a dredge pump manufacturer

Sites often rely on centrifugal pumps to provide slurry service. These pumps (and their associated piping systems) require special provisions that demand detailed knowledge of the properties of solids and slurries to prevent wear, corrosion, erosion and other adverse effects such as solids settling. Specifying the optimum combination of speed, geometry and material requires a proper balance of often conflicting pump priorities; this requires consideration of stable operation, maximum wear life, operational flexibility and minimum energy consumption.

Determine the perfect combination of slow pumping (to reduce wear) and fast pumping to prevent solids from settling and clogging.

These mud pumps can pump not only sand, but also more mud. They are very effective in pumping all forms of mud, gravel, concrete, slurry, slush, etc.

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.
