Sludge vacuum pump is a vacuum conveyor with high load and strong suction. It is also called solid conveyor, drill cuttings conveyor, vacuum transfer pump, and etc. Its unique structure design enables it popular on offshore drilling platforms with low maintenance rate and almost no vulnerable parts. AIPU sludge vacuum pump can realize the automatic and manual switching modes.
Last month, 2 sets of sludge vacuum pump APVTP-10 are delivered to offshore end user. The vacuum pump can efficiently transport pure solid granular materials, powder materials, and high gravity materials, as well as various solid-liquid mixtures or silt materials. The discharge distance can reach 500 meters.
