Faqs

What are solid handling pumps used for?

Solid handling pumps are designed to transfer liquids containing suspended solids, such as slurry, sludge, and wastewater. They are crucial in industries where fluids have a high solids content, ensuring efficient and reliable transfer without clogging or seal failure.

What types of pumps are suitable for solid handling?

Suitable pumps include centrifugal, self-priming, diaphragm (AODD), peristaltic and progressive cavity pumps. These pumps are designed to handle large particles and abrasive materials, ensuring smooth operation and longevity.

Which industries use solid handling pumps?

Industries such as mining, wastewater treatment, and food processing use these pumps to manage fluids with high solids content, ensuring efficient processing and waste management.

How do I choose the right solid handling pump?

Consider factors such as the size of solids, concentration, whether they should be conveyed gently or if breaking the solids up aids the next stage of the process, fluid viscosity, and required flow rate. Consulting North Ridge Pumps ensures expert advice tailored to your specific application needs.

Solid Handling Pumps for Conveying Solids in Liquids

Solid handling pumps are essential for applications where solids are conveyed as part of a liquid. The ability to handle solids depends on various factors such as particle size, density, flow rate, and concentration. Due to differences in density and gravity, solids have a natural tendency to separate from the liquid, especially when centrifugal forces are involved in the pumping process.

The larger the density of the solid particles, the higher the likelihood of separation from the fluid. However, turbulence within the pipework can help counteract this separation, ensuring that the solids remain suspended in the liquid during transfer. The method of transfer, and the pump selected, depends on the flow rate, particle size, and the concentration of solids in the liquid. These pumps are vital in industries like mining and wastewater treatment, where efficient handling of solids is critical to maintaining operational efficiency.
