Distance and height needed to pump, along with desired flow rate also contribute to the pump selection process. There are multiple factors to take into account when determining the right slurry or sludge pump, not just the material. The impellers cut through tough debris, and the powerful suction moves the material. These same locations along with lagoons, mine tailing ponds, water containers, and numerous other facilities can also contain the thinner mud, vegetation growth, and other wastes that makeup slurry.ĭAE Pumps high-performance submersible pumps are capable of pumping slurry and sludge with ease. Sludge and slurry can be found at the bottom of wastewater containers or ponds consisting of thick mud, clay, or wastes containing rocks and sand. The two materials can typically be found in the same type of environment. Slurry on the other hand is thinner and sloppy. Sludge is typically a thicker and soft substance. Their consistency and texture are what differentiate the two, however, there is no defining factor that separates them. Sludge and slurry are a combination of a wet mixture of liquids and solids. Submersible slurry pumps are powered electrically (ESP) or hydraulically (HSP). Because the submersible slurry pump is in water, there is no need to prime the pump, thus providing a very efficient way of moving slurry. A slurry hose connects to the discharge outlet to transport the materials.
Next, the larger the head and discharge outlet, the more material it can move. The submersible pumps also have an agitator or impeller to prevent too large of size rocks from entering and clogging the pump. The submersible slurry pump comes with an open stand or strainer design, and our submersible slurry pumps have a combined open stand with a strainer. The pump head suctions in water, slurry, sludge, sand, and rocks, while the discharge outlet expels out the material.ĭAE Pumps submersible drainage pumps use strainer stands to ensure mostly water passes through. The size and shape of the head and the discharge outlet determine the flow rate of a pump. Using a submersible pump with the proper flow rate, head, impeller, and agitator expedites the pumping process and ensures hassle-free operation. Our pumps move up to 1664 gallons per minute of material and are available in 3-inch, 4-inch, and 6-inch models.Ĭhoosing the right submersible pump for the job is essential in efficiently transporting large volumes of water and solids, which effectively saves time and money. The toughness of the matrix also contributes to the wear resistance and makes it very suitable for pumping sand.ĭAE Pumps non-clogging submersible sand pumps provide the ultimate in toughness and sand pumping capabilities. The exceptional wear resistance of high chromium cast iron is due to the high volume fraction of hard chromium carbides. Our submersible sand pump wear components are built with a high chromium iron, an extremely strong alloy that is mainly used in mining, milling, earth-handling, and manufacturing industries which require materials with exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. However, over a period of extended time, the submersible sand pumps will show signs of wear on these parts from the constant pounding of sand and will require replacement. The submersible sand pump is designed to minimize the effects of blasting sand.
The beating of sand on the impeller, volute, and even the hose cause extreme wear and tear on pump components. Sand is one of the most abrasive materials for any type of pump to manage.

Our submersible drainage pumps, submersible sludge pumps, and submersible slurry and sand pumps provide light-duty to heavy-duty pumping options. We offer electronic and hydraulic lines of submersible pumps used in dewatering and for solids moving purposes. The DAE Pumps submersible pumps are built from a reliable platform design for use in a variety of applications and industries. This is done by the water being pulled into the pump: first in the intake, where the rotation of the impeller pushes the water through the diffuser.
The submersible pumps push water to the surface by converting mechanical energy into kinetic energy, then into pressure energy. The motor is enclosed in an airtight seal and is close-coupled to the body of the pump. Submersible pumps are a type of pump that can be fully submerged in water.
