The 18-inch sand pump is a professional sand pump developed by Ocean Pump Industry, also known as the 18-inch heavy-duty sand pump. The pump is well designed, has a high head, and its parts are strong and wear-resistant. It is very suitable for long-distance discharge of coarse sand and mud. Therefore, it is widely recognized and used in large-scale transportation projects involving material discharge, such as land reclamation, ship mud pumping, and ship sand and gravel pumping.
1. Why do we design 18-inch sand pump
Due to the uneven distribution of natural resources in some areas, land construction projects need to transport sand and soil from distant places. Therefore, the emergence of sand transport ships and mud transport ships has solved this problem. However, after these ships arrive at the construction site, they often face the problem that the sand unloading site is far away from the project site. The traditional method of using buckets or conveyor belts cannot efficiently complete such long-distance transportation tasks. In response to this problem, the design team of Ocean Pump Industry, relying on many years of design and construction experience, has developed a sand pumping unit specifically for use with sand transport ships.
This innovative solution seamlessly integrates the sand pumping unit with the sand transporter, achieving a continuous and efficient sand transport process. With a powerful 18-inch sand pump, the sand transporter can unload the cargo directly into the pump’s water inlet, and the pump then transports the sand and mud to the desired location through a pipeline. This eliminates cumbersome intermediate steps, greatly reduces labor requirements, and minimizes the overall project duration.
2. What is the purpose of the 18-inch sand pump design?
2.1 Improve sand removal efficiency of 18-inch sand pump
The 18-inch sand pump is designed to improve sand removal efficiency, and by optimizing the pump’s structure and working parameters, it ensures that large particles of gravel and mud can be quickly and effectively removed.
2.2 Enhance wear resistance
Considering that the sand pump will be subject to greater wear when handling liquids containing sand and gravel particles, wear-resistant materials or special coatings are usually used in the design to enhance the wear resistance and service life of the pump.
2.3 Improve work efficiency
A well-designed 18-inch sand pump can improve work efficiency, reduce energy consumption, reduce operating costs, and ensure that a large amount of sand removal operations can be completed in a short time.
2.4 Ensure equipment stability
Through reasonable design and material selection, ensure that the 18-inch sand pump has stable performance during operation, is not prone to failure, and improves the reliability and stability of the equipment.
2.5 Adapt to different environments
For different sand discharge environments and working conditions, the design of the 18-inch sand pump needs to take into account adaptability to ensure that it can work normally under various harsh conditions, such as marine environments, rivers, lakes and other sand discharge scenarios.
3. Sales case of 18-inch sand pump
On September 1, 2019, Ocean Pump Industry welcomed a customer from Guangdong who came to our company to purchase sand pumping equipment. The customer made specific requirements to our company based on his working conditions. Their sand transport ship has a capacity of about 500 cubic meters, and the sand unloading ship is equipped with a grab bucket. The customer emphasized that the sand pump must be able to pump sand from the bottom of the grab bucket and is also required to be equipped with a high-pressure water pump. What the customer cares most about is to ensure that the sand on each ship can be unloaded within one hour.
The expert team of Ocean Pump carefully evaluated customer needs and carefully formulated a supporting plan for the 18-inch sand discharge pump set. This sand discharge pump set has been widely used in large-scale filling operations in key areas such as Tianjin, Shanghai, Ningbo, Fujian, and Hainan. Its widespread use in these areas has proved its maturity and effectiveness compared to other pump sets on the market.
For water pumps, OCEAN Pump chose a 14-inch high-pressure water pump. At the same time, in order to ensure uninterrupted operation and emergency measures, a submersible high-pressure pump was added to the equipment configuration as an emergency water supply. This comprehensive solution meets the customer’s requirements for efficient sand discharge within the specified time.
