Triplex Pump TPK 800 - 2200

WIRTH has the solution to meet requirements for harsh environmental condition as desert or arctic conditions. A full line of triplex, high pressure mud pumps can handle any drilling requirements for onshore or offshore applications. The TPK series of tough, fieldproven models for high operating pressure and large flow include: Ratings from 800 to 2 200 input HP Rear or top-mounted skid arrangement

Belt, chain or gear-driven configurations AC or DC drive motor configurations Operating pressure from 5 000 to 7 500 PSI. WIRTH triplex pumps are engineered to produce a very high work capacity with the minimum RPM, thus resulting in low stress and wear to vital components. The long stroke design reduces the number of load reversals in heavily stressed components and increases the life of the fluid end parts through

reduced speeds and valve operation. The fluid end has separate suction and discharge modules including the hydraulic valve closure system. Since several years the Schaeffler KG develops and delivers special roller bearings for WIRTH Triplex Mud Pumps. For example the Triplex Mud Pump TPK 2200 is completely equipped with FAG bearings. The main features of this WIRTH Triplex Pump are described in the following chapter.

The connecting rods and crosshead are mounted on high-capacity four row cylindrical roller bearings. For the design of the Triplex Mud Pump TPK 2200, FAG created following bearings: Crankshaft (1) Connecting rod (2) Crosshead (3) Drive Shaft (4) Crosshead Pin (5) spherical roller bearing cylindrical roller bearing cylindrical roller bearing cylindrical roller bearing special hardened steel 2 3 3 2 3 pcs. pcs. pcs. pcs. pcs.

The power end is made by welded and stress-relieved frame construction. The fluid end is equipped with triple interchangeable modular cylinders made from heat treated forged alloy steel. The crankshaft and pinion gear are mounted on low-friction roller bearings spherical- and cylindrical roller bearings.

For easier mounting and dismounting the cylindrical roller bearings in the connecting rod, they are mounted on withdrawal sleeves.

Lubrication
The bearings are lubricated by a dual, splash oil and forced oil lubrication system. The crosshead sliding faces have a bronze overlay. The piston liners are full spray cooled and lubricated.
