The dredge pump is a heavy-duty centrifugal pump and it provides a variety of options in dredging.

How to select a suitable dredge pump

When choosing a dredge pump, the power, efficiency, capacity, resistance to wear, reliability, maintainability and general robustness, are essential features. The required production rate for a certain project in relation to the pipeline configuration, dictates the capacity of the pump, which is expressed in maximum cubic metres per hour.

The soil that needs to be dredged is also a deciding factor when selecting the shape of the dredge pump and the material it is made of. Dredging a mixture of rock and stones, for instance, requires an impact-resistant pump with a larger spherical passage, while sand has highly abrasive qualities where extreme wear-resistant materials are the best option.

Main data of the typical dredge pump:

Capacity:3000m3/h

Head:63m

Impeller Dia:1110mm

Size of SUC/DISC: 500/400mm
