hydraulic dredge pump

Mixers can also help agitators when pumping very dense particles. In applications where the tank is small and/or where pumping is desired to lower the water level in the tank, a slurry pump with an internal cooling system should be considered to avoid overheating of the stator (when the water level gets low). When pumping sediment from a dam or lagoon, consider the use of a raft unit, which is a submersible device. Agitators are recommended, as well as one or more mixers that can be mounted on the raft or pump to resuspend particles for successful pumping of particles.

3.Basic pump components such as impeller size and design, materials of construction and discharge configuration must be considered to ensure that the pump can withstand the wear and tear caused by abrasive slurries. Slurry pumps are typically larger in size compared to low viscosity liquid pumps and often require more horsepower to operate due to their lower efficiency. Bearings and shafts must also be more robust and durable.

I hope this short blog has helped to clear up some of the confusion about the seal flush programme. Please always refer to the pump manual for specific details. If there are still questions, welcome to >contact us today.

Submersible Slurry Pump

Slurry pumps with rubber lining are the ideal pump for the mineral sand industry. They have a special rubber lining that makes them heavy duty pumps capable of withstanding high levels of abrasion.
