high quality centrifugal dredge pump

Caution: A common mistake is to over-pressurise the box and damage the expensive mechanical seal.

Under ideal conditions, a dredge pump can produce fluid acceleration greater than the speed of its fastest moving component.

All manufacturers are consistently involved in product development in the long and short term. Customers should expect to benefit from these developments in a number of ways: increased efficiency, increased reliability, reduced operating costs, or a combination of both.

- Hydraulic efficiency is as important as the material, as efficiency is related to wear. The swept-back design of the impeller blades minimises the separation of solids from the carrying fluid, resulting in a more uniform flow. This results in a slower wear rate.

Many types of pumps are used to pump slurry, but the most common slurry pump is the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal slurry pumps use centrifugal force from a rotating impeller to impinge kinetic energy on the slurry, similar to the way watery liquids pass through a standard centrifugal pump.

Slurry pumps can also simply axially adjust the clearance between the impeller and the adjacent throat casing sealing surface. This helps to maintain pump performance when internal components begin to wear.
