1 What Is A Sand Digging Pump

The sand digging pump, also known as sand suction pump, is an essential tool for handling fluids containing slurry or sand solids. This kind of sand suction pump is often installed on the jet sand suction dredger. To ensure trouble-free performance, it is crucial to select the appropriate sand digging pump and materials suited for applications involving highly abrasive or corrosive liquids. OCEAN Pump provides a comprehensive selection of sand suction pumps that are specifically designed to tackle various levels of sand or slurry duty, ranging from light to severe conditions.

These specialized sand digging pumps offered by OCEAN Pump are engineered to deliver optimal performance and reliability. With careful consideration given to the specific requirements of handling abrasive or corrosive substances, these pumps are built to withstand the challenging environments they encounter. By employing durable materials and advanced design techniques, OCEAN Pump ensures that their sand suction pumps can effectively handle the demanding nature of sand or slurry applications.

2. Sand Suction Pump Applications

Whether the task involves light sand or severe slurry duty, OCEAN Pump’s range of sand suction pumps provides suitable solutions for a wide range of needs. By offering dependable performance and efficient operation, these pumps contribute to improved productivity and reduced maintenance requirements. OCEAN Pump’s dedication to delivering reliable sand suction pumps ensures that customers can confidently tackle their sand or slurry handling challenges with ease.

The sand digging pump is mainly used for long-distance transportation of strong abrasive materials, because the particles are too large to be transported by general sand pump. The large particle gravel pump is suitable for sand pumping, sand mining, and it is also widely used for metal smelting blast residue transportation. Because of the good passing performance, the gravel sand pump is also widely used in river dredging.

3. Why Chose 16 Inch Sand Suction Pump for River Dredge

There were many rivers in the urban area of Douala. The domestic wastewater and garbage were discharged into the river all the year round. This resulted in the clogging of several river channels and water flow retarding. It also caused environmental pollution and affected the city image and people’s living quality. Responding to national environmental protection requirements, an environmental protection company in Douala undertook a dredging and rectification project for a certain river section. There were sand, mud and many household garbage in the river. We planed to choose sand digging pump for the project. This kind of sand digging pump was widely used in garbage cleaning because of good passing capacity and high wearing resistance. According to the emission amount and distance requirements, we finally chose the sand digging pump model of ZS150 large particle sand suction pump for customer.

5. Manufacturing and Testing

On July 5th, 2021, our workers started to assembled the large-particle sand mining pumps according to the assembly diagram. They welded the metal common base and the shaft connection coupling according to the size of the client’s engine and gear box, sealed the inlet and outlet. Then, the workers carried out water injection test to observe whether there’s any water leakage appeared in the sealing position. After the test, there was no water leakage and the bearings rotated normally. After connecting the electric motor, we fixed the common base and packed the 2 sets sand digging pumps well, then packaged the by wooden box for container loading to Douala work site.

This kind of big particle gravel dredge pump can also be used in river or sea sand suction dredger , normally equipped with diesel engine and gear box or belts in the machine cabin. The dredging performance will be better with the help of high pressure water jetting from high pressure water pump in dredger.
