gold dredge pump parts suppliers

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.

A slurry pump is a mechanical device used for the pressure-driven transfer of a fluid mixture (aka slurry). The fluid mixture consists largely of water as a liquid and solids as minerals, sand, gravel, human excrement, drilling mud or mostly crushed material.

There are several types of slurry pumps, the most common being: centrifugal and volumetric pumps.

How does a dredge pump work?

The size and nature of the solids in the liquid: The size and nature will affect the amount of physical wear on the pump and its components, and whether the solids will pass through the pump without being damaged.
