Light-duty 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.

Desire for higher efficiency than centrifugal pumps

Some models can generate discharge pressures up to 260 ft. (80 m).

If a centrifugal pump, is the design and material used to construct the impeller suitable for pumping slurries?

Why would maintenance personnel want to adjust a high-speed rotating impeller to a static lining component while the unit is running? Even if interlocking devices are used to prevent static and non-static components from coming into contact, how credible are these features and what are the implications for pump wear parts, bearings and motors if these two components come into contact?
