GD Energy Products launches new HDD pump

GD Energy Products (GDEP), a total solutions provider for the frac, drilling and well servicing pumps market, has launched the GD 500HDD pump, the latest addition to its line of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) pumps

HDD is a process usually deployed when installing pipes and cables underneath roads, rivers and other types of infrastructure. Therefore, most jobs come with a challenging set of parameters that demand high rates of accuracy, efficiency, and effectiveness. Horizontal directional drilling pumps provide an essential service to the HDD industry.

The GD 500HDD pump supports a range of HDD applications and can be used to tunnel under rivers and roads, as well as to help lay sewerage systems, water pipes, fibre optic lines and pipelines. With a rod load rating of 53,000 pounds, the GD 500HDD has the highest rod load on the market for triplex HDD pumps. This lightweight pump maximises flow rate in a compact design and its engineered power end frame with coated crankshaft bearings allows customers to achieve higher pressures capable of 1000 PSI+ at 600 GPM. The 500HDD also integrates next-generation fluid end technology, which features carbon steel construction and enhanced geometry to minimise stress on the pump.

Assembled with components made in the USA, the pump also features the company’s industry-leading Redline consumables, including valves and seats, pistons and liners for extended maintenance intervals. The internal components and seal housing feature an upgraded design to prevent contamination.

Jose Rubin, vice president of sales, said, “The HDD industry has been waiting for a triplex pump with this high of a rod load in a small-scale footprint, and GDEP is pleased to introduce this durable design. With any of GDEP’s pumps, customers can expect high-quality craftsmanship backed with our exceptional service and support. It provides the HDD market a powerful industrial pump with a high rod load built for the most rugged applications.”
