How does a dredge pump work?

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.

When dealing with slurry, you generally want to go bigger and slower. The thicker the impeller, the better it will hold up. The slower the pump, the less erosion will inflict on the impeller. However, the impeller isn’t the only thing to worry in slurry pump when dealing with slurry. Tough, durable materials of construction are necessary most of the time. Metal slurry pump liners and wear plates are common in slurry applications.

In dry installation, the hydraulic end and drive unit are located outside the oil sump. When using a submersible slurry pump for dry installation, the slurry pump must always have a cooling system installed. Consider the design of the water tank in order to deliver slurry to the pump. Agitators and side-mounted agitators cannot be used for this type of installation.

All products are mainly supplied to environmental protection, wastewater treatment, urban water supply and drainage, mine, metallurgy, coal, petrochemical, building material, thermal power FGD, river dredging, tailing disposal and other fields.

Some quench seals are planned to replace the tight fitting outlet restriction with a secondary seal and a top outlet that can be piped to capture the used quench fluid and drain it from the rotating assembly. However the principle is the same, we try to cool the seal rather than flush it in any way.
