high quality vertical slurry sump pump suppliers

Despite the complexity of internal flow patterns, the overall performance of dredge pumps is predictable.

Slurry Pump Impeller Size

What we mean by slurry is basically a liquid containing solid particles. When you want to pump this slurry, there are different requirements than when pumping only dirty water. A waste water pump cannot handle the solid particles of a slurry. This is where slurry pumps come in handy. >Slurry pumps are heavy duty and robust versions of centrifugal pumps, capable of handling tough and abrasive tasks.

Despite the complexity of internal flow patterns, the overall performance of dredge pumps is predictable.

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.

Flushing is defined as a fluid which is introduced into the seal cavity on the process fluid side, close to the seal face, and is normally used to cool and lubricate the seal face.
