Sludge vacuum pump is a high load and strong suction vacuum conveying pump, also known as solid conveying pump or drilling chip conveying pump. Its unique structural design enables it to operate in the most difficult environments with low maintenance rate, and can transport solid materials exceeding 80% and high-density materials at high speed. It has the following characteristics: the high-efficiency Venturi device can generate up to 8 meters of water column vacuum (25” HG vacuum) to suction materials under strong airflow conditions, with almost no wear parts. The pump body has a compact structure, suitable for conveying high-density materials. Commonly used for transporting drilling cuttings and oily sludge.
Equipment features and advantages
100% aerodynamic power during equipment operation, no electrical requirements, safe operation in hazardous areas, and explosion-proof safety;
There are no rotating parts inside the equipment tank, making it less dangerous;
By relying on negative pressure (vacuum degree) for suction, negative pressure can generate 25” HG mercury column vacuum degree (up to 8 meters of water column vacuum) has superior suction performance;
The overall strength of the equipment is good, and it is easy to lift and move;
The equipment can achieve automatic suction and discharge of materials;
This device belongs to pressure equipment, and users may need to apply for approval based on the situation in each country before using it.
