Slurry Dewatering Pump

Hydroman™ Submersible Slurry Dewatering Pump is a type of pump designed for pumping liquid containing solid particles. Submersible Slurry pumps change in design and construction to adjust to multiple types of slurry which vary in the concentration of solids, size of solid particles, the shape of solid particles, and composition of the solution. A submersible slurry pump is more robust than liquid pumps, they have added sacrificial material and replaceable wear parts to withstand wear due to abrasion.

The hydroman pump performance is defined by the design of the casing and the impeller. The efficiency is related to the number and design of vanes in the impeller. Handling slurries, efficiencies are usually compromised by clearances and the need to build abrasion resistant heavy duty components, taking in consideration materials, thickness, etc.

Hydroman submersible Slurry pump could be electrically or hydraulically driven. If it is an electric slurry pump, the motor shaft carries the impeller. If it is a hydraulic slurry pump, the motor is directly coupled to the main shaft of the pump.

Design Features:

▪ Wear Plates

Manufactured in chrome steel alloy (24 to 28%) offering long service life.

▪ Temperatures

Maximum medium temperature: 60°C

▪ Acid Resistance

Pumps can operate in media pH 4-12

▪ Working Depth

Standard operating depth is 40m, but 120m depths can be achieved with the use of pressure compensators.

▪ Agitators

The hydroman agitator eliminates solids accumulating on the sump floor and can significantly reduce maintenance costs resulting from digging out sumps and downtime due to solids building up and choking off the suction of conventional pumps.

▪ Water Jet Ring

In applications where solids are especially difficult to pump, or simply where more agitation is required, Hydroman offers a special high pressure jet ring. This combination of jet ring and agitator have proven to be a truly effective 'agitation team'

Hydroman Pumps Applications: 

Dredging

Purpose of dredging is to increase flow capacity. 

Mining

Purpose of mining is to recover the material.
