Self Priming Pumps
Plunger Pump
The plunger pump is designed for heavy duty service in difficult sludge, suspension, transfer and metering applications. It is a positive displacement pump-priming that can pass solid objects up to 1-5 / 8 inch in diameter, rags, or entrained air.
The plunger pump is self-priming and can pump viscous fluids, well run dry
The plunger pump move heavy solids, sludge charged, typically found in treatment systems for municipal and industrial wastewater.
Applications
- Primary sludge
- Thickened Sludge
- Waste activated sludge
- Sludge transfer
- Belt filter press feed
- DAF float
- Scum
- Pulp and paper stock and pulp wastes
- Food processing wastes and slurries from grains, fish, meat packing and cannery operations
- Oil field production and refinery sludges
Benefits
- Self priming with ability to handle suction lifts and entrained gases
- Positive displacement
- Can run dry without damage
- Flow rate is not system head dependent
- Flow rate is not sludge concentration dependent
- Positive metering
- High volumetric efficiencies, 90% and higher
- No critical tolerances
- Flow rate consistent throughout life of pump
- Easy clean out capability
- Large internal clearances
- Handles high solids concentrations
- Built-in overload protection
- Low cost of maintenance
- Common replacement parts are easily accessible
