshaft lubrication. The internal hydraulic reservoir has a capacity of 49 gallons (185.5 liters).
Key Features
  • Clutch System: Equipped with a continuous duty throw-out bearing for extended pump disengagement during drill rod makeup/breakout.
  • Maintenance: Lightweight shielding allows for easy maintenance, with each panel weighing less than 50 lb (22.7 kg).
  • Suction Inlet Valve: Suspends charged flow during drill rod makeup and breakout to prevent excess fluid escape.
  • Liner Wash Tank: Integrated to eliminate the need for additional water containers or electricity.
  • Remote Control: Pendant control allows for flexible mounting and monitors mud rate, eliminating the need for a stroke counter.
Performance Specifications
  • Flow Rate: Triplex piston pump produces up to 435.3 gpm (1647.8 L/min).
  • Air Compressor: Engine-mounted with a 30-gallon (113.6 L) tank, producing 26 cfm @ 120 psi (736.2 L/min @ 8.3 bar).
Technical Specifications
  • Weight and Dimensions: 26,600 lb (12,065.6 kg), Length: 19.1' (5.8 m), Width: 91.1" (231.4 cm), Height: 78" (198.1 cm).
  • Power Source: CAT C9 or C9.3 ACERT IOPU engine, Tier 3 or Tier 4i EPA certification, 350 hp (257.4 kW) at 1800 rpm, Diesel fuel, 191-gallon (723 L) fuel tank.
  • Control Systems: Onboard open control station and remote tethered control box with a reach of 120' (36.6 m).
  • Transmission System: 4 usable gears, Eaton 15.5" (39.4 cm) dual plate clutch with pneumatic assist.
  • Fluid Pump System: Weatherford T425 triplex piston pump, min flow 78 gpm (295.3 L/min), max flow 435.5 gpm (1647.8 L/min), relief valve setting at 1250 psi (86.2 bar).
  • Compressed Air System: Caterpillar compressor mounted on engine aux pad, 30-gallon (113.6 L) air tank.

This mud pump will deliver the consistent flow of drilling fluid that is vital to HDD pipeline drilling projects. Suction inlet valve suspends charged flow during drill rod makeup and breakout process, keeping excess drilling fluid from escaping as drill pipes separate. The lubrication pump is driven off the auxiliary pad on the engine. It provides 55 psi (3.8 bar) of continuous crankshaft lubrication. The internal hydraulic reservoir has a capacity of 49 gal (185.5 L). Clutch with continuous duty throw-out bearing allows for longer pump disengagement during drill rod makeup/breakout.

SA400 High Pressure Mud Pump Literature-3

A triplex piston pump produces up to 435.3 gpm (1647.8 L/min), providing a continuous flow of drilling fluid during drill operations. An electric centrifugal pump provides constant flow, keeping the pump running cool and leading to a longer life for both pistons and liners. Remote pendant control allows operator to mount controls where it makes sense for them. The remote pendant control monitors mud rate and eliminates the need for stroke counter. The integrated liner wash tank eliminates the need for additional water containers or electricity when running the pump. An engine-mounted air compressor...
