The big particle sand pump is ideal for extracting pebbles, small stones, river debris, and other large particle materials. Standard sediment pumps are not designed to handle these types of materials, but the large particle sediment pump can effectively transport such materials over long distances. The big particle sand pump is widely used in dredging, large particle sand mining, river dredging, tailings cleanup, and other industries.
1. Order background of Big particle sand pump
A customer from Zhejiang signed a dry land dredging project that required a transport distance of 1500 to 2000 meters. The soil contained stones, garbage, and other materials. The pump type needed to be easy to construct, offer good passage capacity, and have a long service life. It also needed to pump sand at a rate of 300 m³/h, using a diesel engine as the power source.
Based on the customer’s construction requirements and our similar project experience, we recommended that the customer use the ZS300-50 large particle slurry pump. To support the operation, we suggested a high-pressure water pump to provide high-pressure water, which would impact the soil layer and create the slurry needed for the big particle sand pump.
2. Parameters of Big particle sand pump ZS300-50

3. Install and test of big particle sand pump
The large particle pumping machine features a wide flow channel and excellent passage performance. Its pump shell, impeller, and safety guard are made from wear-resistant alloy, ensuring a long service life. After inspecting the pump construction site, evaluating our parts and pumps, and comparing our proposal with dredging pump machines from other suppliers, the customer selected our big particle sand pump. Once we shipped the ZS300-50 large particle dredge pump units to the customer’s site, they immediately installed it on the existing floating platform.
They began trial production, achieving a mud production of 500 m³ on the first day. However, there were issues with diesel smoking and some debris. After the customer reported the problem, our company quickly contacted the construction workers. We discovered that the customer had not installed the long-distance pipeline at the outlet of the large particle silt pump during the trial production.
4. Troubleshooting of big particle sand pump
The lack of demand for the pump’s actual head led to an increase in pump flow rate, resulting in a power demand that exceeded the diesel engine’s capacity. This caused black smoke and debris. We advised the customer to install the pipeline as soon as possible. The customer took immediate action and tested the pump again after the pipeline was installed. The previous issues did not recur, and the flow rate was 350 m³ while delivering over a distance of 1,500 meters. Our customer was very satisfied with these results.
Conclusion
The successful implementation of the ZS300-50 big particle sand pump in the Zhejiang dredging site exemplifies its prowess in handling challenging materials like stones and debris. Through meticulous customer engagement, tailored recommendations, and prompt issue resolution, Ocean Pump demonstrated a commitment to excellence.
