What is the difference between mud pump and submersible sand pump?

Jan. 20, 2022

Shijiazhuang Industrial Pump Factory Co., Ltd. is a dredge pump solution provider, for how to choose dredge pump, due to the different working environment, dredge pump can choose submersible dredge pump, boat mounted dredge pump, ladder pump, booster pump, in many work in this case, ladder submersible slurry pump is with boat mounted sand pump and booster pumps work together, so we share the knowledge of what is the difference between slurry pump and submersible sand pump.

Submersible sand pump

The submersible sand pump puts the whole pump into the water for sand dredging, which is easy to use and highly efficient. The submersible sand pump mainly consists of three parts: pump head, motor and combination seal. The hydraulic part is designed with advanced design method. The motor and pump are coaxially integrated in the medium, and the overflow parts (including pump body, pump cover and impeller) are made of wear-resistant materials. The product has well-selected materials, advanced structure, wide flow path and strong passing capacity. It is widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, mining, coal, electric power, building materials, municipal environmental protection, river dredging and other fields. It can also be used to convey liquids containing abrasive solid particles, such as sand.

 

Slurry Pump

A slurry pump is a machine that conveys slurry or water (such as flushing fluid) into the borehole during the drilling process. The slurry pump is an important part of the drilling equipment. In common positive circulation drilling, it is used to deliver the surface flushing medium - fresh water, slurry or polymer flushing fluid - to the bottom of the drill bit under a certain pressure through a high-pressure hose, tap and the center hole of the drill pipe. Cools the drill bit, removes swarf and transports it to the surface.

Commonly used slurry pumps are piston, plunger and centrifugal. The crankshaft of the pump is driven by the motive machine, and the crankshaft drives the piston or plunger through the crosshead to reciprocate in the pump cylinder. Under the alternating action of suction and discharge valves, the purpose of pumping and circulating flushing fluid is achieved.

 

Submersible sand pump is a kind of centrifugal slurry pump. It generates centrifugal force through the rotation of the impeller and transports slurry from one place to another. Therefore, when ordering a slurry pump, you need to specify the medium to be conveyed. The manufacturer of electric submersible sand pump and hydraulic submersible dredge pump, Huadong Pump Industry, will choose a more suitable slurry pump or submersible sand pump according to the actual situation on site, and equip with related dredging equipment, such as boat dredge pump, ladder dredge boat pump, booster sand pump.
