china gravel dredge pump

Applications

Slurry pumps can be used to transport mixtures of liquids and solids in many industries in a wide range of applications, such as mine drainage, dredging of sunken lagoons and pumping of drilling mud.

Selecting And Operating A Slurry Pump

The winch dredger is usually equipped with a hull-mounted dredge pump, which has an impeller centered at or below the draft line for further production and improved suction efficiency.

Definition of dredge and slurry pumps

Any type of impeller can be used in slurry applications, but closed slurry pump impellers are more common because they are high efficient and abrasion Resistance,. Open slurry pump impellers are usually used well for high concentration solids as they are less likely to clog. For example, the small fibers in paper stock which, in high densities, may have a tendency to clog the impeller. Pumping slurry can be difficult.
