Product Overview
The Gravel Pump – SG is designed for continuously transporting slurry containing large solid particles that are too large or abrasive to be handled by conventional slurry pumps.
Unlike standard slurry pumps, this type of gravel pump features a wider flow passage and stronger solid handling capability, allowing smooth transportation of materials such as gravel, sand, rocks and mining debris.
The pump adopts a single casing structure connected by clamp bands. The wide wet passage design helps reduce blockage risks and improves reliability when handling coarse materials with high abrasive characteristics.
The pump is widely used in:
- Dredging operations
- River and channel excavation
- Sand and gravel extraction
- Mining slurry transportation
- Metallurgical slag handling
