Mud Pump
The MK FLOW Mud Pump is a heavy-duty, high-performance reciprocating pump engineered to handle abrasive, viscous, and slurry-based fluids, especially in applications involving mud, slurry, sludge, and drilling fluids. Built to endure the harshest environments, it is widely used in mining, construction, oilfield drilling, and wastewater industries.
⚙️ Working Principle
The MK-MP is typically a reciprocating piston or plunger type pump. It works by drawing fluid into a cylinder during the suction stroke and forcing it out under high pressure during the discharge stroke. This positive displacement action ensures consistent flow regardless of fluid viscosity or solids content.
