The vertical pump machine, also referred to as the PNSL type vertical sand pump, vertical pump, or vertical slurry pump, stands out as a pivotal tool in various applications. Manufactured by OCEAN PUMP, this specialized equipment plays a crucial role in the dredging of fish ponds and river management tasks. Operating on a principle that leverages the impact force generated by high-pressure water pumps, it effectively disperses and dilutes sand particles, facilitating the suction and pumping up of sediment mixed with water.

Boasting key features such as high concentration capabilities, substantial suction force, wear-resistance, and user-friendly design, the vertical slurry pump machine finds extensive utility across diverse scenarios. Its versatile applications include dredging and sediment extraction from rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, unloading sand in sandblasting operations, pumping mud from cement tankers, facilitating tunnel construction efforts, excavating aquaculture plants along shorelines, and aiding in the lifting, dredging, and embankment activities in lakes and rivers.

Moreover, the vertical slurry pump machine proves invaluable in the renovation of low-lying lands, construction of basic farmlands, and implementation of underground engineering projects. Its adaptability and efficiency make it a go-to solution for a wide array of tasks requiring reliable sediment extraction and pumping capabilities.

1. Customer needs background for Vertical pump machine

For several years, a sediment tanker manufacturer, servicing China Railway Construction, has maintained a longstanding collaboration with our company. Their consistent acquisition of 4PNSL-15 and 3PNSL vertical slurry pump machine models, specifically for installation on cement tankers utilized in tunnel dredging operations, underscores the reliability and efficacy of our offerings. The partnership reached a new milestone on May 5th, 2018, when the customer placed an order for an additional five sets of the 4PNSL-15 vertical sand pump machines.

During this interaction, the customer articulated valuable suggestions aimed at enhancing the functionality and durability of the equipment. One critical proposal involved the installation of a rain cover around the motor to shield it from water droplets, thereby safeguarding against motor damage due to exposure to moisture. Additionally, the recommendation to employ a dual-purpose motor, capable of operating both horizontally and vertically, emerged as a practical solution to ensure the stability of the vertical slurry pump machine unit when affixed to the tank body. These insightful suggestions not only reflect the customer’s commitment to optimizing operational efficiency but also underscore the collaborative nature of our relationship, founded on a shared dedication to innovation and excellence in equipment design and performance.

2. Vertical pump machine basic requirements

2.1 Vertical pump is installed on the pump truck

The integration of the vertical pump onto the pump truck represents a strategic decision aimed at enhancing mobility and operational flexibility within the cleaning process. With a robust flow rate exceeding 100m3/h and a lift head of 15 meters, the vertical pump exhibits impressive performance capabilities, making it well-suited for demanding operational environments.

2.2 The flow rate is more than 100m3/h and the lift head is 15 meters

One of the defining features of the vertical slurry pump machine is its construction from wear-resistant materials, ensuring durability and reliability even in the face of harsh conditions commonly encountered during tunnel cleaning operations.

2.3 The vertical pump machine is made of wear-resistant material which is suitable for harsh conditions.

In response to the specific requirements of tunnel cleaning tasks, our team developed the PNSL vertical slurry pump machine with a side pontoon configuration, optimizing its functionality for such applications. While the selection process for the vertical slurry pump machine proved straightforward, the challenge lay in facilitating convenient movement, particularly for the vertical cleaning pump with the side pontoon design. To address this issue effectively, the decision was made to mount the vertical slurry pump machine onto the pump car, enabling greater maneuverability and ease of transportation within the tunnel cleaning site.

We designed the PNSL vertical slurry pump machine with side pontoon for tunnel cleaning. The selection of the vertical pump machine is quite easy but the movement is not convenient for the vertical cleaning pump with side pontoon, so the vertical slurry pump is mounted on the pump car. The engineering team selected 4PNSL-15 pump model equipped with 4 poles 15 kW motor, after comparing the 5 vertical slurry pump model.

4. Delivery of vertical pump and application

Following the selection of the sand pump machine model, the PNSL vertical slurry pump machine was dispatched to the electric mud tanker factory for further processing. Following meticulous matching, assembly, and debugging processes, the refined vertical slurry pump machine was swiftly deployed to the designated construction site. Notably, this particular sand pump model has garnered significant recognition, emerging as the preferred procurement choice for esteemed entities such as China Railway Construction and Central South Civil Engineering, among other prominent national enterprises. The widespread adoption of the vertical pump underscores its reliability, efficiency, and suitability for meeting the diverse operational needs of key players within the construction and civil engineering sectors.
