Double plunger bentonite grout pump

The double-plunger bentonite grout pump is a positive-displacement grouting unit specifically designed for high-viscosity bentonite slurries. It achieves continuous suction and discharge through the alternating reciprocating motion of two plungers, significantly reducing pressure pulsation compared to single-plunger pumps, and serves as core grouting equipment for tunneling, mining, and foundation reinforcement projects.
Applications of the double-plunger bentonite grout pump:
Synchronous and secondary backfill grouting for shield tunnels, enabling precise control of surface settlement
Grouting for diaphragm walls and dam curtains to stabilize geological structures and prevent water seepage
Reinforcement and water-blocking in fractured rock strata within underground mines; suitable for explosion-proof operating environments
Long-distance transport of bentonite friction-reducing slurry for trenchless pipe-jacking projects
Grouting for micropiles and anchor rods; foundation reinforcement in confined spaces

Double Plunger Bentonite Grout Pump for Tunnelling and Ground Engineering

A double plunger bentonite grout pump connects slurry preparation with controlled injection on site. In tunnelling and pipe jacking projects, it delivers prepared bentonite to designated points, helping contractors coordinate slurry supply with the progress of underground work.

Gaode Equipment’s hydraulic double-plunger design combines adjustable pressure and flow with a practical skid-mounted layout. Operators can adapt delivery within the pump’s operating range as pipeline conditions and injection demand change. This flexibility is useful when a project involves several treatment zones or different stages of grouting.

The two plungers provide successive suction and discharge strokes for ongoing slurry transfer. A hydraulic accumulator helps moderate pressure fluctuations, while the hydraulic pressure-relief arrangement provides overload protection. These features support controlled operation, although actual delivery performance depends on the slurry, valve condition and pipeline configuration.

For site installation, the skid base keeps the pumping assembly together in one equipment unit. A water cooler supports hydraulic temperature management, and the electrical control box incorporates waterproof push buttons. Where the project requires a larger pumping station, two pumps can be arranged on a shared base, with piping and controls selected for separate supply zones, alternating operation or standby service.

In pipe jacking and microtunnelling, a suitably configured bentonite grout pump supplies lubrication ports around the pipe string. The slurry helps form a lubricating layer between the pipe and surrounding ground, reducing friction during advancement. Adjustable output allows supply to be coordinated with the distribution system and the changing demand along the drive.

For tunnel grouting and designated annular filling, the pump can deliver compatible cement-bentonite mixtures to specified injection locations. Here, the material formulation must suit the filling or sealing objective. Delivery pressure, injection sequence and grout working time need to be considered together, particularly around existing linings and buried structures.

In foundation treatment and rock grouting, the hydraulic plunger grout pump can supply approved cement-based or cement-bentonite grout through drilled holes. Pressure and flow adjustment help operators respond to changing grout intake within the project’s injection limits. The ability of the material to enter the ground still depends on fracture dimensions, grout fineness and the selected formulation.

For underground void filling, the pump transfers suitable grout into surveyed cavities, redundant chambers and other designated spaces. Equipment selection should reflect the filling volume and required production rate, with planned venting and material containment. Large-volume filling may call for a different output configuration from low-flow injection work.

Reliable pumping begins with consistent slurry preparation. Proper bentonite dispersion and hydration, suitable holding capacity and an adequately sized suction line help maintain the feed to the pump. Matching these elements with the delivery pipeline allows the equipment’s adjustable performance to be used effectively.
