Dredging Pump


The dredging pump is a single-stage single-suction horizontal centrifugal pump. The dredging pump system is mainly composed of a pump head, a reduction gearbox, a highly elastic coupling, and a marine transmission monitoring system. It has an overall structure with good marine performance and excellent dredging performance. , Long life, high efficiency, reliable shaft seal, the use of significant comprehensive economic benefits and other characteristics, can fully meet the requirements of dredgers for mud pumps.

Dredging pump work,the impeller is considered the core of a dredge pump and is similar to a fan that forces out air creating a centrifugal suction force. at the suction pipe, this vacuum absorbs the slurry and transports the material through the discharge pipeline.

Dredge pump selection introduction

dredge pump or slurry pump selection could be a challenging process which could be simplified with the understanding of the primary factors behind smooth pump operation. apart from delivering a more efficient performance, the right dredge pump requires lesser maintenance, reduced power and has a relatively longer life.

Slurry pump and dredge pump terms may be used interchangeably.

definition of dredge pump and slurry pump

slurry pumps are the mechanical devices utilized for pressure-driven transport of a fluid mixture (aka slurry). the fluid mixture by and large consists of water as a liquid with solids being minerals, sand, gravel, human waste, drilling mud or most of the crushed materials.

Abrasion-resistant heavy-duty centrifugal self-priming pumps, equipped with high-chromium steel, semi-open solids-handling impellers, replaceable volutes and wear plates. for use with non-flammable liquids compatible with pump component materials. dredging pumps in gas, diesel or hydraulic and submersible versions.

Portable dredging and dewatering pumps. also used at time by contractors involved in underground utilities, directional boring. pumpbiz is your one stop shop for all your contractor dredging pump needs. we have electric, gas, diesel and hydraulic powered versions. 

Dredge pump characteristics

Cutter suction dredges are typically equipped with a hull mounted dredge pump that has the center of its impeller located at or below the waterline for further production and improved suction efficiency.

A dredge pump is designed to move a large volume of fluid and solids.

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

Certain models can generate discharge pressures up to 260 ft. (80 m) of head.

A dredge pump’s overall performance is predictable, despite a complex internal flow pattern.
