Feb 10, 2026 Leave a message

Type Classification: Belongs to centrifugal pumps, commonly referred to as sand suction pumps, sand pumps, slurry pumps, or gravel pumps.

 

Applicable Medium: Can convey slurry containing 40%–60% solid particles, with maximum particle diameter ranging from 50–178 mm (some large particle models can even handle 240 mm).

 

Structural Forms
Horizontal: The mainstream form, using a single-stage single-suction centrifugal structure; flow-through parts are mostly made of high-chrome wear-resistant alloys. Suitable for inland rivers, mines, power plants, etc.

 

Vertical: Commonly used for desilting in hydraulic engineering, can be combined with high-pressure water guns to form a hydraulic dredging unit.

 

Submersible: The motor and pump work coaxially submerged in water, equipped with an agitator impeller to stir up sediment, no auxiliary equipment required.
