Selecting a dredge pump

There are many factors that should be considered when investing in a slurry pump. For example, it is important to consider the type of slurry, as the solids content of slurries can vary from 1% to 70%. It is also important to consider the level of wear and corrosion of the material being pumped; coal and some ores can corrode parts and damage your equipment fairly quickly, often beyond repair. This wear and tear can add significantly to operating costs, and you may eventually need to purchase new equipment to continue working.
