horizontal froth slurry pump

The dredge pump is designed to draw sediment, debris and other hazardous materials from the surface layer into the suction pipe and transport the material through the pipe to the discharge site. The pump must be able to handle common solid debris of various sizes that can pass through the pump, thus minimizing the downtime required for cleaning.

Slurry pump design

Pumps designed to pump slurries will be heavier than pumps designed for less viscous liquids because slurries are heavy and difficult to pump.

From an operational point of view the stuffing box is different as it requires some leakage to ensure lubrication and to prevent heat build up. The mechanical seal box should be leak free.
