Vermeer offers pump packages for horizontal directional drilling with new partnership

Vermeer has expanded its global reach with a new partnership with Tecniwell s.r.l., a manufacturer of high-pressure pump systems. Building on a successful partnership in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, this agreement makes select Tecniwell-branded high-pressure pump packages for the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) industry exclusively available through the Vermeer dealer network worldwide.

This expanded alliance enhances the Vermeer pipeline product lineup, offering contractors a comprehensive solution that includes maxi rig drills, reclaimers and high-pressure pump packages.

Products available through the partnership include:

At launch, the product offering includes the Tecniwell HDD 1500 and HDD 2500 high-flow triplex mud pumps. The HDD 2500 delivers a continuous flow rate of up to 754 gal/min (2,850 L/min) and pressure of up to 1400 psi (95 bar). The smaller HDD 1500 can produce a max flow rate of 322 gal/min (1,215 L/min) and up to 1450 psi (100 bar). Both models are available with multiple diesel and electric power options to meet regional regulations and jobsite needs.

Products will be manufactured at the Tecniwell facility in Italy and will feature the Vermeer yellow and black color scheme. The pumps come with an industry leading standard 1-year/1,800-hour warranty, and the triplex pump body is backed by a 3-year, 6,000-hour warranty.

"Expanding this partnership allows us to offer a more complete equipment solution to pipeline contractors globally," said Benny Melse, product manager for Vermeer. "Tecniwell has a proven track record of producing robust, high-performance pumps. By pairing their pumps with Vermeer drills and reclaimers, our dealers can provide customers with a packaged solution backed by the localized service and support they expect."

"Vermeer is a leader in the HDD industry, and we are excited to grow our partnership with their extensive global dealer network," said Paolo Ferrari, sales manager at Tecniwell. "This alliance allows us to bring our specialized HDD pump packages to a wider market, helping contractors work more efficiently."
