Frame construction: strong skeleton

The power end frame of the WDD 650 is the rigid foundation of the entire pump and is designed to keep the crankshaft and crosshead perfectly aligned under great operating stress. The frame is welded with high-strength low-alloy steel and then subjected to a complete stress relief heat treatment after welding, or cast in one piece with high toughness ductile iron. This robust structural design effectively absorbs vibration and ensures long-term structural integrity, providing the first guarantee for stable pump operation in harsh drilling environments.

Crankshaft and gear transmission: the core of the power system

The crankshaft is the heart of the power end, we insist on using high alloy steel (42CrMo) single piece forging process manufacturing. By forging the crankshaft as standard, we have fundamentally eliminated a major potential source of failure and provided our customers with safer and more reliable pumps to protect their personnel and assets.

Power is transmitted through a set of herringbone gears. The main gear is made of high-grade alloy steel by precision machining. Its double helical tooth design ensures multiple teeth meshing at the same time, and realizes smooth and quiet power transmission. More importantly, the herringbone gear structure is able to automatically offset the axial thrust, which is a common cause of premature bearing wear in pumps with helical or spur gears.

Bearings and lubrication systems: designed for durability

The crankshaft of the WDD 650 is fully supported by a system of heavy duty bearings, including double row tapered roller main bearings and cylindrical roller centre bearings. This combination is well designed to effectively absorb and disperse the large radial and axial loads generated during operation, ensuring minimum wear and maximum service life.

The lubrication system adopts the dual mode of the combination of forced lubrication and splash lubrication. A built-in gear oil pump delivers filtered and cooled oil continuously to all key bearings, gears and crosshead slides. This design ensures that all moving parts are adequately lubricated to prevent wear and prolong the overall life of the power end, even under harsh conditions such as low speed operation or non-horizontal installation.

Forged steel modules: pressure cores

The hydraulic end of WDD 650 consists of three independent, interchangeable modules, each precision machined from solid forgings of high-strength alloy steel (35CrMo or AISI 4130/4135) . After forging, each module is subjected to a rigorous quenching and tempering heat treatment to optimize its mechanical properties, and non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed to ensure that there are no defects inside it. The requirements of the API 7K standard are strictly followed or exceeded throughout the manufacturing process.

Valve systems: the portal to performance

The WDD 650 pump comes with the industry standard API # 7 valve assembly, ensuring compatibility and mature performance at this power level. Valve assemblies are high-frequency wear components that affect pump efficiency and operational stability, and we have optimized the material and process of OEM valves to ensure their superior performance.

Piston and cylinder systems: power combinations for wearing parts

We offer a range of customizable piston-liner combinations to meet the wear and temperature challenges of different drilling fluids.

Liners:

Standard issue: high chromium bimetallic liners. The cylinder liner is made of forged steel shell, which can withstand high pressure, and the inner liner is made of centrifugal cast high chromium cast iron. Its hardness is up to HRC 62, which provides excellent wear resistance for various standard drilling operations.

Advanced Options: Zirconia ceramic cylinder liner. This is a huge leap in performance. The solid zirconia ceramic sleeve is pressed into the steel casing, and its service life can reach more than five times that of the bimetallic cylinder liner. The extremely high hardness and low friction surfaces of ceramic materials provide unparalleled resistance to wear and corrosion, this makes it the most cost-effective solution to minimize downtime under the most severe drilling conditions.

Pistons & Rods:

Standard pistons are of one-piece bonded polyurethane design, with the polyurethane skin vulcanized to a forged steel piston core (45 # steel or 40CR) . This structure provides excellent sealing performance, and can effectively resist the drilling fluid extrusion and chemical corrosion.

The piston rod is forged from high strength alloy steel (42CrMo) , integrally quenched and tempered, and plated with a thick, smooth layer of hard chromium. This multiple process ensures maximum strength and wear-resistant low-friction surfaces, ensuring long-term operation of the seal.

Optional system enhancement accessories:

Pulse buffer: installed on the outlet manifold, effectively absorb the pressure pulsation generated by the hydraulic end, reduce the vibration of the whole mud system, protect the downstream equipment and extend its service life.

Safety relief valve: this is the key component to ensure the safety of the system. It can automatically open when the system pressure is unexpectedly high, the high-pressure fluid relief, thereby protecting the pump and the entire high-pressure pipeline from catastrophic damage.

Cylinder liner flushing system: by continuously spraying coolant on the contact surface between piston and cylinder liner, this system can effectively reduce thermal wear and wash away abrasive particles, thus significantly extending the service life of these key vulnerable parts.

The WDD 650's engineering excellence enables it to perform a variety of demanding drilling tasks:

Deep well drilling: its pressure capacity of up to 5,120 psi is critical for overcoming the high hydrostatic pressure in deep wells and effectively circulating drilling fluids.

High flow rate operation: up to 688 GPM flow rate ensures efficient bottom hole cleaning and cuttings carrying in large diameter holes.

Horizontal and directional drilling (HDD-RRB- : stable and reliable pressure and flow rate are the key to drive downhole motors and effectively transport cuttings in ultra-long horizontal sections, which puts forward extremely high requirements for hydraulic efficiency.

Multifunctional rig integration (onshore and offshore) : the pump's rugged and relatively compact design allows it to be flexibly integrated into a variety of rig packages, from mobile land rigs to space-limited offshore platforms.
