Sludge Pumps
Sludge Pump is a machine tool used in the drilling and operation of boreholes to raise liquids, sand, and sludge to the surface.It is a short iron pipe or tube fitted with a valve at the lower end, with which the sludge is extracted from a borehole.Sludge pumps may be of the simple boring type, the piston type, the clamshell type, and the pneumatic type.
Boring sludge pumps consist of a hollow steel barrel or pipe, which has a shackle in its upper part that is used for connection to a cable or a rod and a valve in its bottom. Such Pumps are used in percussion drilling without flushing for cleansing the borehole face of rock crushed by the bit or of sludge, as well as during boring in sand, quicksand, and gravel. In percussion drilling for water, sludge pumps are used for experimental pumping and for priming. Piston and clamshell sludge pumps are used in prospecting for field deposits. Pneumatic sludge pumps are used in ridding boreholes of sand plugs. A special type of sludge pumps is so-called bailing pump, which is used in pumping oil and brine.
Slurry pumps are heavy and robust Centrifugal Pumps, capable of handling tough and abrasive duties. Designed for excellent performance, low energy consumption, long wear life and easy maintenance. Our horizontal and vertical pumps serve a wide range of slurry transport applications. Various designs are available to cover all hydraulic transportation needs in the widest variety of process applications including grinding circuits, tailings disposal, filter feed, dredging, hydro cyclone feed and general slurry transfer.
